I'm in Berlin!

So there's about 45 all vegan restaurants in Berlin. How many have I been to? Hm. Like 10 I think. Let's see:

1. Ohlala (like a french bakery?)
2. Let it Be (crepes named after celebs)
3. Fast Rabbit Food (tasty wraps and smoothies)
4. Voener (vegan doeners and chzy fries)
5. Tofu Tussis (tofu salads and tofu meatballs and such and tofu classes)
6. Sun Day Burgers (tofu sandwich with tasty sauces and veggies)
7. Rawtastic (raw food)
8. Kontor Ice Cream
9. Yoyo World (pizza and burgers and fries)
10. Velicious (bakery and some soups)
11. Brammibal's Donuts (Store Front opens May 22nd! while I'm here!)
12. Chaotheorie Bar (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
13. Vegan Tiger (didn't buy anything yet but I looked, no bathroom and I had to pee!)
14. L'herbivore (like a vegan butcher shop with seitan burgers)
15. Veganz (all vegan grocery store- the feeling is wonderful in here)
16. The Bowl (on top of Veganz on Warschauer)
17. Goodies (in both Veganz- the one on Warschauer not in Veganz is not all vegan! so pay attention to signage)
18. Huong Sen (vietnamese)

I didn't buy anything at the Bowl or Goodies yet.

Tomorrow is a holiday. I wonder what will be open.

This has been a really fun experience.

I need to make another list of places to go to. :)

Easter Vegan Egg Time

So I've been gnawing on the Moo Free Honeycomb Easter Egg. It's at least 6 inches tall and hollow. The chocolate quality is great. I love Premier Chocolates but sometimes the chocolate bars can be a little waxy. I know Park+Vine. The vegan store where I work got a new shipment of easter stuff from them so I'll have to get their easter offering. I love the peanot m&m's though.

Vegan Chili and Corn Bread

I was flipping through my old Chickpea magazines and I decided to make chili and cornbread. Both turned out great.

In the chili I used Butler's soy curls but then it was like chick'n chili and I didn't like that but the seasoning was good and Bakersfield liked it.

The cornbread turned out a tad bit crispy on the outside so next time I will use liners.

Piping Gourmet Mint Whoopie Pie

This was delicious. Like an andes mint cake. I love how you can pull these out of the freezer and let them thaw out for a bit. A lot of times I just want cake and this is perfect to stash away.

Sticky Fingers in DC

An all vegan bakery in DC. Lucky me! So we had chocolate chip cookies and a devil's food cake. The cookies tasted like tollhouse. The cake was moist and a big portion. Bakersfield thought there was too much icing but he's always like that.

It's funny that vegan desserts also have to compete with the "other" desserts. My values are reflected in my food choices not my tastebuds leading my values or ignorance of animal abuse. Even if vehan desserts tasted like cardboard I'd gobble it down with a shit-eating grin.

Woodlands Vegan Restaurant in DC

Yum! Heaping portions!

Beyond Meat Southwestern Tenders

These were great. The crispy breading was spot on. They were kind of small and I thought I would eat the whole bag, but with a large helping of rice noodles and vegetables 4 tenders was perfect. The spice was minimal and I could have used more, but I will buy these again, definitely.
