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.

I couldn't agree more, both DD and I are allergic to all forms of dairy
food, and certainly in the UK when eating out desserts are all but
impossible. In restaurants they very rarely understand what is actually
in the food they are serving up.
I tend to have salad rather than chips/veg when I'm out, but I always ask
for it without onion or dressing... there have been several places where
I've been told "we don't dress our salads" only to be served a dressed
salad... the worst are those where it looks on the surface that the salad
isn't dressed, but under the top leaves, there hides the dressing....
would they really like me to bring the lot back up? With (raw) onion, it
is a matter of dislike, so if the slices are large I will occasionally
pick it out and pass it to my husband - but finely chopped and the whole
lot has to go back.
