Restaurant Foods

[Guest guest]

Due to circumstances I had to eat dinner twice this week at a local

restaurant. I wanted to eat light and had the seafood mixed grill. All

mild fishes (salmon, snapper, tuna) and a tiny lobster tail. The

problem, and I had a feeling about this, was the garlicky seasoning. It

was almost like a steak seasoning. Naturally I asked for " no seasoning "

just a side of lemon, but it came seasoned anyway. I'm sorry I ate this

because I have a feeling the garlic seasoning wasn't legal. It's hard

to trust a lot of those kitchens, because they're used to grabbing

those shakers on all orders. I even looked at the steak seasoning I

used to use...first ingredient is SUGAR. Who knew???

Best wishes,

Ronnie

We did.

Elaine is often quoted on her comment that " fanatical adherance " is required. I

don't know

how this can be stated any more emphatically!

Did you read page 78, paragraph 3 edition 10 of BTVC?

" I wanted to eat light and had the seafood mixed grill. All mild

The big concern that I would have with a seafood mix is that things

like " crab " meat is often imitation crab (white fish, wheat flour and

other things).

I think the safest thing to order in a restaurant is a steak that has

not been marinated and ask for it to be cooked in a skillet, not on

the grill.

But unless you watch the food being prepared, there is never any way

to be 100% certain that it will be okay for SCD.
