Rare Roz Posted May 11, 2010 #51 Share Posted May 11, 2010 A little off topic, but related, my sister owns an Italian restaurant, and makes her own bread and pasta. Half the world is now allergic to gluten :D , and people are constantly asking her why she doesn't have gluten free menu items. Short of serving them a salad with some grilled chix or shrimp on it, what do they want her to do? Try making Italian bread or pasta without gluten.

I have seen gluten-free bread mixes and pastas at my local grocery store. I won't recommend them very strange after-taste!!!! I had an uncle with celliac disease stay with me for a couple of weeks last fall. I was lucky that there is an aisle dedicated to gluten-free items at the store. Otherwise I would have been completely lost! I was amazed by how many things that you wouldn't think had gluten (salsa and taco meat seasoning, for instance) actually do.

Rare Roz Posted May 11, 2010 #53 Share Posted May 11, 2010 A gluten free mix wouldn't result in the quality of bread and pasta my sister wants her restaurant to be know for. But yes, it can be done. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahassiddasairy Posted May 11, 2010 Author #54 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If gluten-free people are surprised at the lack of a gluten-free pasta option, that probably means they're able to get it somewhere. I know I read one review (I think for Celebrity) where the pizza chef agreed to make the reviewer a gluten-free pizza. She said it didn't taste very good, but she appreciated the effort.
