/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm celeac so I don't get a choice in the matter. Fucking hate the 'gluten is bad' folk, mainly because a lot of them half arse it and still eat small amounts, and it results in restraunts not fully taking the cross contamination thing seriously and leaves a bad name for the rest of us who have a genuine illness.

I saw a sign recently for a fish and chip shop who said gluten free batter was available, but the fish would be cooked in the same oil that the gluten containing stuff was cooked in. Simply catering to fad dieters whilst making it complicated for genuine celeacs.

One positive of it all though is that the fad dieters are creating more demand, resulting in more market interest and more gf products being created. There are a lot of decent breads, pastas and sweet stuff around now as a result so I cant complain too much.
