The recently renovated and reopened White House Visitor Center features a dinner table display of what some presidents ate and asks vistors to guess who ordered certain items.

In addition to the foods pictured here, the plates in the “Who Ordered That?” exhibit also ask which residents of the White House preferred jelly beans, cottage cheese and squirrel soup. (The answers are under the plates.)

The center is located on the first floor of the Commerce Department at 1450 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. It is open from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. daily (except January 1, Thanksgiving, and December 25). Admission is free.
