President Obama's fancy state dinner tonight with Chinese President Hu Jintao will draw partly on the bounty of Ohio's renowned and delicious agriculture.

We're not entirely sure what accent vegetables are, but we're guessing they are the little carrots cut to look like flowers that no one actually eats. We could be wrong though.
