    ARCHIVED Chinese Food

    NJKen replied to LDJofDenver's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Unless you go to PF Chang's, you are probably limited to only those entrees with white sauce (made with corn starch). Almost everything else at a typical Chinese restaurant is made with soy sauce, and most Chinese restaurants use soy sauce that has wheat as an ingredient. Some restaurant menus that I've seen have a dieter's menu (intended for people who...

    All of those ingredients should be gluten-free. Some spices have flour as an ingredient, so you may want to check with your spice producer about that.

    I'm confused by this comment. What does the use of organic vs. conventional crop management methods have to do with the potential for nut contamination in the nut-free varieties of Larabar?

    I was in Fort Collins five years ago, shortly after I was diagnosed. I went to Sri Thai and started to explain my dietary restrictions, and my jaw nearly hit the table when the server asked, "Would you like to see our gluten-free menu?" I had a great dinner, and my business colleagues took me there for lunch the next day. I highly recommend this restaurant...

    I like Doc's Hard Pear Cider. The same brand also has apple and framboise (raspberry/apple). Open Original Shared Link

    There are numerous Indian restaurants in the area that have gluten-free food. I have often eaten at Crown of India in the Princeton Meadows Shopping Center and Passage to India in Lawrenceville on Alternate Route 1. There are a couple in downtown Princeton as well. PF Chang's is a few miles south on Route 1 at the Market Fair Mall, as Amybeth mentioned...

    ARCHIVED Philadelphia, Pa

    Mr. Ritts has left Philadelphia and is now located in Millville, NJ.

    Last summer I was in Helsinki for a couple of days and ate at these restaurants: Rosso Restaurant -- gluten-free pizza and risotto Raffaella -- gluten-free items indicated on the menu, and gluten-free bread available I also ate in restaurants in Naantali and Fiskars. Wherever I went, the servers spoke English well and were familiar with the gluten...

    ARCHIVED Help Food!

    NJKen replied to hez's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    I forgot one restaurant in my first post. I received this message a few months ago from a celiac friend of mine: We just ate at the Blue Bottle Cafe in Hopewell, and they had asterisks on the menu to denote celiac-friendly items: all three salads, four entrees, and one dessert! The dessert was pavlova with raspberry sorbet, some sauce and fresh berries...

    ARCHIVED Help Food!

    NJKen replied to hez's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Princeton is about a 15 minute drive from Hopewell when there is little traffic, but in rush hour it can easily be at least double that time. From Hopewell take Rt 518 east to Rt 206 south into Princeton. For grocery shopping, in Princeton on Nassau Street (Rt 27) there is a health food store called Olive May that has a lot of gluten-free foods. The...

    The eel sushi is usually covered in a brown sauce that is not safe. The other "true" fish sushis should be fine.

    I have heard that the Owl Tree in Harvey Cedars has a gluten-free menu, but I haven't been there to check it out. Give them a call.

    Continental Airlines has done well for me. Whenever I've ordered a gluten-free meal they have had it on the flight. Domestic flights that do not cross the continent, however, do not have regular meal service, and they do not have gluten-free "snacks" available when they serve sandwiches to others. The gluten-free meals on Continental are usually very...

    I used to enjoy wheat beers. Is there any gluten-free beer that is similar to a wheat beer in flavor?
  16. NJKen
    Their goods are sold in other stores. I've been able to buy The Grainless Baker breads, cookies, and cakes at Olive May in Princeton, NJ.

    In 2003 I visited Fort Collins and went to dinner at Sri Thai, a few blocks west of the university campus. When I began to explain to the server what I had to avoid, she asked, "Would you like to see our gluten-free menu" They had clearly marked, on a copy of their regular menu, which items were gluten-free. That's how I learned the danger of oyster sauce...

    My experience has been that nearly every entree on the menu at Indian restaurants is gluten-free. They use chickpea flour (also called gram flour) rather than wheat flour for thickening sauces or coating meats. A few appetizers have wheat, and of course the naan bread, but you should feel safe entering just about any Indian restaurant to get a gluten-free...

    That's one heckuva trip you're taking. Anyway, I was in Norway two summers ago. At each of the four hotels I stayed in, the servers at the breakfast buffet knew exactly what "gluten-free" meant, and at three of the four they had gluten-free bread or crispbread in stock. (I spoke only English during my trip, and had no communication problems.) I had...

    Stage Left can probably accommodate you, unless you're a student and can't afford the prices. It's at the corner of George Street and Livingston Avenue, and the menu includes "apple and fennel risotto", "roasted organic chicken" with polenta and pesto, and a few other meat and seafood entrees which might be gluten-free. I haven't eaten there yet, so I do...

    The link in the original post in this thread is no longer active, and nobody has actually given the name and location of this place. (Cape Cod is a big place.) Can someone provide a few details? Thanks in advance!

    In Finland there is a corn beer; it's named "Indian Beer" or something like that, with the face of a Plains Indian in a traditional head dress on the can.

    I posted this on another thread, but haven't gotten a response, so I've spun it off on its own: I haven't tried Redbridge, or any of the other gluten-free beers, because I don't like the taste of hops. I used to enjoy wheat beer, which has wheat instead of hops, but of course that had a double dose of gluten. Do any of the currently available gluten...

    ARCHIVED My Rant

    NJKen replied to Rpm999's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    There will always be niche markets catering to people with special diets, including gluten-free, in relatively affluent societies--i.e. North America, Western and Northern Europe, and eventually in eastern Asia. I think that we will remain, however, just a blip on the radar screen. Wheat is grown on ~60 million acres (~24 million hectares) in the U.S...
