13. Richard Nixon

When Nixon arrived at the White House (1968), he ensured that his favorite dishes were made on a regular basis. His favorite one was the all-American meatloaf.

As cited in the “The White House Family Cookbook,” the president’s favorite dish, namely meatloaf, caught the public’s imagination so rapidly that the first lady’s meatloaf recipe was printed at the White House in order to be sent to thousands of requests.

14. Gerald Ford

“The White House Family Cookbook” has again some clear information about Ford’s food choices. According to the book, Gerald Ford’s favorite food was the German Apple Pancake. Other food choices were muffins, fruit, jam, and margarine, and as for lunch, soap, meat, and potatoes were his favorite picks.

15. Jimmy Carter

Although Carter was seen as a peanut farmer from Georgia, peanuts weren’t his favorite snack. During his presidency, the White House’s popular menus were crab gumbo, trifle cake, and shrimp gumbo. The Carters also enjoyed rice, grits, red beans, and cornbread.
