Oh, shut up stomach and wait til we get to the bus stop.
Grumurgle.
Right! Sit down, drop bag, hurriedly unwrap paper packaging.
For an all-vegan cafe you’d think they’d try and cut down on wasteful wrappings. No time to ponder that. Attack lunch!
Get a mouthful before even bothering to examine my purchase. The slice is soft and crumbles easily into moist segments in my mouth. An occasional chewy bit with a tomato flavour. Overall it tastes like lemon and beetroot, sweet and sour and vinegar.
Swallow. Okay, slow down. Appreciate the food. It’s a square of deep purple slice. It sheds tiny bits of shredded beetroot and stained semolina but doesn’t leave my fingers coloured. Decent texture, easy to eat in a hurry.
Perhaps a bit too much lemon and vinegar. It would be nice if it tasted even stronger of beetroot, or if the sun-dried tomato could shine through a bit more. Maybe if it were warmed, though the cool wetness is appreciated since I sure am thirsty. Should have bought a drink too.
Stomach does not care. Trivialities. Stomach says keepeatingkeepeatingkeepeating.
You got it.
