National Archives Hosts Presidential Palette Exhibit

If you've ever wondered how LBJ liked his chili, what was in JFK's clam chowder, or wanted to read Eisenhower’s three-page treatise on vegetable soup, the What's Cooking Uncle Sam? exhibit might be for you. From the article: "Beyond presidential menus and Queen Elizabeth’s recipe for scones sent to Eisenhower, curators looked back at the history of farming, food processing, nutrition guidelines and the effects of military food and school lunches. The exhibit includes the story of explorers sent around the world by the U.S. Agriculture Department in the late 1800s and early 1900s to find seeds and plants to cross-breed and help American crops survive harsh climates."
