President Ulysses S. Grant had unique food preferences, such as pickles, coffee, and a penchant for rice pudding with lemon zest, even at lavish White House dinners.
Grant's love for rice pudding was well-known, with the dessert often being served after extravagant dinners, despite efforts to bring luxury to White House meals.
Grant's special rice pudding recipe with lemon zest was appreciated by guests such as journalist Emily Edson Briggs, who praised it for its nostalgic appeal.
His rice pudding recipe was later shared in 'The Presidents' Cookbook,' and while a version was published, its authenticity as Grant's original recipe remains unconfirmed.
