The food labelling for allergens has also become much clearer, which is not only good for me but excellent for other people who may be trying to feed me.
Restaurants in the UK, in my opinion, have been slow to catch up with the change of dietary needs within the population and I am always very wary when eating out, so when I see a menu with GF written next to items, I still get stupidly excited.
This weekend contained one of those excited moments. For a little change to our normal busy weekend schedule, we decided to go out for breakfast on Saturday morning. After dropping off my bike at the shop for a well overdue service, we drove into town to Urban Angel on Forth Street. I had checked the menu on the web the night before and they had a good assortment of delights to choose from so was looking forward to my breakfast.
After a quick look at the menu and a double check of what they could offer I decided to go with the same as my lovely companion. French toast with organic bacon and maple syrup!
To say that it was fantastically, mouth wateringly tasty is an under statement. I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Such a simple dish to make, but the fact that I could order the same as a non gluten free person was so pleasing.
Obviously this could be easy, even for me, to make at home but the added decadence of going out for breakfast was just lovely. It's true that life is about enjoying the little things and for me those little things often revolve around food.
I did not take a photo of my delicious food so here is a rainbow instead.

That sounds yummy. You were the first person I had ever met who ate gluten free and I've often thought of how much nicer it must be for you now that so many shops seem to have a good gluten free section.
Thanks Alicia, yes getting easier and easier all the time thankfully. Hope you're well.
