Fried Peanut Butter & Banana
Elvis was famously a fan of the Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich, a hollowed-out loaf of sourdough bread filled with peanut butter, strawberry jam, and bacon.
The Fool's Gold Loaf was
only available at one Denver restaurant, so when at home, Elvis made peanut butter and banana sandwiches fried in a skillet.
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs, egg whites filled and topped off with a variety of ingredients, are popular in the South, and Elvis Presley reportedly shared some with the Beatles.
Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes
Elvis couldn't get enough of the classic pairing of meatloaf and mashed potatoes. According to his ex-wife, he ate it every single day for six months.
Coconut Cake
Coconut cakes are popular desserts in the South, and while Elvis loved his beloved mother's coconut cake, he preferred it to be made without any icing or glaze.
Banana Pudding
Just days before the singer's death, Elvis seemed to have an extremely late night craving, calling for his friend Marian Cocke to bring over banana pudding at 3 A.M.
