Here let me fix that for you. Obama really loved steak, more specifically Tube steak, or better known as sausage. His favorite sausage was made from a snake, Alabama Black Snake.
I think if people ate more like they did back in the old days, the basic roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, stews, and that sort of filling meal they would feel fuller and probably eat less and be thinner
It was all whole foods, no additive, and the soil was still full of healthful minerals. All fresh from the garden, farm, or land. Most people only ate two meals a day and almost nobody snacked. No labor saving devices, walking or maybe riding meant a lot of exercise. I think you are right; we'd be healthier and thinner if we ate like that still.
I have been fasting all day, it’s 10:30 pm now, I can often go the entire day and go to bed but I’m not going to make it. Right now I’m making turnip green soup. Brown a beef shank Add water and cook until tender Add turnip greens, cubed potatoes, I also add a few diced carrots and Lima beans. Pour over French bread, we also often add Apple Vidal vinegar to our bowl of soup
I still eat like that, am 69 and at 6'1" weigh 160. Take-out foods aren't like that at all; they're loaded with sugar and packet mixes, hyper-salty bottled salad dressings etc. and are way too meat-heavy with few good vegs.
Jefferson's cook didn't just "dabble" in French cooking, he was a professional chef trained in Paris--and a slave!!! James, Sally Hemming's brother, became a professional chef in America, too, despite his humble beginnings. Give a guy some credit, why don't you?
Kennedy’s favourite place for chowder was Mildred’s Chowder House near the Hyannis Barnstable Airport. In the ‘80s, being a pilot, I flew to Hyannis, specifically, to pick up a bunch of Mildred’s famous Clam Chowder for parties. Unfortunately, Mildred’s is no longer.😩. Gone is an era.

Food is total preference. I have to align with Teddy Roosevelt when it comes to fried chicken. I could eat it cold and hot. But now that I'm older it's become a treat for rare occasions. Not by choice though! Oh to be young again. 😊
I really liked seeing the favorite foods and snacks of the USA 🇺🇸 President's over the year's and very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing your video and God Bless You!!! 🙏😍🇵🇭
I can totally agree with sauerkraut with or without knockwurst, corned beef and cabbage or a good vegetable filled stew. How can you go wrong? Makes me hungry.
Harding died from a heart attack, supposedly while making love to his mistress. Perhaps he shoulda skipped a few knockwursts and just stuck with the kraut.
There's a way to use the jarred/canned 'kraut to yield a !!! dish: Braise onions in butter, add drained 'kraut and stir around a bit. Oh, your seeds of choice. Add chicken or beef or ? stock and simmer ..
I have a copy of, “Walter Jettson’s LBJ Barbecue Cook Book.” Jettson was LBJ’s caterer. Published in 1965, it belonged to my father who was a grill master.
I’m going through my mother’s things and I found this book. She probably had 50 cookbooks, but this one drew me in. I’ve cooked several things in it and they are great.
"Resurrection Pie" is actually what you do with the week's leftovers--you put them in a pie with lots of pepper (the picture shown is of the Italian Easter pie).
Washington loved smallmouth bass. A family member was one of his Lifeguards and especially during their time in Pennsylvania, he would constantly fish for smallmouth bass and eat them. There's a section in his diary about fishing on Darby Creek and eating smallmouth together. Obviously, he wasn't president yet, but the man loved to fish, and loved to eat smallies.

I grew up in southern Maine, we always had "New England Boiled Dinner" every Sunday, and several evening hashes during the week. In the Army I was station in Japan where the "Best Mess" in the Army had grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast, which I did everyday for years. Now days I have squirrel often.
My Husband was born in Springfield, Mass so he was familar with boiled dinners. We met early 1971,then married and he hasn't had a boiled dinner since before we met. I am from southern Louisiana> we DO NOT do boiled anything except for crawfish/crayfish, shrimp & crabs and maybe corn on the cob and potatoes for mashed potatoes. !!!

