Food roundup for may 27

Here’s what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

Stick a Fork In It is reporting on the amazing recession proof qualities of Spam. The tougher times get, the more the unwashed masses crave their spiced canned ham.

Meanwhile, Bites has some news about the actual impact of restaurants posting calorie counts. Apparently shame is a more motivating factor than anyone ever could have anticipated.

Eating Our Words has the top 5 cold drinks for warm weather. Even though there’s really no substitute for a nice cold glass of Clamato, it somehow failed to make the cut.

And lastly, also in beverage news, everyone’s favorite Jewish beer “He-Brew” is having a contest for its 13th birthday. For contest rules check out the previous link at Cafe Society. Gentiles need not apply.
