Things Younger Than John McCain [Food Edition]


I’ve written oodles about the food aspects of this year’s presidential campaigns, from the recipe for Obama Pie, to the politics of pie and cookies, to the litmus test of operating a convenience store beverage dispenser.

In the interest of equal time, we should mention our latest favorite food-meets-politics site: Things Younger Than Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain.

McCain was born Aug. 29, 1936. Some of the food items that came after he was born include:
