Vote with your stomach
So you don’t think everything is political?
Restaurants and hotels in Washington, D.C., are serving up politically slanted dishes. There’s the Palin roll at sushi restaurants, made with Alaskan salmon and spicy mayo. There are Chicago-style sausages and Arizona baby back ribs.
It gets more complex, with special wine lists:
At Oya Restaurant & Lounge, sommelier Andrew Stover has developed three themed wine flights—”The Conservative,” with wines from Republican-leaning districts in Idaho, Arizona, and Michigan; “The Liberal,” featuring Illinois, New York, and California wines; and “The Battleground,” with wines from Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia.
One bakery just outside D.C. in Alexandria, Va., is selling cookies shaped like elephant ears and donkey tails—so far they’ve sold more donkey tails. Not surprising considering northern Virginia usually votes Democrat. Maybe the cookies will indicate who will win the battleground state.

Those cookies might be a better indicator than a poll. If elephants come close to donkey sales in Alexandria, it is good news for Republicans. Alexandria is SOLID Democrat.

Are they the same kind of cookie?

PS – If i were going to make a Sarah Palin inspired dish at an Asian restaurant, I’d make it something with fetal chicken!

Wouldn’t that be an egg?
Methinks that enterprising Americans are cashing in on the current political season…which is decadent capitalism and completely okay with me.
If I was to make a dish inspired by the Big BO it would be pork gravy with a cigarette extinguised in it. It would turn your stomach on the way down and leave you with a bad after-taste.

Mickel,
Didn’t you mean crack pipe and a smoke?

Llama – or plastic dog vomit ladled with luke-warm lard and…well, okay, your’s was better.

Presidential menu at the restaurant of your choosing:
1. The Obama Hot Dog
This dog is loaded with ketchup, mustard, relish (lots!), onions, salt pork, cheese, chile, and whatever other coverings you can request! Because we have had complaints about this before, we will warn you that once you remove all the toppings, you’ll discover only a tiny mini-wiener remains in the bun. This is defintely a show stopper to see though, but very low on substance once you get past all the relish et al so be prepared.
For a side we suggest our Biden Low Sodium Saltine Crackers. They are very plain, bland, stiff, and a bit too old for eating actually. But this makes them a perfect accompanyment to the frill filled Obama Dog.
We were going to offer our Clintons Very Hot and Spicy Buffalo Wings with the Obama Dog but we realized the two combined would be fighting for your taste buds attention and would not settle very well in your digestive tract.
2. The McCain Loaded Pizza
This is our signature item filled with 30 years of experience in pizza making. It is loaded with most of the essential foods necessary for your daily diet. All toppings are applied moderately including the cheese and sauce. The crust is a bit older but it is from a classic crust recipe that you can trust. What you see on your plate is what you will get in your mouth, a good solid slice of pizza developed from years of experience.
For a side, we suggest being a little daring and trying our Palin Speciality Salad. It is loaded with all the freshest of vegetables. This salad is a perfect supplement to the McCain Pizza. This combo is truly a meal the entire family can enjoy and feel good about eating. Also, the salad looks great no matter what type of dressing you put on it. You’ll love it and your kids will love it too!

Hmm, it appears I’d be a conservative who enjoys wine from liberal states.

Mmmm-mmmm! How much for the pizza and salad? I’m surprised no one has mentioned chit’lin’s yet. Or waffles. Guess we’ve already had a bait of those!
Concerning the cookies — would you want to eat the one representing your party or your opponent’s? I’d like my donkey tail cookie extra well done, please. And well crumbled.

Chalzz, I hear the Biden crackers taste exactly like the Kennedy bread from years before. I mean they taste exactly alike. You can’t even tell the difference. It’s like they used the same recipe or something.

L. O. L. I love it!
Let’s see, how about chocolates?
Obama would be a cordial cherry, a little too sweet to handle, but interesting to have around.
Biden would be plain milk chocolate with questionable filling.
McCain would be an old classic, dark chocolate with peanut butter inside. Hmm, peanut butter’s a little stale…
Palin would be something interesting, like a coconut truffle.
Order today, and get the exclusive crispy Libertarian nuggets, and the strawberry Communist party chocolates!
