Bittersweet Karma Cookies
I assume it will be French Service
edit: just realized it will be a buffet (aka pig trough), perhaps the French Service will be available later in the evening
If this isn't a joke, then they have some big, big balls if this is indeed the menu.
I figured it was a joke.
No Big Macs? And you call that a party? :)
"How can you have a successful business without malt liquor?"
A disciple of the Billy Dee Williams Skool of Business I see...
"Bittersweet Karma Cookies"
Would that the Karma were sudden and real . . .
Great menu!
Please do not forget Baby Octopus and Squid with Baby Bok Choy in a red pepper sauce appetizer
I dunno, vampire-squid and bank-choy in red line sauce always burns my ass on the way out...
Squid-ink pasta - oh, this is France.
Don't forget the amuse bouse ...
A single satiny pillow of ravioli plumped full of shredded 100 dollar bills that depreciate in your mouth sautéed in the blood of the common man.
Yes, it sure will be amuse-bouche with the all the Grand-Sized Profitable Balls - er, Profiterole Balls, walking around.
I'll just take the Devilled-Eggs and wash it down with Holy freaking water. Nothing like a douche after time spent with the Devil.
Okay, someone must have bet Blankfein a Maybach to say he was doing God's work - they've got freaking Fish & Loaves!
Amuse bouche? Or did you mean Abuse Muse also known as our beloved greenback?
Are they renting Versailles or did they already buy it?
They rent with an option to buy... I'm sure the parade down the Rue de Rivoli will be spectacular.
I love how they believe in 'sustainably caught' fish. Where I live, more and more people are fishing in the dirty ditch banks so they don't go to bed hungry.
What time should I arrive?
They forgot Soylent Green
Less subtle when you arrive. More like V. Once it's time for the Main Course it's help yourself:
I bet they run out of blood sausage.
All this with a happy ending massage downstairs.
Just released - Ben Bernanke will be attending as a guest of honor and will be wearing the following attire at the event:

Gimme six Shiltz'....
Ok... whatevers free.
...and for her those with the most discriminating of tastes if her ladies and his gentlemens please they may select from the choicest of hearts from the many victims of thy years feast at the table of thy bounty...

mmmm, I wish god loved me...
Shark Fins - Lovely.
Catch a live shark, slice off the dorsal fin, and throw the the shark back in to suffer and die.
Good choice Goldman. Better hope it doesnt leak to the larger press. Maybe the choice is a not too subtle "in your face" message to the rest of us.
you have way too much time on your hands. go find a better hobby
See everyone? GS does read ZH!
This is a joke.
Someone just wants to see if we're paying attention:

Prepared by bankers, for bankers, or from banksterz?
This is pretty brilliant.
Tyco paid $1 million (half the 2 million bill) for the 40th birthday party of Kozlowski's second wife, Karen M. Kozlowski. The extravagant party, held on the Italian island of Sardinia, featured an ice sculpture of the Statue of David urinating Stolichnaya vodka. This birthday bash was disguised as a shareholder meeting in order to get corporate funding.

Lloyd said that the Kozlowski party with the Ice Sculpture was a $2 million ticky tacky event.

I just put food on the CC last week for the first time ever, think if I stood outside I might get a dogie bag for my troubles?
Who cares? What do you think guys like dr doom and such eat? Taco bell?
Who cares? It's your money. I would.
They are thieves, pure and simple, aided and abetted by the evil and the stupid.
No vegetarian or vegan options? but of course this is the Super blood sucking Carnivorous Squid they are catering for...
surprised they don't have a feast of black puddings listed!!
Here is the recipe for you GS.. I know you will love it
1lt (1¾ pints) Blood (Pig, Lamb or Goose)
340g (12oz) Shredded Suet
300ml (½ pint) Milk
50g (2oz) Oatmeal
3 Medium Onions, chopped
1 tbsp Salt
½ tsp Mixed Herbs
½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
Pinch Nutmeg
Pre-heat oven to 160°C: 300°F: Gas 2.
Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly, making sure that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Next fill the large sausage cases
Place into an ovenproof dish with a cover, standing in a larger dish half filled with water.
Bake for 1½ hours.
Allow to cool.
Time, Date, and Location Please.
I think there are about 300+ million Americans who would love to come to a shindig like this.
I see there's no option for Chinese either.
After dinner Lloyd Blankfein will bite the head off a live chicken and perform human sacrifice on ten randomly selected plebs yanked off the nearest subway car.
And then sing "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Crazy Train".
The evening will begin with a toast a la bete noire, Henri.
Quoi? No fois gras ou steak tartar?
Alors, tres bien fait.
"American Sponge-Drops"
says it all
I could barely make it out...but, there at the bottom it says "Please do not tip the wait staff!"
Thanks for the laugh, I need this today! Who are the party crashers?
I've got a flight to Bilbao. We're bringing the special sauce, Euskadi style.
Sharkfin soup. A chinese delicacy that seem to always taste like shit to me. But it is appropriate for GS to have it on the menu. Oh, and it is wildly expensive.
They deserve it!
Don't they?
Here's a clip from last year's gala event. Oh the fun we had!

I'll pass on the Couilles Brasse. I've already got the biggest pair you've ever seen right here.
It took me a moment!
Just their menu suggests why these stooges have to pack.
They obviously can't take a punch.
Ah, a feast for the Gods! (Since they are doing god's work after all)
