   Had to book an AirBNB with a microwave in France because searching for a restaurant that can cater to coeliacs in Brittany resulted in “these guys can do salad without toast.”

   I expect coeliacs in France just … die?

     Southern Europe: of course we cater gluten free! We are not animals!

     UK and Ireland: We have some provision in certain restaurants

     France: Eat ze poison devil grass then fucking die. I do not care.

     @kitten_tech @zoe Pizza Express, Pho, Las Iguanas. All safe. Beyond that, it feels like a bit of a gamble.

     @zoe @goatsarah things were better for a bit when GF was a trendy diet, but it's veganism's turn now! Which would be nice for me (a vegetarian) except it's all "fake meat" type vegan food, and as a LIFELONG vegetarian, that's a bit gross from my perspective 😆 my wife and I are in a dark time for easy food!

     @kitten_tech @goatsarah Yeah, in the UK it’s generally “here is my list of restaurant chains I know are safe”

     @goatsarah my wife is gluten intolerant, and attempting to feed her (southern UK) when out and about is such a gamble. Sometimes there's just nothing available. I have a stock of GF pot noodle type things in the van with equipment to boil water, just to be sure I can feed her in a pinch. But "group of friends just nipping out to lunch together" isn't a thing we can generally do.

     @ajlanes @goatsarah @zoe Cinderford (near the forest of dean) has a GF chip shop! 40 mins drive from home but we make occasional pilgrimages, or stop there if we are in the area anyway!

     @goatsarah @kitten_tech @zoe We felt very lucky finding a gf chippy in Glasgow. Less lucky with the entirely unsafe conference centre offerings.
