US President Donald Trump is in India on his 2-day official visit. During his stay at the Sabarmati Ashram, the President was supposed to be served vegetarian food.
At least this is what the menu for ‘Hi-Tea’ at the ashram suggests. I know it’s high-tea, but right now, you can avoid this, because there are other significant things to focus on.

From serving tetra packs of beverages like coconut water to healthy versions of desi delicacies, Twitter clearly wasn’t pleased with the menu.
even kanjoos-ass uncles have better snack options at their kids' birthday parties and it doesn't cost them literal crores https://t.co/TGaXbjuwAp

the unexpectedly pleasant fallout of this absolutely hideous menu is the thought of Tr*mp working his way thru dip-dip tea, multigrain biscuits and broccoli samosa pic.twitter.com/XxOSF9K3Uy

which kid made this menu ?
— Singha (@heisenjit) February 24, 2020
” live counter tea coffee “
no mention of what type of coffee ?? also broccoli samosa looks like some kinda experiment by farzi cafe kinda vibe https://t.co/gQRWkze6rb
I doubt this unappetizing menu will prompt anyone into giving any kind of deal to India. #broccolisamosa 🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/XhW6oX0Or8

But the one thing Indians hated the most in this menu, is the Broccoli and corn button samosa.

Aloo is sacrosanct to samosa and samosa is sacrosanct to us Indians and we feel violated seeing that broccoli samosa even exists.

Whoever made this menu must hate Trump or else I see no other reason to torture someone in the name of food. https://t.co/KRo7yUuZsf

Broccoli samosa! What a travesty!! pic.twitter.com/ifFUVVAXlW

Tetra pack tender coconut water? And not straight from the coconut? Also, instead of dholka and samosa, pakoda and poha would have been more ‘symbolic’. https://t.co/fAwkra9D5w

Broccoli and corn button samosas! Yuck!

Hi tea & VVIP – typical indian English.
Extra V with VIP probably keeping stature of guest 😊 https://t.co/qFTTqTzxn0

Did you ever have broccoli & corn button samosa ? PHQ & CBI only serve mattar & paneer samosas and aloo samosas

Why people tryna destroy the snacks that I love with weird fusion shit?
Poha & Samosa, I love you both the way you are!#TrumpIndiaVisit #TrumpModiMeet #IndiaWelcomesTrump
Will this samosa be a deal maker or a deal breaker.. 🤔 #broccolisamosa

broccoli samosa sounds terrible. i wouldn’t even have cauliflower samosa 🙂

Please tell me a copy editor looked at this and changed ‘Hi tea’ to ‘High tea’ before it was finalized. This is hurting as bad as that broccoli samosa is going to hurt Trump. https://t.co/qsQdUo6p1g
— Sayantan Ghosh (@sayantansunnyg) February 24, 2020
The only dampener of the @realDonaldTrump visit is that he will be fed broccoli samosas. Samosas across the world must be dying of shame. Like there’s no BIHAR without Lalu, there’s no samosa without Aloo. @USAmbIndia

i want to meet the person who thought up a Broccoli and Corn samosa … just to ask ‘kya soch ke yeh banaya’ …

( and, what is wrong with serving the ordinary potato samosa) 😀
Broccoli Samosa?

When Modi goes to the US, he will be served Methi Aalu Burger.#TrumpInIndia
I have a very bad feeling about the broccolian corn samosa. It’s a risk we should never have taken. #TrumpInIndia

I am sorry to entire humanity for the broccoli samosa on Trump’s menu.

A broccoli samosa cannot be samosa. It’s just fried salad.
You can ruin anything just by putting broccoli in it.#TrumpInIndia pic.twitter.com/5iojv6vBTi
Ab jab samose mein aloo hi nahin raha, my trust in humanity has been shaken.
