Peepshi
Peeps season is upon us. Before you indulge, or duck and run, Serious Eats has invented something I never thought I would see: Peepshi. Peeps sushi! It looks super easy and these guys are super adorable. Check out the beginner’s guide to the Peepshi tradition at the bottom of the blog, which calls for a slight departure from your average sushi-eating customs. My favorite tip? That would be #2:Do not eat an entire Peeps roll. Unless it’s a challenge. (Honor must be kept at all costs.)

Veggie Franks Hit the Stands
Vegetarian Sox fans, rejoice! Fenway Park is falling in line with many local restaurants by offering a meat-free version of the classic Fenway frank. As a former vegetarian who has admittedly indulged in the real thing (it just doesn’t feel right not to have a frank at Fenway), I see this as great news for Boston’s herbivores or anyone trying to reduce the amount of meat they eat. This veggie frank is just one of the new food options Fenway is rolling out for the park’s 99th season, including meatball subs, brick-oven pizzas, chicken parmesan sandwiches and spicy veggie burgers. If you head to opening day this Sunday, give us a shout and let us know what you think of the new choices. 

UPDATE: Munch Madness Final Four
Two weeks ago in Tidbits we wrote about Boston.com’s Munch Madness bracket. Well, the Final Four were announced earlier this week, and look who’s duking it out: Toro vs. Hungry Mother and Orinoco vs. East Coast Grill. Today is your last day to vote, so vote while you can!

Meeting of the Meats
The next Meat Meet is happening this Saturday, April 3rd, 3pm. Pre-order here. New to this? Read up.

Spring Market Announcement
Attleboro Farms’ Spring Farmer’s Market begins today. The market, which was held on Sundays through the winter, will now shift to Thursdays from 3-7pm through June. Although the market manager has said they will lose some vendors due to the day change, many will continue through the Spring season.

Sustainable Seafood
Last week Trader Joe’s committed to shifting all of their seafood purchases to sustainable sources by December 31, 2012. The nationwide chain says they are working with third-party organizations to establish a hard definition for their goal. TJ’s also reports they will use their purchasing power to help promote change within the seafood supply community. This announcement comes less than a year after Greenpeace gave Trader Joe’s a whopping ‘F’ for selling over-fished species and launched a site mocking the store’s own. That website, TraitorJoe.com, has officially claimed victory: “Trader Joe’s has seen the light and is finally working towards sustainable seafood policies. Thanks to all who helped with this campaign.”
