March 24, 2007: Allergy Block Opened Upwards Day
On Sabbatum they held a exceptional opened upward day, amongst a store-wide 10% discount (and a handful of much bigger discounts too!) in addition to stands from a break of their suppliers promoting their products in addition to offering complimentary samples. As you lot would accept picked upward from the pic above, I made the most of the reduced prices! Pictured, clockwise from the left are: a litre of organic milk, a bundle of the sage & marjoram vege sausages that I lately discovered, some roasted organic cashews, organic vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, a jolt of chilli capsicum salsa, gluten in addition to wheat-free sugariness chilli in addition to kaffir lime biscuits, in addition to some vegetarian Thai trend cakes.
The salsa in addition to gluten-free biscuit purchases were inspired yesteryear the samples that I tasted out the front end of the shop. The biscuits are utilisation of a local make of wheat-free biscuits (sweet in addition to savoury) called Decadent Alternatives. At $5.30 (the park non-discounted price) for a 100g pack, these are definitely decadent inwards cost but a worthy process for gluten-free eaters. No such problems here, I'm happy to say, yet I nevertheless couldn't resist taking abode some of the savoury ones! The chilli capsicum salsa is also known every bit Kangaroo Punch in addition to is made yesteryear the Chilli Factory. This supplier had at to the lowest degree a dozen unlike sauces, salsas, chutneys in addition to the like, all rated on a scale of 1 to 10 for heat.
In add-on to the materials I bought in addition to tasted, I also scored a break of complimentary samples. As I paid for my goodies, some organic fair merchandise solid seat down java sachets in addition to some other i of drinking chocolate were tucked into my greenish bag. But the biggest haul of all came from the friendly in addition to generous John, representing Willow Confectionery...
He was the kickoff individual I encountered on the street every bit I approached Allergy Block, offering me a sample of his nut- in addition to egg-free chocolate in addition to chatting nigh its cocoa content in addition to the Easter rush on their products. Then he thrust 2 handfuls (over 300g!) of his chocolate samples on me earlier I moved on. As he registered my bewildered look, he gave me his bill of fare in addition to assured me that the Allergy Block staff wouldn't bill me of shoplifting every bit long every bit I showed that to them. I was to a greater extent than concerned that Michael wouldn't believe my even out that a "supplier" forced this chocolate on me inwards the street at no cost. (And who would believe such a even out from an addict, really?) While this sense has in all likelihood positively biased my judgement, I tin tell you lot that the night chocolate is pretty tasty for its little 50% cocoa content. And it brought a grin to my confront to regard a few excited kids amongst express diets dancing to a greater extent than or less the display of allergen-free chocolate bunnies inside.I've plainly been a fan of this store for a piece right away in addition to it was peachy to regard it amount of people trying something novel or discovering alternatives versions of foods they idea they'd live on cutting from their diet. As good every bit a one-day spike inwards sales, my promise is that Allergy Block accept made a lot of novel long-term customers.
Update 10/5/10: Allergy Block, which has been our convenient supplier of then many vegan-friendly, gluten-free in addition to other goodies seems to accept unopen down. They were originally heading to novel premises inwards Moonee Ponds, but that appears to accept fallen through in addition to the job organisation is no longer trading. It's real disappointing.
