Just for a laugh...!

We were at a National Trust property, recently, and decided to have lunch. A sign said: Please tell us if you have any food allergies...so I told the gentleman who served me..."I'm Coeliac."

Seeing the fleeting 'blank' look that crossed his countenance, I elaborated, "I cant have anything with flour, but it's okay anyway, I'm having a baked potato with cheese, so my only concern is

cross-contamination."

He assured me that the tongs were, as yet, unused, so there wouldn't be a problem, then called out to the other staff member...

"One baked potato with cheese, please Mabel...and be careful...the lady is a CELERIAC!

Boom, boom

It wouldn't be so funny if the cheese came into them ready-grated, with a wheat based anti-clogging agent! Quite frequently I find the planned jacket and cheese turns into jacket and butter.

P.S. sorry to be a misery guts. It WAS funny!

A word of warning as you stay away from home a lot, many hotels add wheat flour to their buffet scrambled eggs, it's not to make them go further but to keep them looking fresher for longer...

As for being a misery guts that's what gluten does to us LOL.

Lastly this is funny but it is also sad as it shows how there is a gross lack of awareness amongst many wheaties.

Fortunately I'm saved from hotel scrambled eggs by being a hen-owning diva. Nobody else cooks them right and I don't think they can hide flour in fried eggs! But that is good intelligence Jerry, I didn't know that about catering scrambled eggs and will let some people know. Thanks!

Flour in scrambled eggs? Good god whatever next?

I've been Coeliac from day 1 and never heard of the scrambled egg trick! Someone is trying to take us out! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

Funny but frustrating
