That's Tempeh?

Well I did it. I Tried tempeh for the first time this evening. (no not a vegan, just a curious eater) Met one of my college "Art Major" friends at, Blossom, this vegan cafe in my neighborhood. It's a charming place where descriptions on the menu out-taste the food. Not sure whether it was the way it was prepared, Moroccan glazed tempeh, (sounds yummy) but it really wasn't all that. I loved the chickpea, eggplant, tomato, sweet potato, spicy stew on the bottom. There was just no way getting around the strange consolidated texture and the nutty almost bitter flavor of the tempeh.

Strangely my Metrocard went missing this afternoon. Frustration. Silly me putting twenty new dollars onto my Starbucks card and slipping it into that same case :(

I guess there are worse things.

  1. I definitely agree about the descriptions out-tasting the food! And, I think I'm gonna stick with my usual order next time :)

  2. pfft. three words: barbecued seitan skewers.

    also, next time have the oyster mushroom po'boy. it'll blow your mind! (if you have a mind for mushrooms.) also: fettucini alfredo. but they can hold the gardein soy chicken-y patty.
