U.S. Presidents’ Favorite Foods

Harry S. Truman

Truman famously said, "The buck stops here." The food that stopped in front of him was likely to be fried or roast chicken — not surprising for a man who grew up on a farm. He also didn't have time for fussy eaters: "Learned in the army to eat what could be obtained and like it. In my outfit when a man kicked about the food, he was given a chance to improve it. That soon cured the kickers and they took what was put before them and liked it."
