Pretzel Buns, Horseradish Sauce And Whole Foods

For supper tonight I made a veggie sandwich on a pretzel bun. It was really good but not awesome. I guess my expectations for the bun was to high.

I was also disappointed in this Veganaise horseradish sauce that I tried on the sandwich for the first time. It didn’t have that take your breath away quality that I think horseradish sauce should. The flavor was ok just no heat to it.

Anxious for this new Whole Foods to open. The existing stores here aren’t the nicest.
