Squirrel stew, jelly beans, and hoecakes: Here are some of the favorite foods of the presidents | E-Neighborhood Advisor

This November when we’re thinking about all things presidential, Business Insider has shared the favorite foods of all of the presidents. Presidents have hundreds of staff members to cater to their every whim during their time in the White House. Though the Executive Mansion hosts some of the country's most exclusive and upscale dinners, each president has different tastes for their everyday fuel.  From squirrel stew to cheeseburger pizza, here are some of the most unusual favorites. You can read the whole list here: https://www.businessinsider.com/presidents-favorite-food-dishes-white-house-2019-5#donald-trump-fast-food-44 Thomas Jefferson: Mac and cheese Jefferson discovered macaroni during his European travels and is credited with popularizing the food in the U.S. after he brought a machine for making the pasta back from Naples, Italy. Andrew Jackson: Leather britches Jackson's favorite dish has nothing to do with sturdy pants but is a term for green beans cooked with bacon.  Martin van Buren: Oysters The half-shell snack was just one of van Buren's favorite foods, in addition to doughnuts, raisins, figs, and meat.  William Henry Harrison: Squirrel stew Harrison's proclivity for nature might have contributed to his taste for squirrel, which was a common protein at the time in a variety of dishes. Andrew Johnson: Hoppin' John Southerner Johnson's comfort-food favorite is made with black-eyed peas, rice, chopped onion, sliced bacon, and salt.  James Garfield: Squirrel soup Garfield was the second president to count squirrel as one of his favorite meals, which is nearly unheard of today.  Grover Cleveland: Pickled herring Cleveland was a bachelor when he entered the White House in 1884 and told a friend he wished he could pass up the luxurious meals for "pickled herring, a Swiss cheese, and a chop instead of the French stuff." Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Grilled cheese According to Henrietta Nesbitt, Roosevelt's White House housekeeper, FDR loved grilled cheese sandwiches in addition to other classic American foods, including scrambled eggs, fish chowder, hot dogs, and fruitcake. Richard Nixon: Cottage cheese and ketchup Nixon's unusual favorite of cottage cheese and ketchup would raise eyebrows any time of day, but the president especially liked it for breakfast.  Ronald Reagan: Jelly beans Reagan was obsessed with the colorful snack, and at one point reportedly ordered more than 300,000 to be placed around the Capitol, White House, and other federal buildings each month.  George H.W. Bush: Pork rinds The president reportedly caused sales of the snack to skyrocket while he was on the campaign trail and identified them as his favorite, particularly when they were topped with Tabasco.  George W. Bush: Cheeseburger pizza Former White House Chef Cristeta Comerford told reporters after the president left office that Bush loved what staff called "home-made 'cheeseburger pizzas' because every ingredient of a cheeseburger is on top of a margherita pizza." Barack Obama: Nachos The former president told comedian Jerry Seinfeld that nachos were one of his greatest vices. Donald Trump: Fast food Trump has a well-documented affection for fast food. From serving it in the White House to getting it delivered to his private plane, the president has said Burger King and McDonald's are among his favorites because they promise a standard of cleanliness that's hard to verify at other restaurants.
