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.
