The White House will host a state dinner to honor German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday night. White House chefs will use herbs and vegetables grown in Michelle Obama's garden in the courses and will use White House honey in the vinaigrette for the salad.
If you were looking for some German influence, the closest you'll come is the dessert of Apple Strudel. Take a look at the full menu below.
