Man, Vlogging through history is my favourite historian YTer along with you. But, I want to know that why you like Grover Cleveland so much, despite of the fact that he was accused for the sex scandal. I still disagree with that 2nd rank, Lincoln could've been there instead. I'll wish to talk about other stuff on President's day
Honestly it really just shows you how American cuisine has changed over time. All the latest presidents love their burgers, lots of the middle presidents loved steak, most of the early presidents liked puddings. It is probably just whatever is popular at the time since that's what a president is ultimately a reflection of
If you realize we are due for a trend. Well over due the joe Biden puts the trend on the max limit. That's 24 years of burgers that's almost breaking the trends.
“If I had a nickel for every president whose favourite food was squirrel soup, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
Back in more poverty days, in rural Arkansas',we hunted squirrels. Roasted and with gravy, they were delicious. Coon, tolerable, possum, yuck. Greasy. That's why the old folk song, "Keep My Skillet Good and Greasy"☺️☺️☺️!!!
You forgot to mention that Millard Fillmore died while eating a bowl of soup after calling it mid. His reported last words were “the soup is palatable.”
It's so bizarre to me that Coolidge's favorite food was Chinese food. Given that the next President after him, Herbert Hoover lived in China for a time, you'd think it would have been him instead.
@@iammrbeat Yeah, Hoover is obviously a failed President, but his life before he became President I found super interesting. Americans hated him, but others in Europe considered him a savior! Weird legacy.
My mind went straight into the gutter at one point. "Rutherford Hayes.. Speaking of special recipes, Hayes loved to eat, more than anything his wife lucy-" I was like " WHOA!! "
I don't know if this has been commented yet, but fun fact: The sole reason for the late President Reagan's love for jellybeans was the fact that he used to be a smoker. So everytime he thought about smoking a cigarette, he'd pop some jellybeans.
@@ottodavis-octane3839 i mean... Sugar is more addictive than cocaine, and sugar is a diabetes cause, which doesn't help the USA's diet being so sugar intensive due to the removal of fats.
@Deadpoppin Actually, they're right. Studies have proven that sugar is waaaay more addictive than cocaine and other drugs. Sugar is literally more addictive than most opiod based drugs.
There’s something so charming about hearing each president’s favorite foods. While I believe that public officials should be held at the highest level of scrutiny, I can’t help but think it’s so cute that Jefferson ate Mac n Cheese. Or when Biden said “I just love Ice Cream.” It’s so real and affirming that yes these are people! Of course we should still criticize our former and current heads of state, but just for a for moment, let’s all just appreciate this video for how it humanizes these figures in a way I’ve never seen explored before. We can put all our politics aside and just all hate that Nixon ate Cottage Cheese and Ketchup every morning. Good job, Mr. Beat, you’ve united us all once again!
I disagree, there is something so dehumanizing and absolutely the opposite of "affirming that these are people" when you hear about apple pie made with pork
Thomas Jefferson going to Europe and realizing macaroni was a masterpiece that everyone had to try it back home is why I'm glad we live in this timeline. That alone was a hero move. But I feel for Buchanan. He kept ordering cabbage from the cabbage merchant and Team Avatar keeps ruining his orders with their shenanigans.
People think of Jefferson as being a farmer since he would go on about how farming was the best and most important job anyone could have... but he was in fact quite uninterested in his own farm. What he was really fascinated by was the cuisine, what you could make from a farm's produce. He brought back more than macaroni and cheese from Europe, he also helped popularize ice cream and French fries. He was also one of the first Americans to spread the use of tomatoes, rutabaga, sesame oil, lima beans, okra, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and eggplant (among others), which were either rare or unheard of at the time Jefferson started planting them at Monticello.
@@porsche911sbs apparently, he once ate a tomato like an apple in public and people freaked out because tomatoes were still thought to be poisonous (because they're related to hemlock). I hope this is true, because it's such a Jefferson thing to do.
Bread pudding is slightly dried bread cubes mixed into and baked in vanilla egg custard pudding. So the bread soaks up the pudding before it sets up firm. Some people like it with maple syrup and it tastes just like French toast! I like it with cinnamon. The customary topping is lemon curd, much like the lemon stuff inside a lemon pie. Personally, I think it's fantastic.

