Wondering what the former president liked to eat? Fortunately, the Kennedy Library provides an answer. In March 1961, a handicapped girl named Lynn Jennings wrote to Kennedy asking what he liked to eat. "Please reply to her," Kennedy's secretary advised in a handwritten memo. "She will be extremely happy. Do not mention anything in the letter about her handicap please!" Kennedy passed along the recipe for New England Fish Chowder, one of his favorite dishes.
