Presidents And Produce

We're very familiar with George Washington and the cherry tree along with George Bush's distaste for broccoli, but what about some of the other presidents?  Did they like their fruits and vegetables?

I pulled some interesting notes about our past presidents' food favorites and have listed them below.  For more information on all of the presidents and additional detail check out this article.

Thomas Jefferson was fond of peas and grew them in his garden.  James Madison was known to be a lover of apple pie while Taft was partial to peaches in a peach salad.  Dwight Eisenhower wasn't known as a food gourmet, but he did like to cook and was known for loving onions.  Mrs. Kennedy brought French cooking to the White House, but President Kennedy was known to enjoy a cold beer.  President Nixon couldn't lie about his love of California and Florida fresh fruit.  We know President Bill Clinton loved Big Macs, but he's also listed bananas and apples as some of his favorite foods.  So what about our current President?  President Barak Obama's listed vegetables, especially broccoli and spinach, as some of his favorite foods.

Any surprises?  What are your favorites?
