#20: Rutherford B. Hayes – Corn

Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th president of the United States, could have indulged in all the luxuries the presidency offers, but his tastes were refreshingly simple. While some might dream of extravagant renovations or gourmet feasts, Hayes was content with a more humble favorite: corn.

A staunch teetotaler who avoided alcohol, Hayes embraced corn in every form imaginable. His love for this versatile staple knew no bounds, from golden fritters and hearty chowder to classic cornbread and sweet corn cakes.
