I meant that as an honor.
It all came back to me when I saw the still.
I actually just got Ethiopian the other day (wat and tibs!) with someone with coeliac, and they were able to call ahead to get a special all-teff batch made. They still gave us a basket of the half-wheat version for those of us who didn’t need the gluten-free option. So it can be had!

Thanks!!!
Mr. Bells, (who has celiac disease, for the people keeping score at home) glanced over as I was reading the headline, shook his head, and said “sounds about right.” He’s pretty used to the only thing he can eat somewhere being something he hates.

For most people she stopped existing around that time so the visual worked.

I have food allergies that are super simple (in theory) to work around. Usually it’s a matter of avoiding cross-contamination, but sometimes I have to have the food prepared specially. When this happens, it’s usually fine, but sometimes I get brought something that looks and tastes like hospital food.
I was a flashback, but also I was remembering incorrectly. That’s Barney’s girlfriend who is essentially a parody of Yoko Ono, not actually Yoko Ono herself.
Also, I’m just finding out now, in an art show in 2016 Yoko Ono put out a plum floating in perfume in a man’s hat as a sculpture.

In our super market, there is gluten-free bacon. I guess the rest are from wheat pigs.

That’s an issue with regulators lacking teeth. It should disappear once some people are put to jail.

It’s silly, sometimes, what they’ll label as “gluten-free”. On the other hand, I cannot tell you how many times we have brought home something from the grocery store that has no reason to contain gluten but does anyway. Barley malt catches us a lot. Or flour used as a base for whatever seasonings are on something. They don’t just put “sea salt and cracked pepper” directly onto the food product, they mix those things with flour first, and then coat the chips or whatever in that.
I would never have suspected something like soy sauce, but 99% of the supermarket brands are indeed fermented with wheat.

It really is almost too easy to be appreciated as a foreigner in Korea. If you display a normal level of good behaviour and decency you’re in. Which could lead you to conclusions about either the friendliness of Koreans or their preconceptions of foreigners.
I got complimented on multiple occasions for being “able to eat” Korean food. Uhm, yes, that stuff is delicious.

He probably thought he would get one of the seven different allergen free meals they list on their website:

When i fly I always ask for a special meal. Usually vegan or kosher. I’m neither vegan nor Jewish. And I always get it. And its usually delicious.

Let me expand that to “pay an exorbitant amount for something that makes the peanut butter smash sandwich I brought look good by comparison”.
