Yes, Pecan!
This article about Obama's culinary tastes is hilarious.
"This month, Ben & Jerry's renamed its pints of butter pecan ice cream to the more timely "Yes Pecan," donating funds to an educational organization."
...
"Early last year, when the Obamas said pizza from Italian Fiesta Pizzeria in Chicago was their favourite, co-owner Patti Harris-Tubbs says people called her up to say, "I'll have whatever Obama likes." But Ms. Harris-Tubbs isn't sure which pie that is."
It goes on to talk about how to celebrate his inaugration with food, which sounded sort of odd.

LittleRed says...The weirdest part, I thought - his "right-hand man" was quoted as saying one of Obama's favorite foods is Nicorette. If I practically inhaled nicotine replacement gum, I wouldn't want everyone to know about it.
KrupoTrue - though they totally pride themselves on being "open"/honest about everything, warts and all. Weird for sure though!
LittleRed says...Well I guess what I thought was so strange was 1) that his minion classified it as a food, 2) that he actually likes the stuff, and 3) that I've never seen him with a cancer stick in his hand. I've never smoked, so I haven't had to quit, but I was under the impression that you would wean yourself off the gum much like you previously weaned yourself off the cancer sticks. Obama was in the media's light for well over a year, and I never saw him with one... and that's a long time to be taking nicotine replacement therapy stuff.
