Annie Chuns Roasted Seaweed and the local Vegan Joint

Okay, so I am looking for new and tasty vegan foods. I plan to share the good, bad and ugly here. The first delicacy is "Annie Chun's Roasted Seaweed Snacks". I will have to come up with a creative rating system, like 4 out of 5 stalks of broccoli! Actually, that is what I would give these! They are awesome. So awesome, in fact, I ordered a lot of them on amazon. :) Cheaper than Whole Foods and in bulk! Yay!

So, important question for a NEWB here. How do I know it is vegan? Well, this question is one I normally ask myself after I have eaten something :/ but this time, I was proactive! There is actually a little V on the top right in a circle that says the words "vegan" underneath! Thank you Annie, for making it impossible for me to screw this up!

 

Now my friend Michelle (who's favorite meal is steak, by the way) hated them (she said they tasted like fish food). BUT, she actually consented to go to brunch at the local vegan restaurant called "Ethos", She was a good sport. She was a little perplexed how they made a vegan egg. (She was actually saying "what is wrong with an egg, anyway?? She was a little traumatized). But I assuaged her fears by telling her there was turmeric in the "eggs" and she was happy about that. We got the breakfast burritos, which were very good. We both really liked them! She was very happy to find out that Mimosas are indeed vegan!

Brunch was great and I can't wait to go back and try dinner or lunch at Ethos. They packed quite a crowd on a Sunday too! That was interesting and encouraging!

And by the way, I wasn't the ONLY one that liked the seaweed: (Michelle's pup)
