In honor
of Theodore Roosevelt's 142nd birthday, the Theodore Roosevelt
Association presents a fine recreation of the dinner held at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York on October 26, 1900.
The
menu - Bluepoint Oysters; Green Turtle, Clear; Timbale of Peanut
Ham; Crab Flake a la Newburg; Filet of Beef, Dickinson; Fresh
Mushrooms Sous Cloche, Roman Punch, Quail Bread Sauce; Cakes -
Confectionary - Fruits; Biscotti; and Coffee - accompanied by
appropriate wines gave a glimpse into a slice of life at the turn
of the last century.
The
current birthday dinner also commemorates the centennial of TR's
term as Governor of New York. Before Theodore's next birthday,
politics and fate would bring him to the Vice Presidency and ultimately
the Presidency. TR remains the youngest person ever to hold the
office of President.
