橄欖這東東

最近大蕃薯愛上了中東食品!所謂「中東食品」其實只限於橄欖、古斯米(couscous)、蔬菜球(falafel)、鷹嘴豆泥(Hummus)和麵包,因為大蕃薯對中東食品的認識很有限公司=p而且搞不清起源國家是哪個.....

有些人都不喜歡橄欖,覺得味道很奇怪。大蕃薯一開始也不喜歡,但後來發現高質素的橄欖比一般超市貨式要香許多,但不容易遇上,要找些家庭式小店,小店通常會有自己醃製橄欖的秘方,要逐家逐家試過才能找到自己最喜歡的口味。平時會等到星期六市集開放才會買,之前吃過不同城市的幾個攤檔,始終喜歡自家的~但昨天實在很想吃就去了鎮上另一家隠閉小店:



買了蕃茄味的,市集那檔沒有這款,很不錯呢。
除此以外辣椒味和裹著杏仁的也是位列三甲之內^^



另外還買了兩款麵包,分別是基本款的土耳其麵包和芝麻卷:(可惜不是純素)



差不多一次過吃光一百克橄欖,只剩下幾粒,今早就吃完了~
有空想試試弄Hummus。

à La Soupe @ Luxembourg


~ Spoonfull ~

Veggie Soup

Finally I recovered from the Luxembourg trip... It was quite exhausting, but also joyful~
The weather was nice with intervals of sunshine and cloud, and it didn't rain until the last day before I got onto the train.

During the trip I enjoyed plenty of veggie food! Some from EXKi, and the most remarkable one was the soup from à La Soupe! I didn't asked about the ingredient, though I managed to figure out some - potato, onion and maybe some zucchini?? And No dairy! It contained no salt and fat as well, which is a pretty healthy option.It was served with a piece of organic bread as well. The bread was fluffy and natural , good enough for a bread-lover like me!

The size was huge - I guessed more than 1/2 liter... With the bread and potato, definitely fills you up! And don't forget its interial design. It was elegant, bright and warm, like its soup =]

Besides, if you are staying in the Youth hostel, its canteen Melting Point provides a buffet salad bar which 7~8 sorts of veggies plus bread plus 2 choices of soup. Sometimes the soup is vegan (the one I saw was legume). It's just 5 euro and ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT! The day I tried the salade bar there was cus cus, lettuce, carrots, cucumber with sweet corn, raddish, shallot, etc. They also provided a few kinds of sauces. I liked the spice sauce most - truely spice!
