When I was at the Naval Academy, our illustrious chef Louis LaForge imported a Washington DC specialty - Senate Salad. The main tables had theirs served from a giant polished mahogany bowl on loan from the Senate (it was a gift from the Philippine Government).
The salad consisted of mixed greens adorned with bay shrimp, green pepper, green onion, and walnuts encapsulated in a savory tomato aspic.
Really good!
