"Let me just get one more handful of Booty first." This, spoken to me by my Weird Veg blogmate, Erin, before entering the strangely fancy/divey EZ5 bar in San Francisco's Chinatown last Friday night. We were digging into a bag of Veggie Booty, a weird vegetable treat consisting of airy corn puffs flavored with spinach, kale, cabbage, carrots, and broccoli.
Says the Robert's American Gourmet product website, "Veggie Booty puts you in the mindset to eat healthier and change your life, take it on a train, or in your car, on a walk, or on a boat, Veggie Booty will be your good friend." My sentiments exactly, though probably with different punctuation. I haven't had the Simply Booty Vegan member of the Pirate Booty family, but it looks promising. You should be able to find some kind of Booty at your local corner store depending on where you live, and definitely at Trader Joe's.

Dude, way to kill the booty break!
ReplyDeleteThis is old news – 2007 – and just so you know, my Friday night was unmarred by intestinal cramping of any kind.
Long live weird vegetables in their snackiest form!
Booty recalls are so 2007. After a year of Booty ambivalence, 2009 is all about bringing back the Booty grab--just be sure that your bag doesn't have the little upper corner crossbones (like in the photo). The bones were clearly indicating "low level poison threat from e.coli or salmonella" so they got rid of them starting with the 2008 bags to say: "Arrgh, make no bones about it! Eat up, matey."
ReplyDeleteHow many R. Kelly conversations began with that very same statement?
