Entry#8 Favorite Foods of the Presidents

1.George Washington reportedly enjoyed fish and ice cream. Not sure if that meant together or in succession, but man he would have eaten the shit out of some Phish Food. Dude was a hemp farmer, am I right? Munch on, Wash.

2. John Adams: Indian pudding.

3. Thomas Jefferson: Ice cream.

4. James Madison: Ice cream. Which apparently is all the White House had between 1789 and 1817...

5. James Monroe: Fried chicken.

6. John Quincy Adams: Fresh fruit.

7. Andrew Jackson: French food.

8. Martin Van Buren: All we could find was "oysters and donuts." WOW. Did Imodium exist back then?

9. William Henry Harrison: SQUIRREL STEW.

​

10. John Tyler: Pudding. (What is with these dudes and desserts?)

11. James K Polk: Corn pone. You try to say that without laughing. 

12. Zachary Taylor: Creole food. Spicy dude. 

13. Millard Fillmore: The owner of the first iron stove ... and he requested soup. 

14. Franklin Pierce: Fried clams.

15. James Buchanan: Fresh butter. Really? Are you related to the Deen family?

16. Abraham Lincoln, our tall-hatted friend to the people, liked a hot plate of Chicken Fricassee and Herbed Biscuits. What a snoot. Eh well, his beard was excellent.

​

17. Andrew Johnson: Popcorn.

18. No idea what Ulysses S. Grant liked, but he was a huge guy, so we're guessing he got down with a Baconator from time to time. They had those in 1869, right? Wait, was Dave Thomas ever a president? 

19.Rutherford B. Hayes was a simpleton and enjoyed something called Delicate Cornmeal Battercakes. Which is probably just a 19th century version of pancakes, and probably tasted like crap. So head on down to IHOP, get down on some nasty pancakes, and live like ol' President Hayes.

​

20. James Garfield, the one with the beard of presidential beards, wins the most random favorite food award in the history of ever: squirrel soup. I refuse to look up pictures of this so we're just telling ourselves he liked lasagna.

​

21. Chester Alan Arthur: Mutton Chop with a nice, tall glass of ale. What a stud.
22. Grover Cleveland: Corned Beef and Cabbage.
23. Benjamin Harrison: Blue-Point Oysters.  I approve of this.
24. Grover Cleveland: Waaaaait a second! That guy got re-elected? Mutton chop guy?
25. William McKinley: Eggs. Wow. What a riveting human.

​26. Apparently the first Roosevelt habitually put his big stick down long enough to shove a plate of fried chicken and gravy into his head. Nothing wrong with that, Teddy. 'Merica.


​

27. Remember when Taft got stuck in his bathtub? Neither do we. Enjoy that KFC Double Down, bro. 

​
28. Woodrow Wilson: Ham and Fruit Cobbler.

29. Warren G. Harding: Chicken Pot Pie. Also, that "G" stands for Gamaliel. For real.
30. Calvin Coolidge: Pickles.
31. Herbert Clark Hoover: Corn soup.
32. The second Roosevelt made equally greasy food choices and was a fan of a gooey grilled cheese. Well the who the hell isn't? What a sloppy drunk. Approved.

33. Harry S. Truman: Fried chicken. Our kind of dude.
34. Dwight D. Eisenhower: Wait for it....TV DINNERS. Like straight up Hungry Man dinners. GROSS
35. John F. Kennedy. The reason those creepy dudes in Kangol hats pass out homemade fliers in Dealey Plaza and try to touch your ass for the sake of education. Anyway, he liked the Clam Chowda. Wicked surprise!

​



​36. LBJ, the scourge of hippies everywhere, was a fan of baked sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping. Awesome. I bet Thanksgiving at the White House also featured rolls from Luby's and a sixer of Schlitz. Gross.

​37. Richard Nixon: Meatloaf. We would do anything for dinner, Dick, but we won't do that.

38. Gerald Ford: Waffles with strawberries. 

39. Jimmy Carter: Red beans and rice.

40. Ronald Reagan: Macaroni and cheese. Apparently there are Reagan recipes out there. Just add bacon.

41. George H.W. Bush: Bush Sr. hated broccoli. With the fire of Hades, he hated the broccoli. 

 

42. ​Bill Clinton. Slick Willy. Bubba. Cheeseburger Bill. He loved the Mickey D's. AND THEN HE HAD A QUADRUPLE BYPASS.

​

43. George W. Bush was a pretzel man. Not really going to say anything else since he lives here. Try the white fudge Flipz, Dubya. They're righteous when you're um, bored.

 
​ 44. Obama apparently is a huge fan of Hawaiian style pizza. I'm going to  pretend we didn't know that, Barry.

Entry #7 Food Inc.

Food Inc. was a very interesting documentary, and informational. The images provided in the film based on the treatment of the animals were cruel. Even though, I wasn’t surprised, it still was hurtful to watch. Knowing the Federal Government is involved, isn’t surprising as well. What does shock me is the lack of involvement from Americans. We control the Federal Government, we as Americans hold the power, but many are unaware of this. Since, Americans aren’t showing power against the Federal Government, that’s no surprise that big business is involved. Since big business are involved, it prevents a lot of, legislation like Kevin’s’ Law from being passed. I was unaware of the use of corn. It was an eye opener, I thought it was just the steroids in the foods, but apparently not. People should care or at least consider what’s going on in the food industry, but it honesty doesn’t matter. Americans will still eat the unhealthy food being because it is cheaper compared other foods.
