Bumble Bar

June 4, 2010 By chow 8 Comments

Bumble Bar

I found a few Bumble Bars in the kitchen cupboard (leftover from a trip where I didn’t need to eat them). They’re organic, gluten-free, wheat-free, vegan and ethically sourced.

The main ingredients are sesame and flax seeds and comes in a variety of flavors. I finally got around to trying them, mostly because it was getting very close to the date printed on the package.

I hate to say it but when I first ripped open the wrapper and saw the bar, it kinda reminded me of birdseed, especially the Original flavor, the one that’s pictured below. The other two that I tried, look less like birdseed. But the taste is actually really good.

Sweet, like a candy bar but not too sweet. And not crazy chewy like some energy bars. Original definitely has more of a sesame taste with a few peanut chunks thrown in.

The Chocolate Crisp doesn’t have a strong chocolate taste. But because of the crisp brown rice, it’s a bit crispy. The Chunky Cherry has pieces of cherry and is a little sticky and gooey compared to the other two.

Who knew sesame seeds could pack so much energy? I only wish I tried them sooner.

Vegan Eats at Maker Faire Bay Area

Vegan Eats at Maker Faire Bay Area

This past weekend, I went to Maker Faire in San Mateo. It’s an event held at different cities around the country that celebrates DIY in arts, crafts, engineering and science.

One of the best things about the Bay Area faire, was the number of vegan food choices. There was vegan paella, vegan corn dogs and vegan dim sum.

I also saw veggie hamburgers, veggie pad thai, falafels and garlic fries. And veggie gyros with tempeh! I didn’t check to see if all of those items are in fact vegan or just vegetarian. I was just so happy to actually have choices.

I’ve tried the vegan paella before and it’s good. It’s all open so you can see the paella cooking in the extra large pans.

At the Clif Bar booth, they were offering up small samples of their many flavors as well as giving away full-size-still-in-the-wrapper samples. I grabbed a couple of the Clif Kids Twisted Fruit Rope and ZBar – a perfect snack for walking around the faire.
