MUAMMAR GADDAFI






Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was famously flatulent on account of his love for camel milk. Apparently, Gaddafi was simple about his food and was happy with a meal of couscous with camel meat or lamb. In an interview with The Guardian, his former nurse Oksana Balinskay revealed that like all Libyans, Gaddafi also liked Italian food, especially pasta.

MAO ZEDONG






Mao Zedong was fairly simple. It all sums up in a simple statement he once made to a comrade: “I eat a lot and I excrete a lot.” His love for meat was also well-known.

JOSEPH STALIN






Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s taste had a hint of bourgeois to it. One of his favourite dishes was Satsivi, a Georgian specialty, which is served as a starter and is extremely labour-intensive to prepare.