You forgot green olives for John F. Kennedy. One of my customers used to be a chef who would frequently prepare food for meetings at a hotel in DC. Every time JFK came, my customer knew to always have a tray of green olives out for him
This reminds me of how one year in Junior High School, my US history class had a party, and everyone chose a president and then bring some food that they really liked. I chose Eisenhower and found the recipe to his wife's sugar cookies. It was something really easy to do and my Mom loved to bake. Years later, and it's still our favorite sugar cookie recipe.
LBJ’s love of Mexican food reminded me of how before he became president, he taught at a segregated Mexican-American School, which eventually caused him to support the Civil Rights Movement, at least far back as 1957.
A year ago, before this video was uploaded, my family and I embarked on a challenge to eat every single one of the food items on this list - all consecutively. I'm currently working on a book all about it.
I'm interested on how you balance it like, for reagen you wouldn't possibly eat jelly beans as a meal right? Probably eat as a snack when you get hungry between meals.
Vinegar pie is basically an apple pie without apple. Basically a depression pie. We started growing zucchini last season and we made a apple.pie but substituted with zucchini. It's amazing and you can't recognize it's zucchini besides seeds
My grandmother was Regan’s secretary when he was Governor of CA. I met him a few times when I was a kid and, he indeed have a jar of jelly beans on his desk he’d let me dip into if my grandmother was ok with it.
I am a descendent of Ulysses S Grant my great grandmother was his great granddaughter and we have that pudding recipe in our family, though we don’t have limit in it anymore, but we still put nutmeg on it except for me because I’m allergic to it so I put cinnamon.
Chicken fricassee isn’t just chicken cooked in some sauce. It’s literally one of the greatest browned in butter, then braised/stewed in a mushroom cream and chicken stock based roux sauces ever. That served over rice and baked bacon wrapped asparagus on the side is one of the greatest meals ever. Any time I make it for a dinner party I get rave reviews. Lincoln knew what’s up.
@@supremecud147 It's more of a technique than a specific sauce, but yes - the "sauce" component is similar to a velouté, maybe an allemande. The key is to sauté the meat first, then braise it in the sauce. That's what makes it a fricassee.
Blanc mange is vanilla pudding. Hoppin' John is a southern thing and MUST be eaten every New Years for good luck. Blackeyed peas are simmered with smoked meat: bacon, ham, sausage, or all three, cut into small bite sized pieces. Most people added chopped onion and bell pepper, garlic and salt--with all that smoked meat you don't need much, and pepper. In Texas jalapenos, finely minced are added. Simmer until the peas are very soft, which doesn't take long, especially since fresh, not dried, peas are preferred. Serve over white rice topped with a spicy sauce of your choosing. Homemade or Tabasco are popular. Good stuff!
I remember going out to Washington DC years ago and bought one that included a recipe for each president and first lady. I'm sure my some still has it.
@@tyronejon-quay-veusjuniort1592 Step 1: Go to your local McDonald's Step 2: Order 20 of every item on the menu until you either have everything, have no more space in your vehicle, or run out of money. Step 3: Go home Step 4: Serve on the finest plates and silverware (Serves 12)
My grandpa has a lot of great stories from when he was in the Navy. He saw LBJ on a visit to one of the bases because one of his crew mates was LBJ’s son in law. He sang the president a few songs, made the president a lot of tejano food and received a hug from the president.
As a big Garfield fan, I must defend the choice of squirrel. As stated, he couldn't really eat a lot of rich, fatty cooked foods. Actually one of the causes of his infections getting so bad was his doctors forcing him to eat food like bacon, which he threw up (and losing everything else he ate). So a lean meat like squirrel makes a lot of sense for this dietary condition! On top of that, he grew up poor on the frontier, where game was a more popular food choice.
your videos remind me so much of the US History teacher I had in high school, he was such a good teacher. watching your videos give me such nostalgia, your TH-cam channel is my confort channel, thank you for dedicating yourself to it so much
Once while doing a TV spot, Jill Biden introduced something to do with ice cream on that I actually used when hosting a Christmas dinner - we did a sundae bar for dessert but instead of having guests scoop their ice cream from the container, which is messy and takes forever, we used Jill’s technique: the day before, pre-scoop the ice cream and wrap individual scoops in plastic wrap. Then just before serving, unwrap each scoop and put them into a serving bowl (I chilled the bowl first to prevent early melting). Guests simply have to take a scoop or two from the serving bowl with tongs for an instant sundae. It worked out well.
Honestly it’s pretty humanizing to find out the presidents’ favorite foods, it reminds you that even the most powerful people in the world who have had to deal with so many national and international problems all the time still have little joys they get out of life
@@iammrbeat I hope you will reply to this this was an interesting video I like reading about the presidents U S History was my favorite subject in school I made an A + in it
Wish I could try it. But my man found out during a trip down to Missouri, that he is highly allergic to the meat. Ended up as a kid having his stomach pumped.
And you call Fraklin Pierce a doughface. I'm not sure what that means but, he was a rabid, racist Democrat that opposed Lincoln in abolishing Slavery. Democrats also founded the KKK and blocked the Civil Rights Movement. Malcolm X and MLK tried to warn Black Americans of the Democrats and they killed them for it.
Surprised that Mr. Beat didn't mention that Taft once feasted on a 26lb opossum during a Thanksgiving dinner at the White House. (That freaks me out more than squirrels). Several presidents enjoyed dining on roadkill like squirrels, possums, and raccoons.
The thumbnail makes it look like the Presidents have put all their differences aside and have sat down to eat a dinner that Trump has prepared for them.
I too eat breakfast for dinner sometimes, delicious as always. My mom always used to call it “Brinner” as well when I was growing up lol you think it would be more common of a saying for this but you’re the first person I’ve ever heard anyone other than my mom saying the term.
My niece has decided to become the President in the future. Just for the record, her favorite foods are dark chocolate, specifically flourless chocolate cake, grilled ribeye, and beef nachos.
I need to watch these just to see Calvin Coolidge. We learned nothing about him in school, and now here I am learning that he mixed weird foods together, was the complete opposite of his wife, and other stuff. What an interesting guy.
Vinegar pie is actually quite good. I live in Tennessee where it’s still made in certain places. It was a poor man’s substitute for lemon pie as the vinegar was mixed with sugar and other flavorings. It’s actually really close to lemon pie.
When I learned about vinegar in cake, I was like "Wait what?". But when I tried a piece of that vinegar choccy cake, I was pleasantly surprised. The vinegar actually brings out the chocolate taste more. Also, it reduces the sweetness.
The presidents all started off with these elaborate and unique meals as their favorite foods. But by the modern era, everything was just replaced with junk food and fast food. God bless America.
Well to be fair Obama’s hamburgers are mostly made with actual beef and real ingredients, same thing can be assumed with the nachos and with Bush’s pizza. The fast food trend started with Clinton, sure, but the only other two presidents who really liked it are Trump and Biden.
