G F Food In Exotic Countries

[angela-]

I will be traveling to Iceland, Armenia, Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bhutan, India, Ethiopia, Mali, Libya and Malta next month. Any ideas on foods or grains or local dishes in any of those areas which are gluten free?

Please help - any information is most appreciated.

I can't offer much help, but I am very jealous. I have always wanted to go to Iceland and Mongolia. I know that in Iceland, they eat a lot of fish and some wild game meats.

Indian food is delicious, and most gluten free!

They may have a dish called dhal bhatt... very tastey, they eat it in Nepal. (just north)

It consists of rice (bhatt), dhal (lentil soup type thing, makes the rice stick together to make it easier to eat with hands), and vegetables. The spices used are fine, but may be a little spicey to your liking.

Main thing while eating in India, don't eat raw fruits or vegetables unless they have been iodined! That will probably give you the most trouble.

Hope that helps, and have a safe travel!
