Elvis' Favorite Foods

Much has been said and written about Elvis and food. Most of it has been greatly exaggerated or misrepresented. Here's some thoughtful and balanced reporting.

Elvis' environment while growing up did not expose him to gourmet cuisine. He ate simple, down-home, country cooking. As an adult he never acquired a taste for more elaborate fare. Some of his favorite foods were pork chops, meat loaf and steak. He liked his meats well done, saying he was "not ordering a pet." He liked fresh vegetables like crowder peas, creamed potatoes,
and sliced tomatoes. A favorite from his youth was a Southern delicacy he referred to as "soaks", which is cornbread in buttermilk. He also liked cheeseburgers and milkshakes. He did not care for seafood.

He had a fondness for banana pudding and another Southern delicacy - the peanut butter and banana sandwich. The recipe: It is quite simply a grilled sandwich similar to a grilled cheese in preparation. On lightly toasted bread spread peanut butter. Layer with lengthwise slices of banana. Then grill it in a skillet with butter or margarine until browned. These are best served when warm.

A man after my own heart! All my meat has to be well done and I hate sea food!
Although I must say I tried a peanut butter and banana sandwich whilst in the Graceland cafe and didnt like it much

When it comes to steak, my preference is medium rare and I love seafood (my fav being King Fish and Lobster) Oh I love Sushi, all kinds.

Can you imagine Elvis stood at the toaster in his concert get up? Unless he was really hungry after a gig and couldnt be bothered changing...... hmmmm no I dont think so

omg what a plonker, he didnt even cut the banana length ways and basically didnt know what he was doing, think he was making it up as he goes along, i think hes taking the piss personally. specially with some of the phrasing he comes out with he wernt sure weather to cut it in half or into sqaures, and the way he walks over to the frying pan. what an insult.
