Improbable Eugene.
Where else but in nutrition
conscious Eugene, home of
Sprout City and Fountain of
Juice, could you find such an
outrageous compromise as a
whole wheat and honey
croissant? Croissants are sup
posed to be sinful, cholesterol
laden Old World temptations,
right? Not wholesome nutrition
al supplements.
Well as it turns out, Fall Creek
Bakery’s (located next to the
University Bookstore on 13th
Avenue) organic gallic delight is
not some mere Oregon throw
back.
The viscosity of the honey
and the heavier texture of the
flour make this croissant not so
elegant as the more authentic
version available at the Me
tropol (in 5th Street Public Mar
ket). But then again it has a
nuttier, chewier texture, and
who knows, it might even be
good for you.
We hasten to add that Fall
Creek has othei* pastries that
look decidedly less wholesome,
but no less enticing, including
English Walnut squares and
various kinds of Danish
pastries; and if you’re still
drinking coffee, Valentine’s
Wine and Cheese (inside and to
the back of Fall Creek) can fuel
you.
Equally improbable, equally
Eugeneoid, and no less tempt
ing than the Fall Creek croissant
is the homemade honey ice
cream being dished up by
Sweet Surrender (943 River
Road). I still harbor fond
memories of the old Nice Cream
Parlor's exotic carob and ban
ana honey ice cream improvi
sations of a few years back, but
this new place should do right
by those who prefer this “sweet
surrender” without a sugar
shock. Flavors change at the
whim of the shop’s owner
/operator, but one can always
expect a light, richly textured,
fresh ice cream for those who
have come to expect no less.
Back where the Nice Cream
Parlor used to be is yet another
Eugene novelty, Blair Island
(Blair Street and 4th Avenue). If
you’re bored with Future Shock,
and Wet Magazine holds no ter
rors for you, Blair Island might
give you a glimpse of the future
that Ronald Reagan would pay
dearly for, if only he knew.
Soybeans.
Remember in the movie The
Graduate where the financial
hipster walks up to graduate
Dustin Hoffman at poolside in
1970 and says "Plastics”? Well,
the same with soybeans.
Soybeans are the coming thing
in American foods, but don’t
take it from me. Here's our
government’s own Department
of Agriculture estimating that
“use of soy protein products will
increase 71 percent from 1977
to 1985.” (Source: Natural Food
Review, Winter 1981).
Soybeans are now the second
biggest United States cash
crop, the USDA says, so if you
want to find out what dinner
holds for you three years from
now, shuffle off to the Island.
The Island’s tofu and tempeh
specialties are created from the
ingredients they get fresh, just
across the street at Surata
soyfoods factory. My current
favorite is the Tempeh Tia. You
could think of it as a New Age

chicken enchilada with a meaty
tempeh simmered in sweet and
sour sauce, wrapped in a hot
tortilla and topped with a spicy
sour cream dressing. The Is
land’s cult attraction (though it
probably shouldn’t be revealed)
is their tofu cheesecake, which
is reported to be “better than
cheese cheesecake.” What’s
the world coming to?
What Aunt Lucy Devine’s is
coming to is another clever
marketing idea and a pleasant
consumer service to boot. Not
long ago, Aunt Lucy’s Wine Loft
opened its upstairs doors at
1340 Alder Street making it one
of the few places in town offer
ing premium varietal wines by
the glass.
During a recent visit I tasted
four of the six white wines of
fered on the list, including a
Reisling from one of California’s
best respected winemakers
(Heitz Cellars) and a couple of
rather less auspicious Oregon
Wines. The Wine Loft was suf
fering from a bit of split person
ality for awhile, as it attempted
to purvey a sophisticated wine
drinking atmosphere in the front
half of the loft, while guys
quaffed beers and threw darts at
the other end. However, this is
Eugene, and who are we to limit
the boundaries of the
improbable?
