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.

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.

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. !!!
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.
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.
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. 😊
"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).
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~♥💙🍺🍺
Resurection Pie is an old Italian dish, also known as Italian Easter Pie, it's to be made on Good Friday, and eaten on Easter Sunday. Known by MANY other names. It is a mix of meats, cheeses, and eggs in a pizza dough type crust. 😊

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.
Many of the favorites of these Presidents were some of mine growing up and even today,. Virginia Baked Ham, Beef Stew, New England Fish Chowder, the Filet-O-Fish sandwich (I make my own version that is much better), Corned Beef and Cabbage and Chili. I had forgotten Ronald Reagan was a lover of Jelly Beans. How could I have; it was talked about quite a bit when he was President. Everyone pretty much likes Ice Cream, but I prefer a nice bowl of Honey Vanilla Greek Yogurt and fruit in season for dessert. Much healthier and still very satisfying to the sweet tooth.
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!
Much enjoyed this TH-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
@@Annika4000 yes, I do call it Dutch Ditch Juice, but now that I am old and don't drink much beer, a bottle of H after a week with no beer is delicious. PS it's a good movie, have you seen it?
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.
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!!!!
Biden loves icecream and is often asked about the flavor he has selected by the media. This is done while the world burns because of his piss poor leadership. So bad the Democrats abandoned him.
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.
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.
@@davidc4983 it proves I know the proper pronunciation of the name Polk. Are we really going to go back and forth with this? You're just trolling for an argument from what I see. Go someplace else.
@@glenncordova4027 Yeah, in the U. S. “homely" means unattractive so whenever I hear it or read it used as we would use “homey,” I do a double-take for a second.
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.
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.
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 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
I cant afford ANYTHING anymore! I dont care if you dont like the man that is Trump but I need to survive! Please vote for him :( My rent went from $960 to $1565 a month! :(
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
So many errors. First, Jeffersons favorite dish was Macaroni and Cheese which he discovered in France. He loved it so much that he brought a macaroni maker to the White House and served it extensively. Lincolns fave was Turtle Soup. Kennedys fave Clam Chowder was the one served at Ye Old Oyster House in Boston. Johnson's fave food was Chili Con Queso, which Lady Bird referred to as Chili Con Concrete lol. Eisenhower's stew was called Moanys Stew because his aide de camp Sgt. moany made it and only he made it.
No. His slave invented it & it was unique for being in one pot. He brought the pasta machine back from Italy. Not France. He even had a pond on the premises for fresh fish

@@Oran-35 - ya, he also made most of our national parks. I doubt we will ever see a president like him again.
Yum! Hoppin John!! Paired with cornbread❤❤❤❤
I think they didn't say that Hoppin' John was black-eyed peas and rice.
What is it...never heard of it
@@janetanderson4999Hoppin' John is a Southern dish made with black-eyed peas and rice.
@susanmercurio1060 thanks I love black-eyed peas and rice...I'll try to find a authentic southern recipe for it..
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
thank goodness for historians
Now I'm hungry.
George Washington and Ronald Reagan are my favorites!!!!
Many of the favorites of these Presidents were some of mine growing up and even today,. Virginia Baked Ham, Beef Stew, New England Fish Chowder, the Filet-O-Fish sandwich (I make my own version that is much better), Corned Beef and Cabbage and Chili. I had forgotten Ronald Reagan was a lover of Jelly Beans. How could I have; it was talked about quite a bit when he was President. Everyone pretty much likes Ice Cream, but I prefer a nice bowl of Honey Vanilla Greek Yogurt and fruit in season for dessert. Much healthier and still very satisfying to the sweet tooth.
Oh, I love me some McDonald's filet fish sandwich 😊 but that's an occasional treat 😋
@@rosemariemello6675 Burger King's is WAY better!!
"Despite what you may think, even Presidents need to eat."
*WHAT? No way!*
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!
Much enjoyed this TH-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.

