PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITE FOODS

Richard M. Nixon (1969-1974) Cottage Cheese and Ketchup

Nixon had an odd political agenda, as well as an odd obsession with pairing cottage cheese and ketchup. According to the December 3, 1969 issue of the Reading Eagle newspaper, the president felt inclined to eat the cheese because of health and diet reasons, adding the classic American condiment to liven up its rather bland flavor.
