Day 147: Be a Vegetarian

I found this so hard! Not because vegetarian food isn’t really tasty, it’s because I ate tofu.

UUUURGH!!

What is that stuff?! It’s bean curd that’s what it is. I mean, look at it..

Admittedly, it looks like porridge or scrambled eggs. However, these things redeems themselves by actually tasting pleasant.

The day started out as an attempt to be vegan but then I accidentally had eggs for breakfast. They were nice. It was this recipe and was meant to look like this –

but ended up looking like this for the next four weeks –

Not funny.

 

Anyway, then I had lunch. The Livity offices are in Brixton, a place known for it’s great places to eat. I decided some Malaysian would go down nicely. So I went for a Sambal Jawa from Bar Satay. Only instead of my beloved chicken, I had…… tofu!

This place does some of the best Sambal Jawa I’ve had outside of KL as yet, it’s not their fault they had to contaminated it with beany, greasy, sponge.

When you work in an office, no matter how fun that office is, food enhances your day. When you’re sat on your bum staring at a screen you could be in Google Campus or the council – you need food to carry you through. When that food fills you will anticipation and then dashes your hopes it ruins your day!

Dinner.

This is what tipped me over the edge. I had a meeting in North London and popped into Pret. I was excited – y’know that anticipation thing again – I knew the Pret do this lush hallumi and falafal wrap, I knew that was vegetarian, and I knew that’s what I needed to make my advegture finish with a high and there were absolutely none. I picked a cheesey, tomato, croissant. You know what those things need? Ham.
