There are a number of Turkish places that deliver to us, and I can't actually remember where I got this one from. But it is a falafel plate, which comes with falafel, dolmades, kale salad, hummus (I got two serves of hummus as the only other vegan dip was a spicy one) and some chips. This was fine, but the falafel fell victim to being a bit dry and and heavy.
Another poke bowl from Cheeki. Unfortunately, the Cheeki closest to us has closed down, so this was from the one a bit further away. The quality was sadly not very good, and I ended up throwing out a lot of this because it was making me feel bit nauseous, so I'm sad to say we won't be ordering from them again. Got the kombucha that tastes like a strepsil as well.
Grill'd! Love Grill'd! I made my own burger for this one, with satay sauce, lettuce, carrot, a Fable patty, cheese, pineapple, and vegan mayo. As always served with a side of their incredible chips.
Sometimes you just need a giant serve of very inauthentic Mexican food, and in those times Montezuma's comes through. This is their vegan burrito, which I think I have shared before. I love that it comes with a side of their incredible crunchy and fresh salad. The salad has green apple in it, which I particularly enjoy.
Finally, I promised hot dogs. And here they are! Five Dogs is a place with vegan hot dogs that delivers to us. I got the Vegan Maple Bacon Dog first up. The hot dog itself is maple bacon flavoured, but it is kind of strange. It comes with kraut as standard, and I got BBQ sauce. I also got a serve of their vegan poutine. Their serves of chips are huge! Their gravy is vegan, which is great. But I haven't got the poutine since because you are essentially paying extra for a tiny sprinkle of cold vegan grated cheese. I stick to just the fries and gravy now.
I also got their Vegan BBQ hotdog, and I much prefer the vegan BBQ sausage to the other one. It comes with kraut, and I got it with some pineapple as well just for fun.

Abby and I had such a short time together, I didn't get a chance to share many photos of her. So going back into my archives. The fact that Abby felt happy and safe enough to lie on her back like this was a massive achievement for this little scaredy cat. She had such a brave and loving soul.

A dry falafel that's more like a hockey puck is such a disappointment. I've had one good one in my life where they were moist and flavorful and they used to flatten it a little when they put it in a wrap and the tahini dressing was out of this world. Haven't had a falafel like it since. I need to add green apple to my salads because that sounds so good! Sweet and beautiful Abby! It is truly a gift when a formerly scared or nervous animal feels safe enough so it can let its guard down with you. I had a rescued rabbit that would lay in my arms like a baby, so rare a prey animal will allow that. Makes me happy that they finally got to trust humans. We're not all bad.
ReplyDeleteA good falafel is trule incredible.
DeleteIt is so incredibly special when an animal that is very nervous decides to trust you. I will treasure forever that Abby thought I was worthy for her love.
That doesn't sound like a very good interpretation of poutine. But gravy does sound good!
ReplyDeleteMost places here you the term poutine very loosely.
