@cookinwithcongress: Eating like Ulysses S Grant for an entire day. This man loved his cigars, so much so that they were undoubtedly a partial case of his eventual death in his early 60s. What an odd day — cigar city, a little whiskey (but less than you think), extreme-well-done steak, bread balls, two fish and a silly amount of coffee. You can usually smell the military folks who went into the White House, the coffee amounts are HIGH. I’m singing the praises of flannel cakes forever, by the way. Recipe coming soon for sure. #TikTokLearningCampaign #USHistory #foodreview

I think he hated blood because he was a general in the civil war not him being a general inspite of his hate of blood.

if he cut out the cigars, his diet actually wasnt that bad compared to the other presidents.

I knew it! In 5th grade, I wrote a report on Ulysses S. Grant and mentioned how he loved cucumbers and vinegar. My teacher tried correcting me to say it was just a pickle, but I knew that they had pickles back then and it didn't say pickles. 😂

The reasoning behind the well done steak is STELLAR. I hate to imagine all that he had seen. Love your videos.

Some day when you need a "break" you should put together the most diabolical single day of meals you could make from all the presidents. That breakfast would have to be up there.

Ulysses S Grant is one of my favorite historical figures. Excellent horseman, fine writer, loving husband & dad, humble, geographic/map whiz. Etc….

THANK YOU for dispelling the “Grant was a drunk” myth. He’s one of America’s greatest heroes

He died of throat cancer not long after finishing his personal memoir due to throat cancer. By that time in his life, his family was impoverished, but the book was a best seller and supported them after his passing, which is what he wanted. I haven't finished reading the first volume yet. But he was a rather humble man

Ahhhh I love your videos but as a non-smoking lung cancer survivor the cigar smoking gave me such anxiety. My missing right lower lobe says it’s not worth it!
