What would a dinner with the famous Thomas Jefferson be like? Firstly, I would be honored to be sharing a meal with this iconic man. Secondly, if I was to decide what kind of meal we would have for dinner I would choose Baked Virginia Ham and fried asparagus. I chose the Ham because I thought having some meat at the dinner would be nice, even though its portions my not be as big as the other dishes because of Jefferson using meat to compliment his dinner, instead of having it as the main dish. I also chose fried asparagus because of Jefferson's love for asparagus and because I have personally never had it before and being able to try the asparagus that is grown from Thomas Jefferson's garden would be the way to do it.
My project topic for this class is 'Thomas Jefferson's favorite foods,' so the top of the evening with Jefferson would definitely be about what his favorite foods were and why. I would like to know why he preferred certain foods over others. I would also like the chance to go more in depth with his experience with food in other countries and why he decided to share it with other in the US and why he sent food to other countries. Having the opportunity to discuss the impact food has made on his life would definitely be an opportunity I wouldn't want to miss.
