Redemption Day

URBAN HEALTH — Eat, Pray, Love wrap with tofu — 4/5 (+0.5 for free caramel slice)

Incredible scenes at Web Summit HQ. Following last week’s devastation regarding the now infamous Eat, Pray, Love wrap incident, Urban Health got in touch. They genuinely couldn’t have been nicer (whereas I felt like a mega dick — is a wrap without tofu actually worth all this fuss?* It’s quite hard to stand by your complaints when you realise you sound like a basic bitch). Nonetheless, they refunded me, and promised me a free wrap today… Monday.

Little did they know, but by their own doing, Monday suddenly became their Redemption Day. Could Urban Health swing my love back? Or was it lost forever?

Spoiler: Yes, they can… and did. This love is an endless love, and, dear reader, I’d like you to listen to this as you read the rest of this blog post, to set the tone.

Delicious scenes awaited me in my brown paper bag. A smiley face assured me that Urban Health accepted my apology and probably, in this fight,we both had spoken out of turn. We were angry, we didn’t mean what we said. I also saw that those dreamboats had slipped me a caramel slice** in there, for naughty measure. GURL.

But let’s not get swayed by sugar. There’s a task at hand here. “How was the wrap?” I hear you ask.

Let’s cover the basics — it was back to its regular size (which is hefty and I am in fact going to just become full pig at this rate). Also, the ingredients weren’t packed in. I liked this, to see the chickpeas spill out, and a kale leaf glisten cheekily at me. The ultimate compliment? I cut it in half and thought, “I’ll save this second piece for dinner.”

I ate both halves and have no regrets.

So what does this mean? I have kissed and made up with Urban Health (and then some… caramel slice much?!) but my heart has started this journey. I can’t stop my lunchtime odyssey of new flavours and lunchtime combinations, nor do I want to. But at least it means I can follow them on Instagram again with love in my belly.

*Fuck, yeah it is.

**Can we talk about that slice being €3.95 usually? Mama bear, I’m in the wrong business.
