Maine Root Handcrafted Beverages – “made in maine made in maine”
From too much driving – or too much singing along with the radio when it’s on *scan* – events on the road become both hazy and seemingly improbable to me. I hesitate to use the word “dreamlike”, but.
The usual, rural, random gas station/mini mart (here) sells a locally-produced fresh lemonade in glass bottles. [Oh, and kataifi. WTF?]
A totally hippied-out VEGAN restaurant in a place that, to me, closely resembles the middle of nowhere (HERE!) sells fucking seitan sandwiches, lemon/TVP burgers, and tofu lasagna!!!?!?!?!
How can you miss it when you’re just tooling along some snowdrifty backroad, approaching some smalltown junction, and a giant sign with the words “RADICAL VEGAN FOODS” appears before your eyes?
See what I’m saying?
Anyway, they vend some regional hippie sodas at Susty’s Vegan Café in BFE, New Hampshire…
Pretty good, I must reluctantly admit. And from Maine. In case you didn’t work that out.
I need sleep.
I’ve been to that place. Very tasty!
New Hampshire is pretty liberal, considering the amount of yuppies that live there, and while that area may -SEEM- like the middle of nowhere, it’s the main road between Concord and Portsmouth, both of which are liberal “cities”.
I mean, I agree about the “middle of nowhere” classification. New Hampshire is pretty much a suburb of Boston. I always like when people ask me “where” I lived in New Hampshire because it was pretty much smack-dab in the middle. Right off the Highway 93 exit for Sanbornton.
Whoa! You’ve been there? Did you deal with the owner-lady…?
I understand that certain ramparts within New England are considered ‘liberal’ – but I don’t see how such a narrowly-targeted restaurant can attract sufficient clientele. Yuppies aren’t usually vegan. Neither are hippies. It’s an anomaly!
Yep. I’ve been there. As I said, I used to live in the middle of New Hampshire. I don’t remember if I dealt with the owner or not. I just remember filthy hippies and decent food.
