Which Dictator Do You Eat Like?

Dictators make for an interesting crop of people. You need to be a little bit "off" in order to believe that you have the right to rule millions of people with an iron fist, and in many cases their dietary choices reflected that off-kilter mindset. Some dictators' diets were dictated by paranoia, while others simply ate weird things because they were weird people. Here are the favorite (or most commonly eaten) foods of some of history's most infamous dictators, according to the BBC, The Telegraph, and Thrillist.
