Food Fight
If you consider yourself a “vegan,” and don’t follow that statement with “but I eat eggs and fish,” then you are in luck. Portland is home to the mothership of vegan outposts, Food Fight, a compact grocery store hidden in the base of a retro office building on the less traveled half of SE Division Street. If you’ve never ventured into vegan territory, don’t be afraid because being vegan is all about having fun.
For example, eating a real strip of beef jerky can evoke a smile now and then, but when you remove the beef and replace it with wheat gluten, let the real laughter begin. In addition to an impressive selection of delicious fake meat products, Food Fight stocks a wide variety of vegan delicacies including cheeseless mac and cheese (aka “chreese”), non-dairy whipped cream in a can, eggless/butterless brownies, and many other tasty and occassionally healthy treats. Food Fight also has plenty of recipe books to help you acclimate to the ways of Vegan and an unusual array of miscellany, including guitar picks, no-kill mousetraps and the obligatory vegan propaganda. Yes, you too can own a bumpersticker that tells the world that you are “vegan and poop three times a day, minimum.” See, like I said, vegan=fun!!! At least at Food Fight it does.
