We are traveling – first to a wedding in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and exploring vegan restaurants.
Halifax is a wonderful city: youthful, yet graced with stone or brick century old buildings. More than vegan friendly, the city offers several vegan restaurants. Not entirely vegan, but “friendly” Mezza on Quinpool Road is Lebanese/Mediterranean. Our daughter and son were to arrive later in the evening and we decided to try their appetizers. We had a three including Foul Mudammas – a tangy dish of fava beans tossed with garlic, mint and fresh lemon with tomatoes and onions; Vegetable Kebbe - samosa-like with a fried dumpling made with potato and cracked wheat and stuffed with spinach, chickpeas, onion and lemon; and, Eggplant created with roasted eggplant, green pepper, red pepper, onion, garlic, tomato, parsley, lemon and olive oil. Not one of these can be claimed our favorite –each excellent, with wonderful flavors – complementing one another. We chose well. - Joan and Jeff Stanford
