Richard Nixon: Known to love fresh yogurt for breakfast (flown in daily from California), adorned with a splash of ketchup.
Gerald Ford: Pot roast, red cabbage, butter-pecan ice cream.
Jimmy Carter: Cornbread, sirloin steak (medium-rare), special White House cookie made with pecans and peanuts.
Ronald Reagan: Jelly beans, pumpkin-pecan pie, monkey bread, ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate-chip cookies, fudge brownies.
George H.W. Bush: Known more for his dislike of broccoli and preference for hot sauce.
William Clinton: McDonalds burgers, steak, onion rings.
George W. Bush: Tex-mex and beef tenderloin.

The list of presidents only includes those who have held office during my lifetime. I was born about nine months after John F. Kennedy was elected.
Happy Presidents Day!
