Would You Eat a Spam Taco?

I love spam musubi. And I love tacos.

But should those two foods be combined in some sort of Hawaiian/Mexican love child?

L.A. Weekly's Squid Ink blog writes that the L&L Drive Inn franchisee in Eagle Rock (on York) is testing a spam taco:

(The taco consists of) the canned ham product smothered in kimchee sauce and wrapped in a tortilla. It's what L&L is calling their gogi tacos, or Mexi-Hawaiian fusion tacos.

Besides Spam, the tacos, which sell for $1.50 each, come in beef, chicken, Kahlua pig, short rib and katsu. You can add a red sauce made with kimchee and Sriracha hot chili sauce, or a green sauce made with tomatillos and jalapeños.

I would think you'd need to add a little rice in there too. I dunno, I may pass on this one...

Spam of the Day: New York's Ex-Governor Has Been Busy

Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer -- er, "Spitzerr" -- apparently has a lot of free time on his hands.

(Seriously, spammers, if you're trying to trick me into reading and responding to your emails, terribly fake names like this won't quite work.)
