Melania Trump is very specific about her dietary preferences and is making it known. The upcoming FLOTUS revealed that there is one food she would never eat. The 54-year-old discussed the matter in her book titled ‘Melania’.
Melania was recently spotted at Jimmy Carter’s funeral with her husband, Donald Trump. The First Lady’s attire caused a lot of buzz amongst the netizens. The black and white Valentino dress that Melania wore was trolled by critics. People drew parallels between her outfit and a nun’s.
In her book Melania, the then-first lady mentioned how she is against eating raw fish. The memoir also mentions a situation from 4 years ago where she made sure her dietary preferences were considered.
Melania accompanied Donald to Japan in May 2019 during his first term as President of the US. During their trip, the two were expected to dine at the Imperial Palace for a formal meal. The upcoming First Lady revealed how she had to make it known that she would not be consuming raw fish which is a staple in Japanese cuisine. “I made it known that I do not eat raw fish,” she writes in the book.