I was a kid in Washington when Clinton was Prez. He used to go on his runs around the city with his security personnel jogging along in tow. I was at a McDonald's after school one day when suddenly there was a commotion up front. Before I know it, there were about 10-12 bodyguards inside and I could see Clinton joking with the McD staff and ordering big macs, fries and quarter pounders to take back to the White House. He still had his jogging shorts on and next thing he was jogging again with security detail and bodyguards in tow. Clinton's McDonalds habits came to an end when he had triple bypass heart surgery shortly after he finished his presidency
Just don't serve undercooked meat to him or his staff members. One cook on Air Force One made that mistake once, and LBJ gave him an earful about it before throwing the meals food first on the floor and stomping away.
When he was Union general, Grant also had a strange breakfast. A cup of coffee (normal) and a pickle. Depending on how much sleep he got overnight, the cucumber might not have had enough time in the vinegar...
It kinda makes sense in an odd way. Caffeine from the coffee and electrolytes from the pickle. Sorta like something you might have while dieting or fasting.
I love soups and stews! I mostly enjoy very flavorful ethnic soups and stews from around the world, though (such as Pho, Caldo de Res, Irish lamb stew, Thai coconut curry chicken soup with lemongrass, and so forth). I doubt that was what Millard Fillmore went for, however, if those sorts of recipes were even available and the ingredients accessible. (I would wager that such a wide variety of gourmet spices were harder to source and much more costly for Americans than they are today.)
I liked seeing the progression of the country through the lens of food, how food evolved through the ages and things, food was more complicated in earlier administrations but as we got closer to the present more presidents like quicker and cheaper food? I also liked the fun fact of how Reagan kept a jar of jelly beans on his desk during his administration
The most recent presidents all enjoy fast food. That's interesting when you consider American's diets have gotten worse and fast foods have come to dominate. Whether they honestly love it (I think so) or are trying to blend it, it's interesting how presidents' food choices reflect their times.
I think it might have something to do with campaigning on the road. You have to have something you can stuff into your face quickly between stops on the campaign bus. I'm not sure that can explain Trump's penchant for chicken and burgers though, seeing as he was mostly on his own private jet.
Some of it is true. Some of it is for show. It really depends on how "managed" the politician in question is Heck, Bush Sr. got in trouble for his broccoli statement because it harmed the broccoli industry
Zachary Taylor was known for being especially fond of hominy. He actually had a horse that had a nose for sniffing out the best corn for making hominy. I'm surprised that was not mentioned here.
I live in Santa Cruz CA and Joe Biden had visited a town that had been heavily damaged by a storm. He made sure to stop by Marianne’s ice cream, a local ice cream shop. The secret service had to order for him, but in his state that’s not particularly surprising. I was told he ordered chocolate chip.
For George HW Bush, you should've also said that he likes Peking Duck. He started liking it, while he was serving as the US ambassador to China. And boy Peking Gourmet Inn has always been a population destination for both politicians and common American citizens ever since George HW Bush and his family shows up there numerous times. The owner of the restaurant even regarded Mr. Bush senior as a favorite customer.
Thanks for the tip (I just moved to DC) But holy crap it’s $79 for a duck and all the other entrees are $50-60! It will have to be a special occasion dinner.
Bread pudding is sooooooo good. The last few years my mom has been making the bread pudding for christmas using torn up cinnamon rolls instead of regular bread, and while it might literally be lethal to eat due to how unhealthy it is, it might be the best thing in the world.
@@OoooshetriesSs You just make bread pudding, but instead of bread, you go buy a pack of cinnamon rolls of your choice and rip them up and use it the same way haha.
LBJ also guzzled root beer by the gallons (when he wasn't draining fifths of Cutty Sark whiskey). In one book I read that LBJ once ordered Air Force One to make an emergency landing at the Denver Airport. There was a crisis on board because they had ran out of root beer. LBJ was livid and was screaming at the staff. Only an A&W would get him to calm down.
Lol that's great. I never knew that ty ty. On the cutty, he would have fit in with Washington's 1787 party. 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of Claret, 8 bottles of Whiskey, 22 bottles of Porter, 8 bottles of Hard Cider, 12 of Beer, 21 bottles of an unnamed wine, and seven bowls of Alcoholic Punch. So given the aberage bottle size then that's about 60 gallons of booze for a closed door party lol
Trump was quoted as saying "I love Steak, it's my favorite food" Apparently he loved going to the most expensive steak houses in New York and Washington, ordering a expensive New York Strip cooked well done to the point of shoe leather and drowning in steak sauce or ketchup
This is honestly criminal enough to be on level with the treason, stolen classified documents and intel, and inciting a riot. What kind of monster orders an expensive steak, well done, and then drowning it in ketchup? I can visualize a chef either crying or cursing loudly whenever he ordered that.
Trouble is, to make ice cream requires CREAM - a dairy product that usually comes from cows. Todays ice cream is like a lot of leftover mashed potatoes with sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Much better off getting a pint of whipping cream and freezing some berries in it.
Mr. Beat makes perfect videos. Every video I watch like this feels like I've only been watching for 4 minutes and it's like "oh crap. This video was 19 minutes long?? The content is always interesting and so is the delivery. Thank you for the cool content!
Thanks for this video! I love how you make history interesting, regardless of politics is can be interesting knowing about the favorite foods of others
Im a sucker for any meat and bread situation. Burgers, Burittos, Subs etc. So I enjoy a healthy diet as you can tell. Just a quick thanjs Mr Beat. Moved house after a very stressful 5 months getting all the paperwork etc ready. To calm down I kept watching your President election videos. Cheers man.
I Googled vinegar pie, the other name for it is "desperation pie". I have a feeling, because so many people were poor back then, wealthy politicians like him when asked their favorite food, they would just think of the most despairing options to make people think he's just like them. Meanwhile he's eating steak every night
Not really. One of my uncles is a top brain surgeon and earns a TON of money every year. His favorite side dish is white rice with vinegar; because growing up, he was both poor and his mother sucked at cooking, so the only way to compensate and add flavor for cheap, was vinegar. To this day, he keeps adding vinegar to the rice every time we serve it.
Like when Hillary Clinton said she carries hot sauce in her purse to black people but then almost passed out at how deplorable a normal black person lived?
One of the High on the Hog episodes on Netflix does a great job of telling a more complete story about mac & cheese. James Hemings, one of Jefferson's enslaved chefs (and Sally's brother), learned and perfected the recipe that popularized it in the US.
I know that President Regan liked Macaroni and Cheese. There is a recipe you can find for Nancy Regan's macaroni and cheese that he loved. I have made it, and it is very much like my Mom used to make. It is also very adaptable in whichever way you prefer it. I am certain their chef in the White House made this frequently.
Ive seen alot of your content mr beat, and im grateful to witness the style in wich you approach every video, im a little nerdy myself and lacked confidence on displaying my knowledge while trying to fit in and be fun and goofy about it too....

