Who Wants Spam Sushi? Barack Obama Does...

Posted by Scanner Matt


 

Is this a local delicacy or a bad habit?

According to a New York Times pool report covering Obama's recent vacation in Hawaii, the president-elect likes the stuff.

 

As for Mr. Obama and his group, a snack bar clerk later confirmed that he purchased two hot dogs, two spam musubi, two passion orange sodas, one Powerade and one coke, for a tab of $17.75. The spam musubi, a local luncheon specialty, consists of spam and a fried egg on a bed of rice, all held together with a dried seaweed wrap.

 

Hungry? Here's how you make it:

Seriously, Hawaiian folks love their spam. I have family who lived over there for a few years and they act like it's totally normal to fry up some spam for breakfast  as though spam isn't a disgusting joke. I guess during wars, when hawaii's food supplies were limited, spam was govt. issue and everyone came up with thousands of completely gross ways of eating it. Paradise it is not.

OK, the stupid debate over whether Obama is really American has to end right now. Only a true citizen of the 50th state would eat spam musubi. Case closed.
