Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has overseen the Met Gala since 1995, personally approves not only the list of guests and their outfits, but also the food that guests will be treated to. This year, Wintour banned serving three foods: garlic, onions, and green onions. "Those are three things I don't particularly like," she told Jenna Bush Hager.
Also, Wintour has a long-standing ban on parsley because it can easily get stuck in the teeth, and on bruschetta because it can ruin someone's outfit.
This year's super-secret menu from caterer Olivier Cheng was created to make the food "a little romantic and ethereal, but at the same time focusing on the best seasonal ingredients," he told Vogue. “Taking inspiration from the lush gardens and palaces of the fantasy world of Sleeping Beauty, we really aimed to create our own piece-sized fairytale.”
And here's what guests were treated to this year:
A spring vegetable salad with elderflower foam, raspberry vinaigrette and olive crumble was the first course, meant to evoke soil, and topped with garden-worthy butterfly croutons.
The main event was the beef fillet topped with rose tortellini.
As for dessert, it was a “not-so-poisonous apple—a flavorful nod to the famous fairytale moment from Snow White,” Vogue reported. It included "an almond creme shaped like a miniature apple, covered in a bright red mirror glaze and finished off on a walnut-flavored 'leaf.'"
