Richard Nixon’s Ketchup Cottage Cheese
Nixon’s strange food preference raised eyebrows among White House kitchen staff. The 37th president regularly ate cottage cheese covered in ketchup, requesting this odd combination almost daily. He even ordered it on Air Force One during his presidency from 1969 to 1974. Some staff members connected this unusual taste to his frugal upbringing during the Depression. Nixon never offered an explanation for this peculiar culinary choice.
