5) My heart is broken: Bulmbers is not veg*n. And guess what? Also most apple juice brands are not veg*n neither.
"It's not you, it's me."Kristy and I rode our bikes to A Minor Place (103 Albion Street, Brunswick) for breakfast last Saturday. The Soy Latte was pretty good.
The pretty Bonsoy spiral
What did we eat? Henry's Beans. It is made of Cannellini Beans (Kristy's favourite), garlic, rosemary (Kristy's pet hate) topped with dukkah, and served with lemon. They were not bad in my book. *pointing mic to Kristy* "What do you think about the beans, Kristy?". Kristy: "I was reluctant to go just for one bean dish, but I was pleasantly surprised."
This is pretty much the only vegan option. They also stock Crumb's vegan muffins.
Pip, the cooking god, tried to make it at home. Her version looks like the lost twin of Henry's Beans, but I haven't tried it though.
I bought an all black Keepcup. It has saved quite a few paper cups since I bought it two weeks ago. I call it Darth Vader.

I love your Darth Vader!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a KeepCup, as they look awesome and will come in handy for the morning coffee van ritual.
cool cup! -ann
ReplyDeleteKeepCups are all the rage here at my work. I just use a ceramic cup but when I leave here I'll probably get a KeepCup for on the go - they are a great idea and an awesome eco-minded small business. Love the black!
ReplyDeletein my experience of a minor place they tend to have at least one vegan option on the specials board each time i've been there. they are also now open for dinner and i've been told to look out for a mushroom dumpling thing that's vegan approved.
ReplyDeletesome of the vegan muffins they sell are gluten free as well.
also worth going to for the beans, the bonnie prince billy references and delicious coffee!
i love henrys beans YUM!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that about apple juice & I have been drinking heaps - most annoying!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips, Lena. You need to try the breakfast at Ray when you are in town if you haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteVicki, the cloudy one or the organic brand should be okay.
does anyone have the exact recipe for Henry's beans?
