On 28th there is one, one of many in Portland, taco truck. This is a nice one as it serves vegetarian foods. It is right next to Reed College, so yeah offer vegetarian food or wave goodbye to lots of customers. This one also offers vegan food, that is what it says right there on the menu Vegan, “We’d like two vegan burritos, please. No cheese, we need it to be vegan, it is Lent.” She seemed to understand. Did we want black beans? Yes. I grabbed a bottle of Coca-Cola my wife has wanted some lately, she doesn’t drink it very often but lately, she has wanted one. I pay up and wait.
They are right next to a “Berry Good Produce” maybe they sold Soy Curls, a haven to people with vegetarian or vegan wants. They are great but kinda hard to find. I wander in and checked out the produce, which is most of what they have there, and then asked if they had them, or it. After a little bit of explanation, we agreed they did not. Shucks, it means we will have to stick to ordering a case from the manufacturer. It is an Oregon outfit so that is OK,
As I arrive home my wife is still gardening, it is cool and sunny so it is a wonderful time to work on the garden. I call out, it is just after 2:00 so we are ready for lunch. I explain what I ordered and where I got it. Within the two-mile radius of our home, there are, that I remember right now, five places to choose from and the Portland Mercado with six or eight trailers with food from all over the Latin area. We have a lot of places to choose from. It was on the loop of the errands I was on so there we are. We start to eat them. Yay.
Yay right up until we discover chicken in our “vegan” burritos. I ended up m going to Los Gorditos, we know they will serve vegan food when we order it.
