Vegan Food & My Vegan Restaurant Experience
Vegan food always plays better in the mind than on the palate. While typically very beautiful and appetizing in appearance, it mystifies me that the sum of vegan food is always dramatically less than its' individual ingredients.
It is almost as if vegans are afraid of spice? Perhaps they think the grinding process is cruel. I love plain vegetables more than the average person but when you have a dish that is heavy on the rough rice how about a little something-something to make it dance. Those darn vegans are giving healthy food a bad reputation.
And why are all the employees at vegan restaurants smokers? Is smoking vegan? They should crush some of their clove cigarettes into my dinner next time to make it more interesting.
And lastly, one of the women working at this particular vegan restaurant had the smallest feet I have ever seen on an adult. I thought she might just tip over if someone held the door open too long and a breeze blew in. Oddly, I did find those tiny feet somewhat intriguing which makes me think the Chinese were on to something with that whole foot binding process. Maybe I'm just hoping to interbreed to spare my children of the inconvenience of the Fred Flintstone feet I've got.
