Gunning Bedford, Sr. (April 7, 1742 â September 30, 1797) was an American lawyer and politician from New Castle, in New Castle County, Delaware. He was an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and a member of the Federalist Party, who served in the Delaware General Assembly and as Governor of Delaware. He is often confused with his cousin, Gunning Bedford, Jr., who was a delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention of 1787.
However, the peanut butter and banana sandwich has been referred to as a favorite of Elvis Presley. Books on Elvis Presleyâs favorite foods and culinary tastes, as well as other published reports on his taste for peanut butter and banana sandwiches with or without bacon, have made the sandwich widely associated with Presley.
He had a strong affection for down home southern cooking. Breakfast was often biscuits fried in butter, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and bacon. Cornbread, collard greens, chitlins, and ham were favorites, as were meatloaf, grits, black-eyed peas, cheeseburgers, mash potatoes and gravy, and barbecue pizza. His favorite soft drink was Pepsi. He did not like seafood. One of the foods most associated with Elvis is the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.
