Fried food back on the table at Democrat convention

Rest assured: Chicken tenders and doughnuts will make appearances at the Democratic National Convention.

In the midst of media mockery and embarrassment among national Democrats that Denver had declared fried foods a party foul and had ordered multihued entrees, the Denver host committee has softened an original document that called for caterers to be “lean and green.”

National convention spokeswoman Natalie Wyeth was more blunt with the host group’s early efforts to be healthy. “I think putting rules in place regarding the colors of food . . . is a bit over the top,” she said. “We’re offering a full range of choices . . . French fries, chicken tenders, and fish and chips.”

The changes come too late for a bevy of caterers who have already spent dozens of hours crafting menus that fit with the host committee’s initial desires.

At a national media gathering Tuesday, public-affairs chief Jenni Engebret sen told reporters that there would be plenty of the unhealthy stuff to go around.

And when reporters entered the Pepsi Center, committee staffers were pushing Lamar’s “fried” doughnuts.

Somewhere, Bill Clinton is breathing a big sign of relief.
