Have you found that, even though, you tell people what gluten is, in depth, they still don't understand? I get the "Oh I forgot" face or "Are you sure this has Gluten?" or "What kind of flour is that?". How about "Rice and potatoes have Gluten, so I'm sorry!" or "It's thickened with flour not wheat!". How about this, "I'm sorry, it has corn starch"! REALLY?!?!?!?!?
I have figured out some sayings to make them feel stupid for not listening...
- Oh, is your head up your ass because you didn't hear what I said?
- Because you're a stoner and are stuck at your dead beat job doesn't mean I am coning here looking for weed. I said Wheat or Flour.
- What part of corn starch has wheat or flour?
- Since when did rice or potatoes have gluten?
- You work in the food industry and you dont know what gluten is? No wonder you work here!
Can you tell I have had some frustrating moments? And, YES, I have said some mean things, but then I get up and walk out. This is with 6-8 people sitting at the table.
Anyways, I have learned to talk to the chef directly or through a manager when I first get to a restaurant. Bypass the idiots or the servers. They never took any courses in regards to food preparation, just handling. If its a good chef, they will give you options and point out items on the menu you can enjoy.
Hope this last bit helps you in you challenge to eat out Gluten Free.
Happy eating, learning and living! Gluten Free...
