Veg Out: Citimarket Place

With the surplus of mini marts in the Gayborhood, any newcomers ought to put out, right?

Citimarket is less than one pirouette from another grocer. I know because I did it.

Something made me step back. A sign weeks earlier had warned of a new "organic" store. This appeared to be an exact replica of every nearby market, except there were a lot more health food items and they were stocked something serious. I would have let it go, because we understand that I despise collecting groceries. I zone out in aisles and ZZZZ at the free samples. Let me forage what I can from urban farms and cafes where the food is overpriced but the company is full of fiber and I'm perfectly happy. The vegan fairies never forget about me.

I set eyes on the sandwich board and that's when I thought of you.

The tofu, egg white, and soy cheese breakfast sandwich might not make much vegan sense, but healthwise? Can't find that anywhere else. Lunch gets pretty mean sometimes when you've taken every veggie panini in the city for a spin. An entire vegetarian section covers all corners. Each type comes as your choice of a sandwich, hoagie, or wrap. Here's what we're messing with: Veggie Chicken w/ honey mustard and vegenaise, Veg. Chicken Salad, Veg. Chicken or Beef Cheesesteaks, Veg. Club w/ tofu & soy bacon, Tofu w/ shitake dressing, Mixed Soy Cheese, and Veggie Grilled Chicken or Beef Fajitas. Tofu salad. They've got everything but the Fu Wah banh mi.

I might start to eat lunch again.

Update: Wolfed a Mixed Soy Cheese Hoagie w/ Vegenaise. So much soy. So much good. $5.99. Fair Trade Lacas coffee gets a salute. There were some LOTV-reading types ordering up a storm of vegetarian sandwiches at the same time I was.
