All the presidents' menus

Sarah Marshall chronicles presidential eating habits. Here's the entry for Franklin D. Roosevelt:
Creamed chipped beef, corned beef hash with poached eggs, bread pudding, fried cornmeal mush with maple syrup, kippered herring, kedgeree, Welsh rarebit, doughnuts, scrambled eggs for dinner on Sunday nights, lobster, steak, soup with fairy toast, and apple pie. Terrapins, caviar, and foie gras on occasion. When King George VI and Queen Elizabeth toured United States—making them the first reigning British monarchs to visit America—the Roosevelts served them hot dogs.
