Sat, Sep 8 2007 - Vegetarian Food Fair (View Original Event Details)
|  |
I truly had no idea how busy and BIG the Vegetarian Food Fair was going to be!
It was, however, obvious quite quickly that there was no way that all of us could mosey from one display to another in one giant pack, so we split up into ones and twos and agreed to meet together in an hour. There was a lot to see – and most of it seemed to be soy-based! LOL Okay, that’s a *slight* exaggeration.
A great thing about the fair is that you could sample a wide range of products – from low-G.I. granola bars to vegan ice cream to vegetarian dim sum to surprisingly tasty faux chicken – for free or for relatively little money. It was a good event to go to with an empty stomach!
Not everything was a hit … some “chicken balls” met up with a garbage can shortly after purchase, and a certain mocha-flavoured granola bar tasted like old coffee grounds, but on the whole I think everyone enjoyed the exploration of the various vegetarian options.
It was great to meet Lisa, Rachel, Ron, Adele, Helena, Sharla, and Rachel for the first time, and of course a pleasure to hang out again with Marco, Peter, Jenny, David, Fiona, Yin, and Pat! Thanks for coming out with me on this culinary adventure!
