He is famous for disliking broccoli
It's one thing to dislike a specific meal; George H.W. Bush's dislike of broccoli was perfectly ordinary. However, when he forbade it aboard Air Force One, the president's aircraft, George H.W. Bush made this a well-known fun fact about him. When he was asked about that, he simply said: "I do not like broccoli, and I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli!”.
President George H.W. Bush has always had a huge appetite, and he brought up vegetables during a news conference on events in Europe. In order to prevent smearing his shirt and tie, he sometimes shovels his food into his mouth while hunched over his plate.
The President's favorite foods are beef jerky, nachos, tacos, guacamole, chile, refried beans, hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecued ribs, candies, popcorn, ice cream, and cake, all of which can be found at baseball games, fast-food restaurants, or 7-Elevens. Even when he eats healthy foods like yogurt or oat bran, he makes an effort to add Butterfingers or another flavoring to give it a little zip.
