Extraordinary people are often extraordinary in everything, including food preferences. The article will tell about what Lukashenka does not accept, about what habit could have brought Fidel Castro to the grave much earlier than at the age of 90, and about much more.
1. Fidel Castro drank an unimaginable amount of caffeine and lived to be 90
The Cuban dictator Fidel Castro had a special employee on staff who trained all new members of the team of chefs to be ready to serve the leader's favorite drink at any time. He prepared like this. A small espresso coffee cup was taken, and 8 teaspoons of instant coffee was put in it. Freshly brewed strong Cuban coffee was immediately added right there. The result was a burning drink completely different from the known robusta and arabica, which, according to the people who surrounded the commandante, no one for fun, experiment or for a bet could not even swallow. 8 teaspoons of sugar was added to the mixed vigorous and thickest coffee. Fidel was served this coffee every 10-15 minutes. Castro washed down the drink with rum, while smoking a cigar. Surprisingly, the Comandante lived for 90 years! So now believe in the harm of caffeine abuse.
2. Joseph Stalin could not stand the smell of cooking food
Joseph Stalin could not stand the smell of cooking food due to the fact that his mother was a cook. For this, the chief's attendants had to perform certain manipulations. The kitchen was always closed tightly, if one of the servants forgot to close the kitchen door or open it for more than three seconds, a severe punishment was imposed. When the food was ready, the cooks and maids carried the food to the table in pots and pans, covered with heavy lids and wrapped in thick towels. The food was very quickly put on the leader's plate, after which it was instantly carried away, it was not left on the table.
3. The Queen of England eats homemade cake every day
The most favorite dish of the current monarch of Great Britain, Elizabeth II - homemade chocolate cake with cookies. According to the close persons, the queen eats this dish almost every day. It's hard to argue with the fact that such a cake is just a riot of fast carbs and sugar. However, the queen is already 93 years old and is in excellent health. You can search for a clue for a long time, and it will most likely be hidden in the first-class team of doctors who live in the Queen's residence and are on the alert 24/7.
Interesting fact. The Queen of Great Britain is by no means a gourmet, as many mistakenly believe. She prefers rather modest meals.
4. The favorite dish of the President of Belarus is milk soup
In an interview with the Lithuanian Courier newspaper, the Belarusian leader said: “I am an adherent of our simple Belarusian cuisine. If these are pancakes, then pancakes. The most delicious for me is milk soup. I love milk soup. I haven't eaten bacon since childhood, and if I eat bacon now, then quite a bit. Only ordinary salads. They say that you have to eat seaweed... I can eat it sometimes through force, but it disgusts me. I am a supporter of what we have here grows. Also dried fruits, dried fruit compote, as doctors recommend for such physical exertion. "
Interesting fact. In 2016, the "father" of Belarusians lost 13 kilograms by counting calories. An interesting fact is that the president only stuck to 1,800 calories a day. Lukashenko, as many people know, is involved in several sports (like his youngest son Nikolai), among which is hockey.

Besides! With age, the Belarusian leader came to a healthier diet, to which he urges all Belarusians: “We don't want to go in for sports - that's why we are. And it’s even worse: we’re eating anything, anyhow! We poison ourselves by eating! I don’t want to tell here, I myself have tried a lot. But why eat meat and potatoes? Well, you eat it with anything else! But why do you eat meat with this bulb at night and go to bed? How will you sleep? How will you wake up in the morning? " In the opinion of the Novate editors. Ru, golden words!

5. Emmanuel Macron is crazy about cordon blue
France's current leader, Emmanuel Macron, has a culinary weakness: he loves the cordon blue. For those who don't know, this is veal schnitzel, breaded in breadcrumbs, stuffed with cheese and ham. It doesn't sound very useful, but what can you do... To compensate for the harmfulness of this dish, the first lady of France, Brigitte, diligently makes sure that her husband does not eat anything from fast food.
Interesting fact. With his future wife, who is 24 years older than him, the current president of France met... on the school bench, being her student. His teacher later became his wife. The couple have no children, they declare that they are not interested in it. Well... We draw conclusions ourselves, and also note that both the Hollywood magnate and the president of the country still need a wife, but children do not.
