A Challenge!
Print This Post
Top Chef had a challenge that required the contestants to get ingredients from a convenience store to make a unique, flavorful dish. Of course they had it easy. They could use anything in the store. Here’s my challenge to you:
* Take $10 or less
* Go to a convenience store
* Create a vegan meal for one or more persons just with ingredients from the store.
The meal does not have to meet any special requirements other than it be edible and be vegan and be what most of us would consider a “meal”.
Exception: You can use seasonings from home: salt, pepper, chili powder, cajun mix, whatever. Other than that, you can use only what you find in the store. Bonus points if you don’t need to cook it at all or you use only the microwave.
Post your meal here! Pictures most welcome. Everyone is a winner, but one will be chosen to win the vegan cookbook of your choice (preferably, from the Vegan Soapbox Amazon Store).
Because these are challenging times, the deadline for this operation, should you choose to accept it, is December 31, 2008.
Hmm, so by convenience store I’m thinking 7-11. I’ve heard they carry soy milk at many 7-11’s, so there’s cereal. I usually get a clif bar and/or naked juice smoothie if I get hungry near a store on a bike ride, that’s almost a meal. If you’re lucky you can find vegan bread and peanut butter & jelly, wash it down with soymilk for under 10 bucks you got lunch. You might be able to afford an under-ripe banana with that too.

Just the other day I was driving with my husband and he got really hungry all of a sudden. The only thing around was a 7-11. He went in and came back out, frustrated, thinking there wasn’t anything vegan available. I went in and came back with two apples, a PB&J sandwich, bottled water, and fritos corn chips. We had ourselves a little picnic.
Woo!! Two entries already! I am guessing that these would come in under ten bucks. Excellent ideas.
