ARUGULA?  —  When did arugula become the new latte?  Newsweek is using it as the counterpoint to beer (which, though drunk by hipsters and sold in Trader Joe's, apparently denotes blue collar cred), but does that register with folks?  Arugula just looks like...lettuce.  I couldn't even identify it offhand.
