went to town yeserday and by 5 was starveing so started the search for something to eat, in the end i went to the chippy to pick fish n chips up for the boys and hubby, i was in a kind of argumentative mood so i thought ide start asking the owner of the chippy about how he cooked chips etc and his ingrediants, well it backfired on me BIG TIME, it turns out that he is the first chippy in wales to run a celiac friendly chippy, i was GOB SMACKED to say the least, the oil is groung nut oil he uses seperate fryer and utensils for the food and to cap it off he uses gluten-free batter which is also lactose free. so i orderd 4 big bags of chips and fish, couldnt wait to start eating so was nibbling in the car on the way home andim fine this am. for uk ( ers) its in tenby. plus i didnt pay over the top and it was the same amount as other people pay for " normal fish n chips". AMAZING!!!!!!

You lucky devil!! :)

I'm yet to find a chippy in our town who even knows what 'cross contamination' and 'dedicated fryer ' means!

Hubbie really misses fish and chips.

Well done you!! :D

One more reason to add to the list of why I want to visit my ancestral home. I don't suppose you could get his recipe? :D I am so glad for you that you found this place and I am sure you will visit it often.

If not I use 60/40 buckwheat flour and rice flour .. works really well but I have to remember not to have it too often.

Here's a recipe we have used before-not sure how you convert measurements though as we use different here in Uk:

4oz G.F Flour (Rice flour)

Half a teaspoon of salt

5 fluid oz + 1 tablespoon of water

Mix flour & salt in a bowl & gradually add water whisking until smooth.

N.B-Keep the water in the fridge for an hour before mixing batter as it improves crispiness.

I found this recipe works out ok-but I must admit it didn't have the same crunch as wheat fl batter.Made a pleasant change though.

Here's a link to a company in Scotland that sells G.F batter mix for fish and chips-it looks great but I haven't tried it yet as it's a bit pricey!!

Yum!! :lol:

Thanks I'll have to try this. I used to make a beer batter and it needed to sit on a rack for a bit after battering, otherwise the batter fell off in the fryer. Would I need to do the same with this?

I just coated the fish in G.F flour and I found that the batter stuck sufficiently-

Happy Frying! :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
