20 Moments of Foodie Joy That Only Coeliacs Can Relate To…
Because we are often *sad face emoji all over the place, getting accidentally glutened or missing out on foodie moments with friends & family, I thought it would be fun to reflect on the joy we DO find in this little coeliac journey of ours.
Let me know how many you relate to, & how you find snippets of gluten free JOY in your world 🙂
Jane x
1. When you wander into a café and discover that the ENTIRE cake cabinet is gluten free
2. Finding & then bonding with a new gluten free buddy
3. Being treated kindly & with understanding by a waiter when you ask about their coeliac safe kitchen practices
4. When the waiter is actually knowledgeable about coeliac disease & cross contamination
5. Finding a gluten free dessert on a menu that is NOT mud cake, orange-almond cake, pavlova or crème brulee (while normally lovely options, for the first 20 times they are consumed…these equate to ’making no effort’ for a coeliac)
6. Knowing that wine is gluten free. Always.
7. When you learn that the chef is a coeliac
8. When the ENTIRE menu is gluten free
9. Eating battered fish & chips (separate fryer joy!)
10. Biting into a gluten free burger that tastes like a burger
(ie. the ‘bun’ is neither the texture of chalk or so dense it forms a dead lump of dough in your stomach)
11. Biting into a macaron…little parcels of heaven!
12. When your friends bake gluten free especially for you so that you too can join in the foodie fun 🙂
13. When the prettiest cake in the cabinet is labeled Gluten Free
14. When the meal on the plane is NOT also dairy free
15. When the meal on the plane comes with an actual bread roll & not a stale rice cake
16. Biting into a gluten free sandwich & realising it is not the texture of cardboard
17. Finding a new gluten free range stocked in the supermarket
18. Waking up after a night out realising that you have NOT been glutened due to cross contamination
19. Walking in the doors of the annual Gluten Free Expo realising the WHOLE place is dedicated to bringing you foodie joy
20. Walking out of the annual Gluten Free Expo laden down with enough gluten free goodies to last you an eternity