10:24 I went to Harding's house, and they said he liked eating creamed chipped beef over waffles. Also, he had a toaster that plugged into his dining room chandelier.
GHW Bush was missing all the fun with pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. There's an Italian restaurant no far from my hometown that does sides. As much as I love shrimp on my pasta, I get fettuccine alfredo with broccoli and mushrooms. It tastes so awesome! I'm obsessed with Italian food!
My favourite general's living his life eating his favourite dessert made by his wife. But hearing Martin Van Buren's favourite food is oysters, it's more than enough to tell that he's seafood lover. I didn't expect Buchanan to like cabbage, that's my boi, eating healthy food but still not having a sharp mind. He should've ate almonds instead. And, listening to what Coolidge likes, I am pretty sure that Herbert Hoover brought all that stuff from China and introduced it to Coolidge. He liked it so much that he started eating it in regular terms(my theory xD). Ronald Reagan likes gummy beans as I heard, he must've been missing his childhood days :). Rest are okay, and the squirrel foods were common in old times
Apples and Pork work well together. I mean, think about this. Mince pies used to be made with meat, too and apples and pork have been paired often from the medieval period onward. Coolidge is not too weird.
Yeah, I would definitely be interested in trying a pork and apple pie. I'm going to have to hunt down some recipes. Sounds like a great comfort food for October.
I am thrilled that hoecakes were mentioned in this video! I grew up reading Jean Fritz, including “George Washington’s Breakfast,” and I am so pleased to have 21st century confirmation of George Washington’s culinary preferences. You brought to mind some happy childhood memories. Thank-you. The
I’m from Scranton, Pa. When Joe Biden is in town he always stops at Hank’s Hoagies on Woodlawn St. He used to go there as a child and always stops when he is in….including on his Election Day. Keep up the good work! I love the channel.
@@sherryhannah9262 President Trump didn't start a war, biden did, Trump didn't raise gas prices, Biden did. Trump didn't let illegals FLOOD IN OUR BORDER BIDEN DID. The job of a President is to HELP PROTECT the country something Joe is NOT DOING! FJB
I remember seeing a news story about George W Bush's love of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seriously. There is a small kitchen in the West Wing near the Oval Office. They always kept it stocked with bread and George's favorite peanut butter and jelly so he could pop in for a quick snack.
Hmmm... I once read that Dolley Madison's favorite ice cream was actually salmon-flavored. It still sounds revolting with either oysters or salmon. I'm sticking with chocolate.
Salmon is the most underrated food. Raw salmon, that is. Best texture, best flavour, one of the healthiest too, and easiest to prepare (literally raw). It's also just moderately expensive, sustainably farmable, and not toxic as it's lower on the food chain.
It sounds revolting but it could actually be quite delicious. One of the original flavors of ice cream was Parmesan. It doesn't taste cheesy at all -- in fact if you didn't know it, you would think you were eating vanilla ice cream.
Japan seems to like seafood-based ice creams as well. I remember when I was a kid the first time I heard about that kinda stuff and it as that apparently in the Bahamas they serve flying fish ice cream or something like that, can't remember much of the details but that info has stuck with me ever since.