@@amyisrael7718they never had a dry aged Virginia ham I’m sure, and they called someone from Virginia a Yankee😂 Richmond was the capitol of the confederacy
Thanks, fascinating! I still make some of these iconic dishes like New England Boiled Dinner and JFK's fish chowder and love potatoes as well. I'm a Yankee New Englander whose forebears came here in 1648 from England and 1721 from Scotland and landed in Portsmouth NH! Also have summered on the Cape since the 1950s and spent summers in my late grandmother's house built in 1776 and lived on the Cape recently for 36 years! We still have many British customs here, most of the towns and cities are named after the ones in the UK and have many great restaurants and pubs that make authentic British fare and Irish as well. They don't call it New ENGLAND for nothing! On my paternal side it's the Pennsylvania Dutch noted for their great food who fed the troops at Valley Forge. Ancestors came here in 1738, three of them generals in the Revolutionary War, per a genealogist who did our family history in 1940. Cornbread which I also make is New England, Penn. Dutch and Southern. I use the recipe from Durgin Park restaurant opened in 1827, now sadly closed! smdh My late grandmother used to win Blue Ribbons for her baking, Shoofly pies and homemade donuts that put Dunkins to shame! And we also ate corn fritters as well as apple fritters! Some of the best food I ever had was at the historic taverns at Williamsburg, VA, their Smithfield ham is the best! Also their peanut soup! Bought the Williamsburg cookbook and also have the Kennedy Compound cookbook, great recipes! But we're quite diverse in New England and have restaurants that serve great food from all over the world, so I've also eaten Ethiopian, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, French Cambodian, etc. most in Cambridge and Somerville, MA and Southern NH! Thankfully, we can travel the world that way now, diversity rules and great food unites us all! Cheers~♥💙🍺🍺
As an adult I can eat whatever I want. But I, too, love the simple hearty foods such as burgers, big meatball pastas, fish and chips, french fries. Something magical about simple foods.
As Jefferson was probably our smartest, Teddy was the biggest bad ass., taking a bullet and finishing his speech. Roaming every jungle and forest with a wanderlust like a Viking.
Much enjoyed this UA-cam about our American presidents favorite foods. It is interesting to see their, go to meals, that gives them, the energy, and nutrition to make important decisions for our country. Anthony Joseph Lucchese
I grew up in Kentucky and remember eating alot of fried squirrels.. in February we didn't eat rabbit due to a disease they carried that month February ... the men folk eat the barbecue raccoon the women and girls didn't get much of it... I don't know why... we ate quail and pheasants too
My grandson inhales cottage cheese….even though it’s loaded with sodium. After my heart surgery the nutritionist said no more…🥲 cottage cheese with peaches on top or pineapple is delicious
One of my all times favorites is my husband’s homemade Mexican salsa over cottage cheese with tortilla chips! Yum! Don’t make fun of it until you try it! The dairy calms the heat from the Serrano peppers!
Trust me on this - search youtube for Jasmine's Cornbread. Although i don't use quite as much honey and butter, it is HANDS DOWN the BEST cornbread you will ever lay your lips on!!!!
A friend of mine used to be Asst Executive Chef at The Hunt Building restaurant in Dallas. W Bush would have lunch once or twice a week with Mr Hunt and always order Chicken Enchiladas.
Spoonbread is cornmeal soufflé made with half a dozen eggs, whites separated and whipped. It’s delicate and light. Lots of Southern dishes here. Ham, cornbread, spoonbread, cheesy grits.
I love how Reagan said you can tell a lot about a person by the way they eat jelly beans. Either by picking them one at a time or a handfull. Always found it interesting.
Politicking and traveling probably got them served all kinds of fancy stuff, so between that and just being very busy most of the time, preferring simple, familiar foods makes sense.
My late father-in-law began hunting squirrel as an 8 yo, which would've been 1946, and did so until sometime in the late 1960s when 60-80 hr weeks in a management position got in the way of hunting squirrel on his 16 acre ranch. But he always hunted deer, elk, pigs, and bear in season. He said he loved squirrel skewered over an open flame the best and would eat as many as a dozen at once I've never been tempted, but maybe now. This show has piqued my interest.
@@denicesanders4586 🤣🤣🤣 EXACTLY! The squirrels that he hunted and ate were actually ground dwellers, residing near the roots rather than in the treetops. I've always thought tree squirrels looked cleaner and hence more appetizing. However, squirrel has never been on my menu. Be he came from a generation where anything that you shot, you ate. When young, he also hunted dove, quail, and rabbit, but he used his youth-sized .410 shotgun, with birdshot, for that job - those Jackrabbits were tough to hit with his bolt-action. 22.
I can confirm squirrel is delicious. Before I knew better as a little kid I loved it. Sounds gross but now I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole! It was delicious however.
Let's remember James Madison was married to Dolly, and she was well known for her cooking. Love the "Madison Cakes." A potato bread roll served with a cup of beef broth.
Much of the down-home (read “peasant”)food was and is the same. Early Americans emigrated from the South across the rest of the country as it grew. They cooked like their immigrant parents and grandparents from various European countries cooked and each generation taught the next. Regional differences are based on what was available where they lived, but the basic recipes and cooking-styles were the same.
