FOOD BUZZ: For Obamaphiles and sushi lovers who've read Bottomfeeder : spam sushi! A pool report yesterday noted that our president-elect ordered two pieces of sushi musubi during his golf-outing in Hawaii. Apparently, it's made with fried egg and a piece of Spam and is something of a local delicacy. It's kind of surprising that Mr. Arugula is down with the Spam, but whatever it takes to get that six-pack , I support.
