After quirky songs were played to welcome the delegates to the G20 Summit being held in New Delhi, India, another weird incident has come to light. It is being said that the menu served to the attendees had quirky names referring to some Presidents' names, the theme of the event, and much more.
A vegetarian dish reminded people of US President Joe Biden as it was named "Biden Tandoori Malai Broccoli." Another dish from the non-veg menu read "Trump Half-Tandoor Chicken," hinting about Donald Trump, former president of the United States. That wasn't all; there were more dishes with unusual names. To name a few: One Earth Hara Kebab, G-20 Agenga Murgh Kastoori Kebab, Economy Kasundi Mahi Tikka, and Hi Stake Meeting Of Tandoori Lobster.
Rajya Sabha MP Saket Gokhale (Trinamool Congress) shared the menu on X, drawing netizens to react to the menu. The post has gone viral and attracted laughter on social media. "Are we hosting a G20 Summit or making a joke of ourselves?" he wrote while sharing the menus online. The politician, meanwhile, clarified that the menu was not for the Presidential dinner but for the foreign delegates dining at the Bharat Mandapam.
