What's on the menu for Trump's state dinner with China's Xi? One American staple is notably missing

President Donald Trump, despite his wealth, isn't exactly known for his refined palette.

Conspicuously missing from the menu, however, is an American dining staple - red meat. 

In fact, no meat will be served at all. Instead, the dinner is exclusively a pescatarian affair.

The menu for the event, provided to Fox News Digital by First Lady Melania Trump's office, says the first course consists of yellow squash velouté, wild mushroom fricassée, crispy pancetta and scallion oil.

"The first course offers a refined and silky-smooth velouté made of sweet yellow squash," the menu states. "This course is gently blended to highlight its delicate seasonal flavors of earthy wild mushrooms, sautéed with fresh herbs. Together, these ingredients create a rich fricassee, complemented by crispy pancetta for a savory and smoky contrast. A finishing drizzle of scallion oil adds vibrance and a subtle allium brightness to the dish."

"The second course is prepared delicately with fresh seabass and coated in toasted sesame seeds," according to the menu.

"This combination creates a fragrant nutty crust while keeping the fish tender. The fish is served with crisp baby bok choy and roasted garden eggplant, creating lightly caramelized flavors. The dish is finished with a vibrant sauce verte of fresh herbs, which add brightness, acidity, and a garden character."

"The dessert course is a smooth vanilla crémeux with a vibrant sour cherry confit center, set a top a rich walnut frangipane," the menu says. "The dessert's fruit shaped form is complimented by a delicate ice cream made with harvested White House honey."

The First Lady unveiled a beehive on the White House South Lawn earlier this year.

Famous American tenor Christopher Macchio, who was featured at the Republican National Convention in Dallas a few weeks ago, will entertain for the evening, along with military musicians from the Army and the Marine Corps.

"The décor for the evening is an expression of warmth and celebration and draws on the color red's longstanding cultural significance throughout Chinese history," the First Lady's memo says, and will feature "urns overflowing with red blossoms and tables covered by red linen with dahlias and ranunculus."

After the dinner, both presidents are expected to retire for the evening.
