President Nixon's Farewell Corned Beef Hash
"This recipe is called Nixon's farewell breakfast because on the morning he was going to resign, he asked the White House Chef Henry Haller to make him something special. Nixon veered off from his usual breakfast of wheat germ and coffee that day. Still clad in his pajamas, he asked that the hash be served to him in the Lincoln Sitting Room. While there, Alexander Haig came into the room carrying the simple, one-sentence typed resignation, which Nixon then signed. This is a single serving recipe, so when making it for a family always quadruple the ingredients"
