Pastry Flour & Buckwheat

Two things I've seen on TV lately that realy bugged me:

First, I was watching Paula Deen on the Food Network a few days ago, and she had some guest cook with her who claimed that Pastry Flour is gluten-free. Simply wrong, yes?

Second, I am watching Chopped right now, and one of the cooks said that Buckwheat Flour is "highly glutenous." I hope she meant simply "sticky," and not actually full of gluten.

Grrrr.

Pastry flour is a low-protein flour, but it certainly isn't gluten free!

I don't know why I like to watch cooking shows when I can't eat 95% of what they're making (multiple food intolerances).

I'd love to see one of those cooking competitive shows have a competition where the chefs have to SAFELY prepare a gluten-free meal. Can't you just see Gordan Ramsey yelling "You used the wrong pan! Cook it over!"

The term "gluten" is used internationally to mean a grain's protein, like wheat gluten, corn gluten, etc. But who knows what they meant when they called buckwheat that. It is a "sticky" sort of grain when mixed with water. Like sweet rice is called "glutenous" rice or mochi, it's stickier but it is gluten free if not cross contaminated.

Can't you just see Gordan Ramsey yelling "You used the wrong pan! Cook it over!"

LMAO !

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
