What Brands of Frozen Bread Dough are Gluten-Free?
roocat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Coming back to this year-old article to say that on occasion I've found gluten-free pizza dough in the deli section at Aldi. Their gluten-free selection is quite variable, but when they have it, it's pretty decent. I could see baking it in a small loaf pan as a bread. -
McCormick and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning
roocat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
The problem with all these seasonings is that even if they are gluten-free, they are mostly salt. Far better to mix your own and control the sodium content than rely on any of the commercial mixes. -
Top Gluten-Free and Gluten-Removed Beers
roocat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Pasta

Exactly. I'm 65. Diagnosed when I was around 2. Been eating gluten-free a long time. I choose what risks I take, and generally do just fine. If I have problems with a meal, I know who to blame. There is no permanent damage from a single exposure in someone who is otherwise healed and sticking to the diet.

These days I believe restaurant workers, at least in higher-end restaurants, are sufficiently well trained. They handle other types of special diets, whether those of necessity or choice. The problem with restaurants and the gluten-free diet is, rather, the fad nature that it has acquired. Too many people sit down, go through a huge to-do about needing something...

I believe I read about this case previously. My guess (and that's all it is), is that he verified that the soup base was gluten-free, but that, instead of prepping him a new bowl, they simply took the crouton off an existing bowl. If that crouton sat on the soup for any length of time at all, the soup would have been contaminated with crumbs. That being said...
