While at the Orange Grove markets a few weeks ago, I spotted a woman selling vegan prepackaged meals.  She was from this company, Pod Cuisine.  I tried out the Bebop Hotpot the first week, which is an amazing stew of black turtle beans, corn, leeks and a bunch of herbs and spices.  It was fantastic with brown rice and veggies.

After that resounding success I gave her Chickpea Chansons de Geste a go.  It was AMAZING.  It tasted like a honey mustard based curry.  I happen to LOVE sweet potato, which probably helps.

I can’t afford to buy these meals all the time, they are $8 for about 2-3 serves, so not too bad but more expensive than the raw ingredients.  I will probably buy one every now and then if I know I won’t have much time to cook.

I wish I had the recipe for the Chickpea Chansons de Geste though, I’d make it at least once a week.
