Green rice and dahl
I’m currently at home, staying with my Pa in a little village called Dyrham, of which the main attraction is the National Trust owned property and deer park. WOOHOO! It is lovely, if dull. Anyway, my Pa works in Bristol, which is a vibrant, thriving town, home to The Factory, the beautiful harbourside, and many a vegan option. Last week I got a lift in, and met my good friend Heather (my oldest friend! Or rather, my longest serving friend. Haha.) for lunch at St. Nicholas Market.
The veg*n option changes, but for £3.90 I got the vegan special; kenyan beans, courgette, new potato and fresh tomato in a plastic tub filled to the brim with tasty green rice, and lashings of chickpea dahl, with a bag of poppadoms too. We ate in Castle Park and I enjoyed it so much, I forgot to take a picture of it until only rice was left.
Mmm. Icky goo. So, their poster states that they change their menu every day and make all their Punjabi curries from scratch using veg from a local greengrocer. They don’t use industrial curry pastes and use sunflower oil instead of ghee! So, if you’re ever stuck for snacks in Bristol, just head up to Corn Street and St Nicholas Market! Spice up your Life is directly next to Rolls Royce Café, which does a variety of vegan pasties and cakes (I’ll probably head there this week for photographic evidence. Plus, I love their treacle flapjack!) so whatever you’re in the mood for, a filling lunch or a quick elevenses, St Nicholas market got your back.
