Target Field's vegetarian food is something to aim for

Zoom in: Beyond the typical snacks — popcorn, peanuts, soft pretzels — Target Field has nearly a dozen vegetarian-friendly entrees, from pizzas, burgers and tacos to a food stand from local specialty shop the Herbivorous Butcher.

What I ordered: The vegan channa from Hot Indian, another local restaurant with its own stall along the main concourse.

• Chickpeas simmered in a tomato-based masala sauce are served over steamed brown rice, with crispy chickpeas and a mango and apple slaw.

Cost: $14.99, which I didn't think was half bad for a fresh and filling meal at a stadium.

The bottom line: Here's hoping Victory Field adds more options in the future, beyond the black bean burger and veggie dog currently available.
