Greenpoint Food Market February: A Food Affair
Saturday, 12-5 p.m., Greenpoint Church of the Messiah

Says organizer Joann Kim, “Expect enough hearts to nauseate your love radar, wear your brightest lipstick and bring along someone to kiss in front of our photo booth.” Vendors/foods will include iheartkeenwah quinoa mix, Sandwich Friend sandwiches, Sourpuss Pickles pickles, Morta di Fame Sicilian street food, Kombucha Brooklyn kombucha, Arirang Kimchi kimchi, Hale Seitan seitan and pate and Bean & Apple sweet sauces and baked goods (lots of newcomers, it seems!). And, of course, Cobra Pate, raw vegan nut-pates, in 3 new, Valentine’s-Day-friendly flavors:

• Hearts Afire (Macadamia nut, red pepper, red chiles, Hawaiian sea salt)
• Let Love Grow (cashews, nutmeg, fennel and mustard seed)
• Spread It On Your Spouse (actual name pending; almonds, basil, star anise & honey)

Warning: pates may be prone to cause that lovin’ feeling – almonds, basil, fennel, honey, mustard and nutmeg are thought to be aprodisiacs stimulating female passion, fertility, desire, male arousal and the sexual glands. Ahem.
