What's on the menu at the White House state dinner?

(CBS News) Along with entertainment, there will be plenty of food to go around during tonight's White House state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha.

The banquet's decor theme is "America's Backyard," as backyards tend to be gathering places for close friends and family. Guests will gather in a tent on the South Lawn of the White House.

"Planters and centerpieces used at the dinner are intended to emulate nature and the flowing 'landscape gardens' that are common in England," explains the White House.

The food represents an American and British partnership, according to the White House. Menu items will feature local ingredients, including produce grown in the White House Kitchen Garden.

First Course

Crisped Halibut with Potato Crust
Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Applewood Smoked Bacon

Second Course

Main Course

Bison Wellington, Red Wine Reduction, French Beans, Cipollini Onion

Dessert

Warm Meyer Lemon Steamed Pudding with Idaho Huckleberry Sauce and Newtown Pippin Apples

An American wine will be paired with each course.

According to the White House, the main course, Bison Wellington, is a "perfect pairing of U.S. and U.K. cultures," while Newtown Pippin Apples serve as a symbol of the American-British partnership -- the apple was so favored by Queen Victoria that she had the customs duty on them eliminated."
