ZenBurger Street Tacos

Another great vegan product is ZenBurger Street Tacos. These are very oily, but please don't let that scare you away from the amazing experience of eating these. If you have a craving for street tacos you probably don't mind the oil at all. Anyway, the oil makes them crispy while they bake. The end product is good, very good!

The filling texture feels meaty but with random whole grain chunks. It's as good as any meat I've ever eaten, but real meat eaters may figure it out. The box shows a loose filling, but what I got was more compacted and easier to eat. The tortilla shells produce a very pleasing aroma that, until now, I've only experienced in real Mexican restaurants. This food will make your house smell like a home.

There's a slight heat from the spices, but nothing to fear. This food is for all ages. I would recommend people with GERD to get the meds ready just in case, because of the oil.

The amazing flavor had me chair dancing. I enjoyed every bite. With lettuce, tomato, and onion, this was a great meal. It completely satisfied my munchies.

Diaya Deluxe Cheezy Mac Four Cheeze Style With Herbs

This is my first time trying Diaya Deluxe Cheezy Mac Four Cheeze Style With Herbs. This one has tiny shell pasta and a creamy white vegan cheese with herbs mixed in.

While cooking the shells, the water got very cloudy and starchy. Draining the water was a bit of a challenge. The cheezy pouch made it easy to add flavor to the pot full of shells. Cooking time was about 10 minutes.

The four cheeze sauce is not as bold as the cheddar that comes with the Cheddar Style Cheezy Mac, but the herbs makes up for it. It does seem to have a fuller, more Italian cheese flavor. It almost tastes like cheese pizza!

This was easy to make, and the price was reasonable. Kids should really like it too. This is another great product from Daiya. No surprises. Daiya has a nice collection of vegan foods. I recommend them all.

A Vegan Lunch at Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill in Pensacola Beach FL

Finding vegan food in Pensacola is only a slight challenge, but once you go over the bridges to Santa Rosa Island, it is nearly impossible to find something to eat. There's an abundance of seafood restaurants, and not a single one currently has a vegan meal on a menu. Herbivores are completely overlooked at the beach. Some restaurants have small vegetarian side salads with cheese, dressing, and croutons. Most of them have fries or other deep fried vegetarian items, but I assume they use shared deep fryer oil. It was a tough search, but I found something really good for vegans. Some creative thinking and a good attitude is needed for this one.

I found myself at Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill. It's a nice place right on the beach, and I mean it is ON THE BEACH with beach sand all around and dining tables in the sand! Very cool. The bar is on a concrete pad under a big beach hut. It's very casual and comfortable. I chose the beach hut during this visit. They have all kinds of beautiful foods for omnivores. The adult beverages looked amazing, especially the one that's served in an actual pineapple. This place is so cool!

Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill

 

The menu includes an appetizer called Joe's Pile of Nachos. It usually comes with tortilla chips, queso, shredded cheese, spicy beef, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream and jalapeños. Be very friendly and nice to the server. Ask if they can make a vegan version with tortilla chips, black beans, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, and jalapeños.

 

Vegan nachos at Whiskey Joe's

 

This was smaller but at the same price as the big Joe's Pile of Nachos. The quality and flavor was very good. This wasn't a vegan feast and it wasn't cheap, but this was the best vegan food on the island. Every part of this was fresh and flavorful. Order this with a good draft beer or fancy drink and you will be in paradise.

Remember, this is not on the menu. Don't go in there acting like you're special. Whiskey Joe's is very popular and has plenty of other paying customers. I'm not sure how they feel about special orders. It worked for me, and I hope to order this again next time. It was very good!

Roshen Shooters Chocolates with Brandy Liquor

I found this box of chocolates at an international shop. Each piece of chocolate was filled with brandy. The brandy was very strong, but I loved these. I read the label, and I see no reason they would not be vegan. The ingredients were listed in English, along with several other languages. The label also says these chocolates were made in Ukraine. It's very sad what has happened there. Eating this delicious product was a bit disturbing considering current events. So many thoughts ran through my mind with each piece. This was an excellent product, and I hope to continue buying this in the future.

Bacon Avocado Club Sandwich at End Of The Line Cafe in Pensacola FL

I returned to End Of The Line Cafe for more amazing plant-based food. This time I got a daily special. The Bacon Avocado Club was perfect in every way. This may have been the best sandwich I've eaten in years, and I frequently eat sandwiches. This was loaded with flavor and had a good variety of textures. This included maple hickory "bacon", avocado, lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo, grilled peppers and onions, and knuckle sauce, served on multigrain bread. Mmmmmmm. So good!

Bacon Avocado Club Sandwich at End Of The Line Cafe

Because I've been a vegetarian or vegan for so long, this was my first club sandwich, so I can't personally compare this to a tradition club sandwich. This sandwich was excellent all the way through.

Peace and love to the crew at End Of The Line Cafe. They were very friendly and helpful, and the food was awesome. This visit was great!
