Green Man's Arms has changed up its menu since our pre-COVID visits. A highlight of their current menu is the vegan charcuterie ($20, with a gluten-free option). It's a gorgeous platter of focaccia, olives, pumpkin and eggplant dips, macadamia-based feta, and a wide assortment of fresh and pickled vegetables. Nestled between the pumpkin dip and focaccia, there are also a few discs of mock chorizo - I enjoyed their nutty, salty flavour without any point of reference and my more chorizo-familiar companion was really impressed by them.
We ordered this plate in its ideal context - when we had plenty of time to pick over it, and over the movie we'd just watched across the street at Nova.

ReplyDeleteHi Susan - perfect description! It far exceeded my expectations.
DeleteLooks delicious - I need to go there soon - perhaps with a movie at the nova! (what movie did you see - there seem a few good ones around just now)
ReplyDeleteHi Johanna! I saw Firestarter - The Story of Bangarra on this night and LOVED it. Can also recommend The Father, which we saw on the weekend. :)
DeleteI've got Promising Young Woman and Minari on my wishlist too!
There are lots of good movies about right now - I saw The Father last week and found it so clever and well acted and beautifully shot but it really made me feel so confused when I came out in a really empathetic way. And we had the charcuterie platter afterwards which I loved - at Green Man's Arms - was sad to hear there is no longer kombucha on tap there but it was available in a bottle.
DeleteIt looks so delicious
