Hi, everyone!

Well, the taste-testing operation was, on the whole, a pretty significant failure. 

The kettle corn was really good, but that was about it. All of the dairy substitute products (including the yogurt I thought I liked when I tried it before) have bad textures (namely, way too hard/dense) and a violently offensive aftertaste that can only be described as "stale coconut farts." The Hippeas had kind of a funky aftertaste, although not nearly as bad as the Babybel rounds or the "cream cheese." 

To reward myself for surviving such indignities, I decided to invoke my right to order in once per week today, and I ordered in from the only vegan place in town. I got a grilled buffalo chickpea flatbread with vegan mozzarella (that did NOT taste like tropical toots,) roasted corn, little bits of tomato, chickpeas, pickled onions, and green onion. Y'all, look how gorgeous this thing was: 

Until next time,

Simone
