For his first official meal as President, it’s being reported that Barack Obama will be dining on some of the favorite foods of Abraham Lincoln.

Served in Congress’ Statuary Hall, the First Family, along with the Vice President, congressional leaders, Supreme Court justices and members of the new Cabinet will eat a multi-course meal including seafood stew, duck breast with cherry chutney, whipped molasses sweet potatoes, roast pheasant and cinnamon apple spongecake.

The luncheon is set to be served on replicas of the china used by the Lincolns, as well.