As much as I admire JFK, Heineken is pretty mediocre beer.
@@Annika4000 yes, I do call it Dutch Ditch Juice, but now that I am old and don't drink much beer, a bottle of H after a week with no beer is delicious. PS it's a good movie, have you seen it?
@@Joe-f3b I haven't actually, sounds like I should rectify that, thank you.
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.
It would be helpful to offer us the recipes
Stop being lazy. Use google
Teddy Roosevelt fried chicken after my own heart
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
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!!!!
There is nothing childish about loving ice cream. Most adults l know do.
FJB
@@ferris240 FDT and anyone stupid enough to think he should be president again.
Biden loves icecream and is often asked about the flavor he has selected by the media. This is done while the world burns because of his piss poor leadership. So bad the Democrats abandoned him.
Go away
@@eileenmcdonald1599 Why? You must be one of Trump's delusional cult members.
This is making me hungry,
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
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.
Of all the foods available, I prefer the Teddy Roosevelt fried chicken with white sauce and mashed potato. Nixon's cottage cheese gross.
Agreed, but gotta have some fresh peas.
Now I know why Nixon did not have much of a sense of humor. If my favorite food was cottage cheese, I probably wouldn't laugh at all.
😅😅😅
I heard that he topped off his cottage cheese with KETCHUP!!! 7:16
@@VickieBopp I heard it was Pinapple
Its not my go to but cottage cheese is good af and great snack protein when lifting.
Richie was pretty uptight.
that corn on the cob looked good
Great episode
So very interesting! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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
Thank you for keeping politics out of it - very, very rare these days and it made a great video even more enjoyable.
The k in Polk is not silent. You pronounce it Polk not Pol. I know because I live in a county named after him.
That doesn't prove anything I lived in Louisville, and they pronounce that shit luhville
I noticed he used the word homely in stead of homey. That is the British usage.
@@davidc4983 it proves I know the proper pronunciation of the name Polk. Are we really going to go back and forth with this? You're just trolling for an argument from what I see. Go someplace else.
@@glenncordova4027 Yeah, in the U. S. “homely" means unattractive so whenever I hear it or read it used as we would use “homey,” I do a double-take for a second.
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.
I had a BR, who was very fond of squirrel stew in the 1980s.
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.
Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama❤️❤️❤️❤️and John F Kennedy
All clowns
@@TheDrewThornton John F Kennedy was not a clown. He was actually a patriot, and murdered for it.
Yummy
Replace Kennedy with Biden, and you have the 3 worst presidents of all time.
@@rebeccapalubicki6828 Replace Kennedy with Biden, and you have the three worst presidents in history.
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.
Kudos on your research sir! Even though we’re talking about the presidents, some of that info must’ve required very deep dives!
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 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
I cant afford ANYTHING anymore! I dont care if you dont like the man that is Trump but I need to survive! Please vote for him :( My rent went from $960 to $1565 a month! :(
And he's not going to do anything about it!
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.
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.
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.
Hoppin’ John!
Really cool and interesting video. I might even try to recreate some of these foods.
Lincoln's favorite is Chicken Fricassee with Biscuits
Macaroni and chili with toasted garlic bread is good.
I love broccoli, how do you not love broccoli, carrots and cabbage . . . . .
Yes indeed grew up in the country
No taste
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.
Kennedy loved clam chowda.
Yep, I can see how JFK loved some Clam.
White chowder!
So did Diamond Joe Quimby, and his nephew Freddy
Very interesting! Thank you!
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.
If I was president my favorite meal would be Fettuccine pasta with a glass of red wine and a slice of strawberry cheesecake.
I thought the potato beet mixture was really surprising, but highly nutritious
I think it sounds nice, actually. Never heard of it before.
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.
Theodore Roosevelt,FDR & Jimmy Carter.
We felt hungry and wanted to eat after this video.👍🌹👏😋
As Far as Reagan and the Jellybeans helping him quit smoking. Lots of pipe tobacco was cased in Anise, which is used in licorice.
I kinda wonder if he was addicted to that specific flavor since it potentially tasted almost like tobacco
My mom used to make New England boiled dinner.
Millard Fillmore looks like Alex Baldwin.
Alec Baldwin

So many errors. First, Jeffersons favorite dish was Macaroni and Cheese which he discovered in France. He loved it so much that he brought a macaroni maker to the White House and served it extensively. Lincolns fave was Turtle Soup. Kennedys fave Clam Chowder was the one served at Ye Old Oyster House in Boston. Johnson's fave food was Chili Con Queso, which Lady Bird referred to as Chili Con Concrete lol. Eisenhower's stew was called Moanys Stew because his aide de camp Sgt. moany made it and only he made it.
No. His slave invented it & it was unique for being in one pot. He brought the pasta machine back from Italy. Not France. He even had a pond on the premises for fresh fish

Are a fried clam pastry
We Nigerians call it chin chin. Fried dough mixed with sugar, vanilla extract, and sometimes cinnamon
