March 18, 2009: Due East Brunswick Gild V

Edit 22/05/2012: The EBC has right away closed, but most of the carte has migrated to The Cornish Arms.

Time for an East Brunswick Club update! We received data terminal weekend from a trusted root that the EBC has a few novel vegan-friendly meals to try. For starters, their $10 Mon meals are right away followed upwards amongst Mexi Night on Wednesdays. This completely veganisable carte features jalapeno poppers (battered, deep-fried, stuffed amongst fetta as well as rice, served amongst guacamole), spiced Mexi fries (served amongst to a greater extent than guacamole as well as sour cream), a taco plate, a burrito plate, nachos as well as chilli fries every bit good every bit a few of their commons favourites - traditional, nacho as well as Americana parmas, vegan fish & chips, vegan chicken salad, wedges as well as chips.

Michael had a shot at the vegan burrito plate ($15, pictured above). It's described thus: "Char grilled chicken, cheese, rice, dark edible bean chili as well as chunky salsa, wrapped inwards a 12-inch wheat tortilla. Served amongst a side salad, guacamole as well as sour cream." We assumed that the vegan option to chicken powerfulness hold upwards roughly seitan chunks, but instead he industrial plant life zucchini as well as eggplant.

I chose the vegan taco plate ($12): "3 soft or hard-shell taco's filled amongst beef, dark edible bean chili, chicken rice, cheese as well as shredded lettuce. Served amongst a side salad, guacamole as well as sour cream." Again, the EBC refrained from their commons vogue towards mistaken meat, filling this out amongst only the edible bean chili as well as rice. There was roughly mistaken dairy to hold upwards had, though, amongst first-class 'cheese' as well as sour 'cream' on offer.

Both meals were enjoyable, though they were lilliputian to a greater extent than than rearrangements of the same ingredients, as well as offered like value for coin every bit Mi Corizon upwards the street. On a less lazy level nosotros could likely produce every bit good for ourselves at dwelling (though nosotros powerfulness non hold upwards able to replicate the jalapeno poppers or Mexi fries too on offer!). I'm to a greater extent than inclined to supply for the $10 Mondays, or for 1 of their electrical current specials - the vegan chilli burger as well as and vegan Philly agency cheese steak (available for a express fourth dimension on other nights) audio incredible!
