Around noon, Whole Foods is teeming with bright-eyed high school students, the compost trash bins are teeming with soiled brown napkins and half-eaten ciabatta sandwiches, the employee's brains are teeming with thoughts of exhaustion and death and there is free food teeming everywhere.
Free Spinach Dip
(located on a little plate on top of the ready-to-serve items)
**
The yogurt in the spinach dip tastes thick and creamy, there's a notable taste of chives and garlic. The pita chips, however, have been mashed by greedy hands, and the dip hangs precariously from the tip of the chip, threatening to to drop on my shirt. A quick bite saves the drip from such a fate.
Free Roasted Pepper and Hummus Dip
(also located on a little plate on top of the ready-to-serve items)
*
The hummus in this dip is pastey. I could not taste the tahini, lemon juice, salt and /or garlic. A pita chip carried it nicely to my mouth. Said pita chip had a nice note of sea salt.
Free 1/34 slice of a goat cheese and red pepper pizza
(located on the counter next to the pizzas being warmed by a warming light)
*
I think I tasted goat cheese, and something nutty. The bread was soggy but did not taste over-salted. Pagliacci does better for less.
Free piece of shortbread cookie
(located on the glass above the pastries)
**
The shortbread cookie was a bit harder than I'd like a shortbread cookie to be. It sort of snapped when I bit into it. Smelled buttery, but tasted floury.
Free water
(located next to the biodegradeable spoons and forks)
***
Water tasted neither hard nor soft. Noted absence of chlorine and or mineral taste. Water tasted like water. Needed ice.
