Tofurky: Snapshots of a Supermarket in Florida

I was in Publix Supermarket in Florida and I was impressed and shocked. Impressed because it is so big, shocked because the produce section is so small and most of the market is filled with dry foods, cooking equipment, sauces, and frozen foods. The other oddities were the vegetarian section with Tofurky. This thing claims to be tofu turkey with stuffing, and rich giblet gravy. Sorry, but I think people should simply eat Turkey or make a new tradition.

Wouldn’t that be great? I think vegetarians should come up with a new thanksgiving feast dinner. I could even imagine having something like a cornucopia of vegetables that are grilled and fresh with bean pancakes or something. I don’t know something like that- if not, it’s like a constant reminder of the food you are missing.

The other odd thing I saw was dutch chocolate with red wine. I don’t know what it tastes like, but it doesn’t quite jell in my mind.

I hope everyone is having a good holidays.

Sincerely,

Daniel Gray
