The residents of the Cambridge villages of Shelford and Stapleford - recently identified as the 16th century European ancestral home of Barack Obama‘s family - have announced a culinary extravaganza designed to celebrate the president‘s heritage. Oh, and appeal to the millions of bored American tourists who are likely to descend on the region as a result. The local butcher, baker and candlestick-maker have created a series of culinary delicacies in the president‘s honour which include a yummy curry dish called “The Barack O BhunaŽ, “The Yes We Can FlanŽ and “The Village Big CheeseŽ.
The presidential food-fest is the brainchild of local resident and food fan Pete Bassett, who said: „The news of the president‘s Cambridgeshire roots has put these two wonderful villages well and truly on the map and with Cambridge such a huge tourist destination, it is likely our villages will become a magnet for many US visitors. The idea of creating special celebratory recipes covering different traditional and not so traditional foods got the creative juices flowing with many of the locals; and although the idea of a curry may not been seen as the most traditional recipe to celebrate such news, it typifies a taste that has a universal appeal and some may say mirrors, from a culinary perspective, the popularity of the president himself.“ No British food Some blogs claim Obama‘s favourite foods are chilli, shrimp and grits, and ANYTHING BUT BRITISH FOOD! Mr President has also claimed that his favourite food is from Italian Fiesta Pizzeria in Hyde Park, Chicago. The Cambridge villagers plan is to have recipes refined and ready for the summer with a launch date of 1 June. There were even moves to try to see if the President while he was in the UK for the G20 summit had time to visit his village roots and receive some recipe tips.
