I really object to making gluten-free people out to be prissy, demanding and rigid. Nobody sez that to people who religiously avoid rat poison.Exceptionally Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177479330600606059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-50385005647078373782015-02-08T13:41:34.735-08:002015-02-08T13:41:34.735-08:00Yes, Jan, these utensils are usually available. A...Yes, Jan, these utensils are usually available. And, if they had put out actual plates, I wouldn't have to go back for seconds. All they had were tiny appetizer plates. I didn't worry all that much about the other supplies, since I always bring a cloth napkin and real silverware with me. I was especially disappointed because I know that this caterer handles gluten-free food and also trains other groups on providing a gluten-free dining experience. However, even though they were knowledgeable about which food was gluten-free, the set-up was sort of a disaster. Make-your-own-sandwich bars aren't good, because the bread is at the beginning and everything goes downhill from there. Even though I rushed to be first in line, there were lines on both sides, and wouldn't you know it, the second person in line schmeared the condiments all over her bread just before I could grab it. It I actually had a spoon at that moment, I could have grabbed some of it before she swished the spoon all over the bread and put the contaminated spoon back. This should just be catering 101. I attended a catered event shortly after diagnosis and they really got it. All the staff knew exactly what was in the food. All the entree selections were gluten-free, and the bread was at the very end. Same with the desserts. The stuff I could eat at the front, all the cakes only at the end.Exceptionally Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177479330600606059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-14841449049071757942015-02-08T10:40:16.845-08:002015-02-08T10:40:16.845-08:00The people who are not careless are too boring for...The people who are not careless are too boring for a movie. How a free-spirited person can follow any restrictions? Gluten-free person is almost like a Grinch who stills Christmas every day of his/her life. <br />I regularly encounter people who think that allergies are all in my head.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-75586445904912232682015-02-07T08:17:39.860-08:002015-02-07T08:17:39.860-08:00Well crockery, napkins, the correct utensils and e...Well crockery, napkins, the correct utensils and enough of them should always be provided at a catered event ... even when having a home event you make these available don't you?<br /><br />All the best Jan Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.com
