Dear All,

First an apology for my silence in the last couple of
months.  My e-mail is at work and the last 10 weeks have
been totally MAD at work, with so much training and
teaching that I have had no time to write to this list.

Anyone in the UK or proposing to visit may be interested to
know that the supermarket chain "Asda" marks ALL its
own-brand foods gluten-free or not as the case may be.  The
interest for US listers is that Wal-mart bought this chian
up earlier this year.  I understand that they are not
nearly so good at marking in the 'States.  Perhaps a
concentrated write-in is needed to point out how well their
subsidiary is doing in the UK and ask that Wal-mart itself
does the same.

Sadly Asda still do not make many ready meals which are
gluten-free.  Even their onion bhahjis which should be made
from pure gram flour, contain wheat flour - sad really.  At
least their seasonal Christmas goods shelves were full of
naughty chocolate and sweet things clearly marked GLUTEN
FREE (Yea!!).  Herself will now put on pounds over the
holiday :-)

All the best for Christmas and the New Year to you all,

Regards

David (and Karin)
