Infinitely Nourishing Foods
On Wednesday I drove my dad and his friends to a golf course not too far from Brighton, as part of his birthday celebration. While he golfed, I went to the town and beach, and enjoyed myself. The real highlight of the day, though, was visiting Infinity Foods Cafe.
Found in the North Laines part of Brighton, at 50 Gardner Street (tel: 01273 670743), Infinity Foods Cafe is a fantastic place offering the most wholesome food I’ve ever been offered. Vegetarian, vegan, organic, real pure food without additives, artficial flavourings or refined sugars are things this place holds in the highest regard. If you’re looking to eat cleanly and simply, this is the place to go. It took much deliberation to decide what to have (I literally stood gawping at the choices on the menu for ages, holding up people behind who in the end went ahead while I considered my choice). The guy who ordered standing next to me wanted the Middle Eastern Falafels, and after asking him what they were, I decided I’d go for that as well. Chickpeas, mashed and spiced, put into a ball and fried. Absolutely yummy. And with the beautiful salad it was serving with (dressed with wholesome dressings like pure tahini, and toasted seeds and nuts), it was a meal I enjoyed every mouthful of.
On my way out, I thanked a woman there, asking for a business card, and she spoke a little about the history of the place. I also bought a slice of their homemade rye bread (delicious) and a wholefood flapjack (also delicious). If only there were more of these sorts of wholesome-diet-conscious places around. Something like that, great quality food prepared by a chef that clearly loves what they do, is infinitely more nourishing than a thousand places I could mention. With our culture slowly becoming more aware of the effects food has on our bodies and minds, it can only be a matter of brief time before more places like this to pop up all over. When they do, I have no doubt we’ll see a healthier and happier world.
