Presidential Food Taster

Saw the news yesterday how "o" wouldn't eat his lobster dinner an some event because "his food taster was not there"...

Now I ask this : Has any other US President employed an official "food taster" ?

I sure as hell wouldn't have the job because I would think that the odds would not be in my favor...

Your thinking ?

"According to a Washington Post article from July 1990, George H.W. Bush ate out at Washington restaurants a lot by presidential standards, about once a month, and when he did he brought along his own condiments, bottled water, and a taster. On at least one occasion the taster was seen to personally wash all of George and Barbara's tableware before use and subsequently monitor its whereabouts, sample the food, supervise its service, and uncork and taste the first couple's wine."

Has any other US President employed an official "food taster" ? I think it comes with the job, not really something or someone that the president hires personally for the job.

And you must have no life. Funny how you have the amazing foresight to label someone after they post 3 sentences a "leftie". Don't know me buddy so shut the hell up.

It's called insight, not foresight. It comes from observation that the lefties usually revert to name-calling when they have exhausted their arguments.

I didn't join a newsletter on photography to be belittled by you. You may bully everyone else in your little world, but you're not going to bully me.

No bullying here. Just lots of opinions. The chit-chat room is for general events and other discussions not related to photography. If you want the photography discussions, they can be found in the main photography site or the numerous specialized sections.

I think he is wise. There are republicans everywhere. Judging from those on this forum, the danger is real
