Sigh.
I stood there
in vegan purgatory. It was a
Holiday. I was hungry and nothing else
was open. I’d been forewarned by a
fellow-vegetarian that the city of Springdale was “soulless”, being the
epicenter of the Tyson empire.
I stepped inside.
“Do you have any vegetarian options? I mean, could you make a dish on this menu
and leave out the meat ….” My words
trailed off as Alice took over enthusiastically explaining she had vegan (vegan!) friends who came in frequently,
and she knew just how to adapt her traditional Salvadorain/Honduran cuisine to
accommodate the vegan diet.
Five minutes later I was enjoying a sumptuous burrito
chocked full of rice, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato, onions cilantro and just the right
amount of salsa. I asked her to take
my picture – “Woman plunging into burrito – yum!”