People think of Jefferson as being a farmer since he would go on about how farming was the best and most important job anyone could have... but he was in fact quite uninterested in his own farm. What he was really fascinated by was the cuisine, what you could make from a farm's produce. He brought back more than macaroni and cheese from Europe, he also helped popularize ice cream and French fries. He was also one of the first Americans to spread the use of tomatoes, rutabaga, sesame oil, lima beans, okra, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and eggplant (among others), which were either rare or unheard of at the time Jefferson started planting them at Monticello.
Love this comment! ❤️
Whoa... don't you comment on hungrybox's vids?
You realize this is the only timeline right? The copenhagen interpretation has yet to be disproven.
@@porsche911sbs apparently, he once ate a tomato like an apple in public and people freaked out because tomatoes were still thought to be poisonous (because they're related to hemlock). I hope this is true, because it's such a Jefferson thing to do.
Bread pudding is slightly dried bread cubes mixed into and baked in vanilla egg custard pudding. So the bread soaks up the pudding before it sets up firm. Some people like it with maple syrup and it tastes just like French toast! I like it with cinnamon. The customary topping is lemon curd, much like the lemon stuff inside a lemon pie. Personally, I think it's fantastic.

Chicken fricassee isn’t just chicken cooked in some sauce. It’s literally one of the greatest browned in butter, then braised/stewed in a mushroom cream and chicken stock based roux sauces ever.

