About
Today I finished the last piece. I have had it on its own, alongside soup, topped it with tofu and slathered it in sauce. My favorite way to enjoy it is toasted with mashed avocado, sprinkles of Picante Passion, sea salt and twist of lemon. It wont take another 5 years for me revisit this classic.
