In honor of President's Day I found some of the favorite meals of past presidents some are kind of odd. Lincoln was a fan of possum dip,while Eisenhower was a squirrel meat man. FDR enjoyed buffalo tongue as an appetizer and his wife once served hot dogs at a state dinner. Teddy Roosevelt went for elephant heart toasted on a stick though he was odd in that he claimed a love for animals he also loved killing them on big game hunting trips and once killed 500 wild animals in Africa. Woodrow Wilson was a picky eater and preferred plain foods. Both Nixon and his wife ate mass quantities of cottage cheese but both enjoyed adult beverages. The Kennedys were considered epicures and even employed a French chef. Howard Taft's favorite food was roasted possum and he liked to start the day with a hearty breakfast of a 12 oz steak,2 oranges,toast or waffles,coffee and a haunch of venison. No I haven't a clue how to make possum dip,nor do I want to know!
