It taste’s just like food on a plate!

Sooo…

I walked into Arden’s Garden, a local fresh juice/smoothie chain here in Atlanta, the other day while I was out running errands. Not only am I addicted to their juices and smoothies, but they also carry raw desserts and snacks, one of which I am particularly fond. Nori Bites. Yes, I know, double entendre. They’re actually quite delicious. Several different kinds of nuts ground into a powder, blended with water, spread on a sheet of nori, topped with another sheet of nori and dehydrated.

To make a short story exceptionally long…I order Nori Bites to go along with my smoothie. While employee number one made my smoothie, a guy, employee number two rang up my order and commented on the Nori Bites and the fact that she had always wanted to try them. I took the opportunity to open my package of Nori Bites and offer her one. She looked over her shoulder, to make sure employee number one wasn’t looking, hesitated again, then decided to dive in.

Her eyes lit up with surprise, as employee number one walked over and handed me the smoothie,

‘they taste like food!’

I looked at her kinda half cocked, and started to laugh.

‘You know, like food…food on a plate!’

At which point I really started to laugh…employee number one didnt find the exchange very amusing, as he interrupted, and said ‘have a nice day, sir.’

Raw food, its taste’s just like food on a plate…

    “tastes like food” should be Nori Bites’ new slogan! Bet you made that girl’s day with those.

    Hi again!
    Just wanted to pass on this information …

    Boston Magazine recently published an article all about us this month - here is the link:

    Oh So Soy!

    If you have a few minutes to spare, could do us a huge favor and read the article and comment at the bottom of the page? We’re very excited about getting such great press, especially from a magazine of this caliber. If everyone drops by and leaves a quick comment, soon there will be no doubt in any publisher’s mind: YES, readers absolutely do want to know about vegan happenings and developments. Please don’t hesitate to repost the article on your blog and spread the world!

    Thanks!
