We have in the past, when out with a coeliac friend, had a Beefeater go and get their list of ingredients to check, and others when asked about the presence of nuts (which give me painful mouth ulcers) have been able to check, either with the chef or in one case I'll go and look at the box it came in!!! My other peeve is in restaurants with help-yourself salad bars - where people insist on using the wrong tongs so you end up with beetroot (yuck!) in the cucumber. or mayonnaise from the pasta stuff (they call that salad???) mixed in with the peppers g -- Jane Partridge To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.

Fw: [lace-chat] Buffalo wings and spicy foods
For years now I have refused to eat out (my total lack of saliva meant my meal choices in most places were nil but this year we found a pub that made the most delicious steak and ale pie with lashings of lovely gravy which meant I could eat it (or as much as my little appetite would allow which is another reason I didn't like to spent vast sums of money on food that had to be left on the plate). We had a couple of good experiences after that and then went out to a local pub close to home for an anniversary meal only to find it mostly inedible. Needless to say we haven't repeated it. Luckily my DH makes a beautiful sweet and sour sauce and a curry with lovely flavour but without the heat as well as other foods which encourages some enjoyment of food instead of a real trial. Salads and other foods feel like acid in my mouth.

Re: [lace-chat] Buffalo wings and spicy foods
Alice wrote There seems to be a fad in the USA for spicy foods in all the fast food chains, restaurants, and in processed foods. Sometimes I have to read a long way on a menu to find something without spice (which I don't like). Hear, hear!! and not only in the USA. I have allergies and trying to get it into the heads of cooks in the kitchen that I don't want pepper, spices, onions, etc on my food is sometimes like banging one's head on a brick wall (the only difference is that I can stop banging my own head, but can't get cooks to understand). On one occasion, at a restaurant on the outskirts of Oxford, England, my meal went back 3 times! And that was after I had explained ALL my allergies to the waitress who said she understood because she had a brother who had severe allergies. Everyone had finished their main course by the time my meal finally arrived. For some reason chef's (and I use the term very loosely) seem to think that everyone wants paprika or similar on their food 'to make it look pretty'. The fact that it is inedible for me seems to be a realisation 10 ft above their stupid little heads.

Re: [lace-chat] Buffalo wings and spicy foods
According to urban legend..which may or may not be true...Buffalo wings are chicken wings with a spicy sauce on them. Supposedly, they were first created and sold to the public in Buffalo, New Yorkthus the name was created. There seems to be a fad in the USA for spicy foods in all the fast food chains, restaurants, and in processed foods. Sometimes I have to read a long way on a menu to find something without spice (which I don't like). Sometimes I think the cooks put spice in things so they can hide the fact that they don't know how to make flavorful foods without it. Alice in Oregon...where my back yard is a vast mess of mud. A large area is scooped out for a concrete driveway. Huge piles of dirt line the yard next to the street, waiting to be hauled away. At the same time, the house has been power washed in preparation for painting. I can see the painters and cement people conflicting. The back side of the house may have the painting delayed while the concrete sets. And both sets of workers are trying to get done before winter weather really sets in. Tomorrow is supposed to have heavy rain. Ahhh..if only the concrete people had done their job two weeks ago when it was scheduled instead of delaying. - Original Message - or hot sauces like used on buffalo wings, which include butter). The wings must be very large and therefore feed many to lift a buffalo off the ground! To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