I grew up on New England Boiled. Beef Dinners, and Ho Cakes. Also huge amounts of home grown fruits and vegetables. Also, squirrel sterling or fried squirrel parts. Living in the rural US. Not fancy but nourishing. Combination of British English and German cooking.
Theres no way I would ever eat squirrel stew or turtle steak!! Maybe at that time turtle steak = a prime cut of steak, but that’s still something I wouldn’t consider even ordering!!
Brunswick stew is oft made with squirrel ! Classic ! Wimps won't ear it nowadays unless they are shaped like little dinosaurs and are called " nuggets"!
Squirrel stew is very good. It takes a bunch, but they are easy to find and kill. I grew up very poor. Food was something you had to work for in the garden, on the land, and in the water. If you’ve never had something …. That said I’d never eat turtle, ever.

But we're quite diverse in New England and have restaurants that serve great food from all over the world, so I've also eaten Ethiopian, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, French Cambodian, etc. most in Cambridge and Somerville, MA and Southern NH! Thankfully, we can travel the world that way now, diversity rules and great food unites us all! Cheers~♥💙🍺🍺
That’s Awesome 👏
Wow, that’s a mouth full! 😂
As an adult I can eat whatever I want. But I, too, love the simple hearty foods such as burgers, big meatball pastas, fish and chips, french fries. Something magical about simple foods.
Teddy Roosevelt also drank a gallon of coffee every day.
That's why he was so energetic
So
Sounds like me
As Jefferson was probably our smartest, Teddy was the biggest bad ass., taking a bullet and finishing his speech. Roaming every jungle and forest with a wanderlust like a Viking.
@@Oran-35 - ya, he also made most of our national parks. I doubt we will ever see a president like him again.
Much enjoyed this UA-cam about our American presidents favorite foods. It is interesting to see their, go to meals, that gives them, the energy, and nutrition to make important decisions for our country.

Um.. we still have squirrel when in season. It's right up there with rabbit and deer!
Yep I’m from Louisiana a and people eat what we call a squirrel mulligan which is a stew
Great video !
This is making me hungry,
George Washington and Ronald Reagan are my favorites!!!!
"Despite what you may think, even Presidents need to eat."
*WHAT? No way!*
I like saukraut, but my favorite fermented cabbage is Kimche . . . .
😋
I wanna eat some so bad
@@WatchingyouWatchingme-p5shave you tried kimchi? It’s really good
@@everydayinthebay3917 noo but I want to try it so bad
I grew up in Kentucky and remember eating alot of fried squirrels.. in February we didn't eat rabbit due to a disease they carried that month February ... the men folk eat the barbecue raccoon the women and girls didn't get much of it... I don't know why... we ate quail and pheasants too
You forgot the ketchup that Richard Nixon liked with his cottage cheese!!! (Yes, really! It made the news back in the day....)
Ketchup, the superfood of the 70's.
I believe that was Gerald Ford.
My grandson inhales cottage cheese….even though it’s loaded with sodium. After my heart surgery the nutritionist said no more…🥲 cottage cheese with peaches on top or pineapple is delicious
@@marysivak6255 ..... Nectarines as well. Idk why CC needs so much salt at all---I end up thirsty for hours afterwards.
One of my all times favorites is my husband’s homemade Mexican salsa over cottage cheese with tortilla chips! Yum! Don’t make fun of it until you try it! The dairy calms the heat from the Serrano peppers!
We felt hungry and wanted to eat after this video.👍🌹👏😋
Virginia Spoon bread😋🤤❤
Trust me on this - search youtube for Jasmine's Cornbread. Although i don't use quite as much honey and butter, it is HANDS DOWN the BEST cornbread you will ever lay your lips on!!!!
A friend of mine used to be Asst Executive Chef at The Hunt Building restaurant in Dallas. W Bush would have lunch once or twice a week with Mr Hunt and always order Chicken Enchiladas.
Lincoln's favorite is Chicken Fricassee with Biscuits
Thank you for keeping politics out of it - very, very rare these days and it made a great video even more enjoyable.
Pretty certain Lincoln's fave dish was chicken fricassee.
Yes, that's my understanding as well. I thought that this was fairly well known.
And bacon.
Spoonbread is cornmeal soufflé made with half a dozen eggs, whites separated and whipped. It’s delicate and light. Lots of Southern dishes here. Ham, cornbread, spoonbread, cheesy grits.
