"Framing it as a New Year’s resolution, ice cream whizzes Salt & Straw are launching an all-vegan seasonal menu today (January 5), and it’ll be available at every Portland location (and online). And don’t expect the vegan ice cream standards like coconut green tea — there’s chocolate hazelnut fudge, lemon cheesecake using “cheeze”-maker Heidi Ho’s products, and to celebrate Elvis’ birth month, a banana-coconut creation with peanut butter fudge, marionberry jam, and faux-bacon made with tamari, smoked tea, maple, and coconut, evoking the star’s sandwich fillings of choice. The menu will run through to Thursday February 1." - Tim Forster
