Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you've stayed up watching convention speeches all this week and plan to next week as well, you, my friend, are a political junkie. The fact that you're reading Slashfood probably means that you're also a foodie. You're not alone. The LA Times recently published an article on political cookbooks, and there's a long and entertaining tradition.
From the "How to eat like a Republican" to the "Watergate Cookbook", to being the White House chef, the LA Times covers it all. There are even a couple of Axis of Evil cookbooks. It seems that wherever the worlds of food and politics collide, there's never a dull moment. What is some of your favorite politically motivated foodie literature?

My great aunt was a political columnist for the NY Daily News at the time. It had many recipes from people in politics and the press. Some names that catch the eye include: Eleanor Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mrs. Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, Arthur Godfrey and my aunt Ruth Montgomery to name a few.
Many of the recipes are simple and very different. Fun to look through.