@@supremecud147 It's more of a technique than a specific sauce, but yes - the "sauce" component is similar to a velouté, maybe an allemande. The key is to sauté the meat first, then braise it in the sauce. That's what makes it a fricassee.
@@Revelwoodie ohhh i see thank u very much. im trying to broaden my knowledge and that clarification helps a lot. i appreciate it
Blanc mange is vanilla pudding. Hoppin' John is a southern thing and MUST be eaten every New Years for good luck. Blackeyed peas are simmered with smoked meat: bacon, ham, sausage, or all three, cut into small bite sized pieces. Most people added chopped onion and bell pepper, garlic and salt--with all that smoked meat you don't need much, and pepper. In Texas jalapenos, finely minced are added. Simmer until the peas are very soft, which doesn't take long, especially since fresh, not dried, peas are preferred. Serve over white rice topped with a spicy sauce of your choosing. Homemade or Tabasco are popular. Good stuff!

My grandpa has a lot of great stories from when he was in the Navy. He saw LBJ on a visit to one of the bases because one of his crew mates was LBJ’s son in law. He sang the president a few songs, made the president a lot of tejano food and received a hug from the president.
I originally read LBJ as LeBron James lol. And yes I know who the president LBJ actually is 😉
LBJ was a crude man who used to get a big kick out of his own flatulence. Surprised his favorite food wasn’t beans.

So.
As a big Garfield fan, I must defend the choice of squirrel. As stated, he couldn't really eat a lot of rich, fatty cooked foods. Actually one of the causes of his infections getting so bad was his doctors forcing him to eat food like bacon, which he threw up (and losing everything else he ate). So a lean meat like squirrel makes a lot of sense for this dietary condition! On top of that, he grew up poor on the frontier, where game was a more popular food choice.
I know squirrel meat is odd, but it makes sense for dietary and medical reasons.

Once while doing a TV spot, Jill Biden introduced something to do with ice cream on that I actually used when hosting a Christmas dinner - we did a sundae bar for dessert but instead of having guests scoop their ice cream from the container, which is messy and takes forever, we used Jill’s technique: the day before, pre-scoop the ice cream and wrap individual scoops in plastic wrap. Then just before serving, unwrap each scoop and put them into a serving bowl (I chilled the bowl first to prevent early melting). Guests simply have to take a scoop or two from the serving bowl with tongs for an instant sundae. It worked out well.
Freaking genius

Vinegar pie is actually quite good. I live in Tennessee where it’s still made in certain places. It was a poor man’s substitute for lemon pie as the vinegar was mixed with sugar and other flavorings. It’s actually really close to lemon pie.
When I learned about vinegar in cake, I was like "Wait what?". But when I tried a piece of that vinegar choccy cake, I was pleasantly surprised. The vinegar actually brings out the chocolate taste more. Also, it reduces the sweetness.

