2.13 Menu - Argo

Iranian Hostage Crisis Menu -

Water is a necessity and resembles life for the hostages that survived being captured for 444  days.

Macallan would be used to help calm the nerves of the worrisome hostages while they were behind enemy lines.

Leek soup is easily prepared so it would be used as the appetizer and would help show how little initiative was taken by the captors to ensure enough was being done in order to take of the hostages.

The hamburger is an American favorite and would be served at the dinner party because the hostages were away from some of their favorite American foods for such a long time.
Sangak bread is a typical Iranian side for dishes and would represent the bare minimum of food given to the Americans while they were Held hostage in Iran.

The chocolate cake would be used as dessert and would help to remind the hostages of the food that they were taken away from for 444 days while being held hostage.
