Obama gives Cameron a charcoal grill

WASHINGTON, March 14 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama presented British Prime Minister David Cameron with a charcoal grill, the White House said Wednesday.

The White House said the president gave the prime minister a Braten 1000 Series Grill made by Engelbrecht Grills and Cookers of Paxton, Ill., to commemorate the president and first lady's trip to London last May, where the Camerons held a cookout for U.S. and British troops.

The grill is customized with U.S. and British friendship flags engraved into the utility shelf and a personalized plaque mounted on the exterior lid. The gift also includes two personalized White House chef jackets.

First lady Michelle Obama gave Samantha Cameron a crystal vase filled with honey collected from the South Lawn of the White House. Chamomile seeds harvested from the White House kitchen garden and a custom candle also were presented.

The prime minister's children received personalized U.S.-made bean bag chairs, the White House said.