Well to be fair Obama’s hamburgers are mostly made with actual beef and real ingredients, same thing can be assumed with the nachos and with Bush’s pizza. The fast food trend started with Clinton, sure, but the only other two presidents who really liked it are Trump and Biden.
I was a kid in Washington when Clinton was Prez.
He used to go on his runs around the city with his security personnel jogging along in tow.
I was at a McDonald's after school one day when suddenly there was a commotion up front.
Before I know it, there were about 10-12 bodyguards inside and I could see Clinton joking with the McD staff and ordering big macs, fries and quarter pounders to take back to the White House.
He still had his jogging shorts on and next thing he was jogging again with security detail and bodyguards in tow.
Clinton's McDonalds habits came to an end when he had triple bypass heart surgery shortly after he finished his presidency
Never realized LBJ was a man of such good culinary taste

The most recent presidents all enjoy fast food. That's interesting when you consider American's diets have gotten worse and fast foods have come to dominate.
Whether they honestly love it (I think so) or are trying to blend it, it's interesting how presidents' food choices reflect their times.
the more particular choices of recent presidents like Nachos and Cheeseburger Pizza reflect the times as well, very thought provoking
I think it might have something to do with campaigning on the road. You have to have something you can stuff into your face quickly between stops on the campaign bus. I'm not sure that can explain Trump's penchant for chicken and burgers though, seeing as he was mostly on his own private jet.
Its hard not to be into fast food now. I quit eating it 2 years ago and still crave the convenient calories pretty often.
Are you... stupid? That’s literally like... normal. Of course their favorite foods reflect the times.
Some of it is true. Some of it is for show. It really depends on how "managed" the politician in question is

Zachary Taylor was known for being especially fond of hominy. He actually had a horse that had a nose for sniffing out the best corn for making hominy. I'm surprised that was not mentioned here.

I live in Santa Cruz CA and Joe Biden had visited a town that had been heavily damaged by a storm. He made sure to stop by Marianne’s ice cream, a local ice cream shop. The secret service had to order for him, but in his state that’s not particularly surprising. I was told he ordered chocolate chip.
For George HW Bush, you should've also said that he likes Peking Duck. He started liking it, while he was serving as the US ambassador to China. And boy Peking Gourmet Inn has always been a population destination for both politicians and common American citizens ever since George HW Bush and his family shows up there numerous times. The owner of the restaurant even regarded Mr. Bush senior as a favorite customer.

“My name is Joe Biden and I love ice cream.”
The best political stance any president has or ever will take. Truly the ideology to unite the country.
Think the political map, and then there's just a floating cone of ice cream above it all
Trouble is, to make ice cream requires CREAM - a dairy product that usually comes from cows. Todays ice cream is like a lot of leftover mashed potatoes with sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Much better off getting a pint of whipping cream and freezing some berries in it.

@@cooldude6269 the national loaf? Lol that sounds appetizing.
Not really. One of my uncles is a top brain surgeon and earns a TON of money every year. His favorite side dish is white rice with vinegar; because growing up, he was both poor and his mother sucked at cooking, so the only way to compensate and add flavor for cheap, was vinegar. To this day, he keeps adding vinegar to the rice every time we serve it.
Like when Hillary Clinton said she carries hot sauce in her purse to black people but then almost passed out at how deplorable a normal black person lived?
One of the High on the Hog episodes on Netflix does a great job of telling a more complete story about mac & cheese. James Hemings, one of Jefferson's enslaved chefs (and Sally's brother), learned and perfected the recipe that popularized it in the US.
I know that President Regan liked Macaroni and Cheese.
There is a recipe you can find for Nancy Regan's macaroni and cheese that he loved.
I have made it, and it is very much like my Mom used to make. It is also very adaptable in whichever way you prefer it.
I am certain their chef in the White House made this frequently.
Ive seen alot of your content mr beat, and im grateful to witness the style in wich you approach every video, im a little nerdy myself and lacked confidence on displaying my knowledge while trying to fit in and be fun and goofy about it too.... So im just saying it because you deserve to know that youre a huge inspiration as well as a content creator... Keep it up!
Displaying and sharing knowledge is always cool. Anyone who thinks it isn't just projecting their own insecurities about feeling stupid.

