...on the way home from yoga, we were driving along Elbow Drive, as per usual, when Lee pointed something out that I have never really clocked before. Upon reflection, I'm not sure whether the amusement value of this outweighs the grave concern for public health and safety.
There is an establishment on Elbow Drive, near-ish to our house, that is called Western Pride Car Wash. So far, so good. Lower down on the signage, one learns that it is coin-operated, and also features a coin-op dog wash. Again, so far, so good. BUT, this fine example of the coin-op car and dog wash also proclaims its shawarmas, falafels, donairs, and sushi.... Sushi..... At a car and dog wash. And not a posh, high-end car wash, either. A coin-op one. I have an image of a guy, balancing his California roll, as he roots through his pockets for change, leaning against his filthy vehicle, as he restrains his large and grimy dog, in the cold cement bay of the Western Pride. Ye gods.
Dear readers, do we want our car washes serving sushi? I mean, the falafels and the donairs are bad enough, but at least they have the benefit of cooking, and all the bacteria-killing joys that cooking brings. Sooooo not the sushi. The worst part is that the good, old Western Pride seems to have been in business awhile. Is this the next wave of cuisine rolling into town? Are we going to find the flavours of the East accesible in all kinds of DIY situations, like carpet cleaning, pick-your-parts, etc? Yeesh... Not for the first time am I glad I'm a vegetarian.