I love how Reagan said you can tell a lot about a person by the way they eat jelly beans. Either by picking them one at a time or a handfull. Always found it interesting.
So interesting that most Presidents loved the food from their local areas.
Politicking and traveling probably got them served all kinds of fancy stuff, so between that and just being very busy most of the time, preferring simple, familiar foods makes sense.
Like most everyone
And
Nice to know. Thank you.
Hoppin’ John!
Squirrel stew is still eaten in the USA it never became obsolete.
Uh, not widely!! "the USA" infers all over the country, and I doubt it's eaten anywhere but more rural areas, esp the south.
My late father-in-law began hunting squirrel as an 8 yo, which would've been 1946, and did so until sometime in the late 1960s when 60-80 hr weeks in a management position got in the way of hunting squirrel on his 16 acre ranch. But he always hunted deer, elk, pigs, and bear in season. He said he loved squirrel skewered over an open flame the best and would eat as many as a dozen at once I've never been tempted, but maybe now. This show has piqued my interest.
Never been tempted to eat lawn rats.
@@denicesanders4586 🤣🤣🤣 EXACTLY! The squirrels that he hunted and ate were actually ground dwellers, residing near the roots rather than in the treetops. I've always thought tree squirrels looked cleaner and hence more appetizing. However, squirrel has never been on my menu. Be he came from a generation where anything that you shot, you ate. When young, he also hunted dove, quail, and rabbit, but he used his youth-sized .410 shotgun, with birdshot, for that job - those Jackrabbits were tough to hit with his bolt-action. 22.
@@denicesanders4586I have. They can get to be really destructive.
great idea
Macaroni and chili with toasted garlic bread is good.
Very interesting!
Kennedy loved clam chowda.
Yep, I can see how JFK loved some Clam.
White chowder!
So did Diamond Joe Quimby, and his nephew Freddy
I thought the potato beet mixture was really surprising, but highly nutritious
I think it sounds nice, actually. Never heard of it before.
Watching this video has made me very hungry!!
I can confirm squirrel is delicious. Before I knew better as a little kid I loved it. Sounds gross but now I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole! It was delicious however.
Interesting fun post
Very interesting video!
Let's remember James Madison was married to Dolly, and she was well known for her cooking. Love the "Madison Cakes." A potato bread roll served with a cup of beef broth.
Garfield may have had a southern palate but he was born and raised in Ohio
Much of the down-home (read “peasant”)food was and is the same. Early Americans emigrated from the South across the rest of the country as it grew. They cooked like their immigrant parents and grandparents from various European countries cooked and each generation taught the next. Regional differences are based on what was available where they lived, but the basic recipes and cooking-styles were the same.
I grew up on New England Boiled. Beef Dinners, and Ho Cakes. Also huge amounts of home grown fruits and vegetables. Also, squirrel sterling or fried squirrel parts. Living in the rural US. Not fancy but nourishing. Combination of British English and German cooking.
It would be helpful to offer us the recipes
Stop being lazy. Use google
So interesting!
I love red cabbage.
"I love corn!" - Rutherford B. Hayes...probably
I remember hearing that LBJ would take a steak and throw it directly on a wood fire. (So I guess he liked that charcoal taste.)
Cool video
Theres no way I would ever eat squirrel stew or turtle steak!! Maybe at that time turtle steak = a prime cut of steak, but that’s still something I wouldn’t consider even ordering!!
Brunswick stew is oft made with squirrel ! Classic ! Wimps won't ear it nowadays unless they are shaped like little dinosaurs and are called " nuggets"!
They also used to eat swans and peacocks back then. I have eaten a lot of different animals, but never squirrel.
Squirrel stew is very good. It takes a bunch, but they are easy to find and kill. I grew up very poor. Food was something you had to work for in the garden, on the land, and in the water. If you’ve never had something …. That said I’d never eat turtle, ever.
"Despite what you might think, even Presidents need to eat..." lol
Poor little squirrels! And turtles that’s a crime
No it was food
No more criminal than eating chicken and fish
Or beef
Certainly not illegal back then. People grew up eating what was available, not wrapped under cellophane that people have grown accustomed to now.
@@maggiemagoon9496 That's the way GID intended it to be
Theodore Roosevelt,FDR & Jimmy Carter.
If I was president my favorite meal would be Fettuccine pasta with a glass of red wine and a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
Fannie Daddies
Are a fried clam pastry
We Nigerians call it chin chin. Fried dough mixed with sugar, vanilla extract, and sometimes cinnamon