10:24 I went to Harding's house, and they said he liked eating creamed chipped beef over waffles. Also, he had a toaster that plugged into his dining room chandelier.
Cream chipped beef is 11/10
Appliances used to plug (or in most cases screw) into ceiling fixtures before wall outlets were invented.
GHW Bush was missing all the fun with pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. There's an Italian restaurant no far from my hometown that does sides. As much as I love shrimp on my pasta, I get fettuccine alfredo with broccoli and mushrooms. It tastes so awesome! I'm obsessed with Italian food!
My favourite general's living his life eating his favourite dessert made by his wife. But hearing Martin Van Buren's favourite food is oysters, it's more than enough to tell that he's seafood lover. I didn't expect Buchanan to like cabbage, that's my boi, eating healthy food but still not having a sharp mind. He should've ate almonds instead. And, listening to what Coolidge likes, I am pretty sure that Herbert Hoover brought all that stuff from China and introduced it to Coolidge. He liked it so much that he started eating it in regular terms(my theory xD). Ronald Reagan likes gummy beans as I heard, he must've been missing his childhood days :). Rest are okay, and the squirrel foods were common in old times
Thank you Coolidge for helping popularize Chinese food in America.
I don’t think I ever realized how weird most people think squirrel soup is until I left Wisconsin
Apples and Pork work well together. I mean, think about this. Mince pies used to be made with meat, too and apples and pork have been paired often from the medieval period onward. Coolidge is not too weird.
One of my favorite dishes is pork chops with apples. They're baked in the oven.
Yeah, I would definitely be interested in trying a pork and apple pie. I'm going to have to hunt down some recipes. Sounds like a great comfort food for October.
My only problem Brinner - it should be Dinfast, because it needs the right order. Brunch at 11-13, Linner at 3-5 and Dinfast at 7-4
Think that’s just the average meal schedule for someone with no sleep schedule
I am thrilled that hoecakes were mentioned in this video! I grew up reading Jean Fritz, including “George Washington’s Breakfast,” and I am so pleased to have 21st century confirmation of George Washington’s culinary preferences. You brought to mind some happy childhood memories. Thank-you.

I’m from Scranton, Pa. When Joe Biden is in town he always stops at Hank’s Hoagies on Woodlawn St. He used to go there as a child and always stops when he is in….including on his Election Day. Keep up the good work! I love the channel.
Andrew Gruden you like Joe Biden?????!!!!….. I do he’s a hell of a lot better than Trump
Andrew Gruden did you get to meet Joe Biden and if you did is he a nice guy??????!!!!!!…. I also hope you will reply to this
@@sherryhannah9262 President Trump didn't start a war, biden did, Trump didn't raise gas prices, Biden did. Trump didn't let illegals FLOOD IN OUR BORDER BIDEN DID. The job of a President is to HELP PROTECT the country something Joe is NOT DOING! FJB
@@amberhollowell2957 Trump is a bad man he a xenophobic racist sexist liar he and his hooligans tried to destroy this country

I love how, when you look at the chapter segments, Teddy's is noticeably longer than everyone else's
As it should be
Anything less would be a disservice.
I heard Grover Cleveland would eat his favorite dish but never in consecutive days 😊
I remember seeing a news story about George W Bush's love of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seriously. There is a small kitchen in the West Wing near the Oval Office. They always kept it stocked with bread and George's favorite peanut butter and jelly so he could pop in for a quick snack.
Supposedly he said French fries were one of his favorite foods
Paisan! I knew I had something in common with Dubya. 😁
I'm very disappointed that James Garfield's favorite food wasn't lasagna
Not sure if he hates Monday though
@@quakethedoombringer considering he died on a Monday ...... man that's really spooky
Hahaha nice joke about Garfield from 19th and 21st century
Hmmm... I once read that Dolley Madison's favorite ice cream was actually salmon-flavored. It still sounds revolting with either oysters or salmon. I'm sticking with chocolate.
Salmon is the most underrated food. Raw salmon, that is. Best texture, best flavour, one of the healthiest too, and easiest to prepare (literally raw). It's also just moderately expensive, sustainably farmable, and not toxic as it's lower on the food chain.
@@kennethkho7165 salmon-flavored ice cream, u like it tho?
It sounds revolting but it could actually be quite delicious. One of the original flavors of ice cream was Parmesan. It doesn't taste cheesy at all -- in fact if you didn't know it, you would think you were eating vanilla ice cream.
Japan seems to like seafood-based ice creams as well. I remember when I was a kid the first time I heard about that kinda stuff and it as that apparently in the Bahamas they serve flying fish ice cream or something like that, can't remember much of the details but that info has stuck with me ever since.
