Re: [OVeg] Re: New T & T Supermarket

I went to T&T last week. Vaalea asked me to post my observations. I was there only for a limited time, and plan to go back to examine things a bit more thoroughly.

There were many interesting and useful things there, although nothing really stood out. They have a variety of faux meats, but nearly all of those contain egg or dairy products. There's a faux duck and one other that is vegan. There are several types of Tofutti ice cream products, a few of which I've never seen in other stores. There are tonnes of different sauces, rice noodles etc., a good selection of which are vegan. Lots of interesting tofus and tofu products, although many are available in Chinatown as well.

It's available in 3lb bags at Costco! So much for "limited commercial
availability" as stated in Wikiped.
Vaalea,
Maybe you can let the veg/vegan dist list know about it.
Cheers,
Vu

I was there the other day. didn't have enough time to check out the veg*n section because it was absolutely insane in there!!...BUT, I did notice LOTS of dungeness crabs stuck in tiny tanks with no room to move, along with fish (some dead already, just floating around!). I can only imagine how the ones in the back are being treated!!

Zen Kitchen praised in Best Restaurants edition of Ottawa Magazine

carol_anne_o...@yahoo.ca (Carol Anne) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:54:31 UT

Ottawa Magazine just published its annual Best Restaurants in Ottawa
edition. Zen Kitchen didn't make the top ten but it was in the
"restaurants to watch" section which is usually newer restaurants.
These often end up in the top ten in following years.
Nice to see a vegetarian/vegan resto in there.

Thanks, very interesting. i wish we'd do that !
In the past, most people couldn't afford meat. in japan it was illegal for
200 years
(except for samurai and royals). the cheapening of meat made animal life
cheap and
pollution and abuse commonplace. Eating meat was not a natural state for
"common"
