My wife brought us home a surprise last night. On her way home, she stopped at Whole Foods and bought some tastiness from the deli.
We split the beet burger (upper right). It was ok. She liked it a lot more than I did. The texture was nice, but the flavor didn’t appeal to me. In the upper left, was the wild rice and cranberry roast. The pastry crust was awesome as was the “meat”. The cranberry/wild rice middle was just ok; I thought a bit of a let down with how awesome the crust was. The roasted harvest vegetables were awesome. She asked the girl for extra Brussels sprouts too. yum. The veggies were my favorite from this takeout expedition.
After dinner we dove into one of the FOUR vegan pumpkin pies she bought. Apparently, there were only five left, so she bought four. LOL. Into the freezer they go. The pie was tasty.
The roast looks very similar to the Field Roast brand holiday roast. The beet burger looks beautiful, but if anything has beet in it all I can taste is dirt flavor.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the field roast holiday roast yet. I love their other stuff. they make great frankfurters. yum.
DeleteThose definitely look toasty.
ReplyDeleteI am sad that our closest Whole foods is in Bridgeport Village - way up by Native Foods.
We have market of Choice here but for some reason their bakery doesn't bake vegan and their deli usually just has vegetarian options. Sigh.
a shame your whole foods is so far away, but your native foods is about 350 miles closer :P
Deleteyea, vegan baked goods are hard to come by. it's a bit of a pain.
