Kate Middleton vs. Kim Kardashian: The Wedding Menu Competition!

File:Kate Middleton in bridal gown.jpgKim Kardashian may have boasted her own mini "royal wedding" last Saturday, but it was far different from Kate Middleton and Prince William's regal affair in England—although there were plenty of photo-ready moments to go around at both. Kardashian opted for a lavish Montecito, California, estate, but for Middleton it was Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Vera Wang dressed the Keeping Up With The Kardashians diva, while the Duchess of Cambridge walked down the aisle in Alexander McQueen.

Another major difference between Kardashian and Middleton's "I do's"? The food! Yes, the wedding menus.

Hollywood Life has highlighted the food fight and, from the gossip site's report, there is a clear victor: Kate Middleton and Prince William's bill of fare crushes that of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. It seems not all British food is bad after all.

File:Kim Kardashian 2009.jpgPrince William and Kate Middleton had quite the epicurean spread for their wedding guests, which included more than 14 types of gourmet canapes (think pressed duck terrine with fruit chutney, Scottish smoked salmon rose on beet root blini, miniature Yorkshire pudding with roast filet of beef and horseradish mousse, and roulade of goat cheese with caramelized walnuts). Plus, there were desserts galore the likes of raspberry financier, passionfruit praline, white chocolate and dark chocolate ganache truffles, and rhubarb crème brûlée tartlet. Talk about a sugar rush!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' wedding day eats somewhat paled in comparison with simple items like salad, heirloom tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, pasta as a second course, an entrée of roasted chicken, and only wedding cake for dessert. Wolfgang Puck (K.K.'s caterer) definitely kept things basic.

But, it seems like the menu might have been a bit more inspired, especially from the chef who does the Oscars! There was certainly no award-winning cuisine that night. No matter, the extravagance of the rest of the wedding no doubt more than made up for it.
