Dear Listserve Members:

This was such an informative e-mail that I wanted to share the information.

The e-mailer was just in the UK (England and Scotland) last month, and found
it relatively easy to find gluten-free food. Many restaurants were familiar
with it, and weren't put off by requests. A couple of easy meals:

1) Jacket potatoes, with various toppings, are a meal standard, and are
usually served with a side salad. 

2) Marks & Spencer Food-to-Go have already prepared meals that are healthy
and relatively inexpensive, such as salad meals. While many of the salad
meals had pasta in them, there were enough that didn't.

3) AMT coffee shop (like a Starbucks) has gluten-free bars at the check-out
counter.

4) Holland and Barrets health food store chain sell gluten-free bread,
crackers, cookies, etc.

5) Boots Chemist has some gluten-free items, and sometimes prepared meals.

6) Grocery stores such as Tesco and Sainsbury have gluten-free items.

7) Several chain restaurants have gluten-free menus: 
Smollensky's (American fare - but I think they're only in London), La Tasca
(Spanish Tapas, 39-43 Renfield Street, Glasgow, Tel: 0141 204 5188), and
Wagamama (Stir Fry - the one in Glasgow is at: 97-103 West George street,
tel: + 44 (0) 141 229 1468). 

8) In Edinburgh, eat at Always Sunday Food Company, near St. Giles Cathedral
at 170 High Street (the Royal Mile), tel: +44 (0) 131 622 0667. It's a
healthy place to eat and they know gluten-free.
