Yes, apparently there is! Which makes my sushi dinner last night a bit of a fail? I think for my sanity and that of anyone that I am around this month - lets say I'm avoiding "obvious wheat" ie. huge hunks of bread?
I went out for lunch yesterday and found it very difficult to choose something other than a salad - the restaurant offered rye bread, but short of having breakfast for lunch, had no sandwiches that could be put on rye - or maybe our waitress was a bit clueless? Nevertheless, I feel for people who are actually allergic to wheat - wheat seems to be lurking around every corner. I spent some time online this morning trying to get some advice about eating out on a wheat-free diet. It seems meat and veg are the way to go? I really don't want to start ordering hot chips every time I go out!
Is there wheat in risotto? oh wait... there's wine in there right? *sigh*
