Tea • Pasta • Pizza • Coffee
"I went to the Taste food company in Dublin City today for lunch. It has good reviews on find me gluten free. I ordered a club sandwich on gluten free bread. When it came out I asked the server if it was definitely the gf bread to which he said yes. I started to eat the sandwich and as I was about halfway through I just had a gut feeling the bread was not gluten free. I asked a different server and he took one look at my Sandwich and said it was not gf and immediately took it away and profusely apologised after I said I was coeliac and had already double checked with the other waiter. I unfortunately ate a whole half of a sandwich that was not gluten free. They offered me a free tea or coffee and offered to remake the sandwich, at this point I knew I just needed to start making my way home before I became unwell. They took it off the bill but I asked to speak to the manager who asked for my name and number. He then proceeded to say he would call tomorrow to see “if” I was sick in the end and to see how bad I would be. I find it quite infuriating when people underestimate the severity of being glutened. It is not a fad or a choice, it is a disease and whether someone is symptomatic (I am) or not it still has long term affects on the gut. I felt stupid for double checking but it just shows how important it is."
