So you see because an establishment says its provides gluten free food, doesn't always mean that it does, mainly because of human error

Spot on Jay, it was an omelet, served upstairs in the Market Hall. I very carefully explained the need for it to be untainted by bread or other gluten food. When it arrived it looked like no omelet I have ever seen and had probably been a couple of eggs stirred around in a frying pan. The ensuing results were pretty bad and we could only assume that the pan had been used to do fried bread.
However, there are quite a number of local eating establishments that are fully aware of the requirements for a gluten free dish, serving and kitchen staff are obviously well trained in those places - went to one last night, the Grey Mare - the waitress was quite knowledgeable, so no problems.
An earlier posting compared diabetics to coeliacs - sorry but that is like comparing apples and strawberries. If you took the time to compare the relevant prices in Asda/Tesco/Morrison's between ordinary foods and gluten free foods you may be in a position to comment.
Is it alright to provide drugs or alcohol to people who have self inflicted themselves with the problem. If it is then what is wrong with providing the basic staple foods to people who have a condition that is no fault of theirs.
If you have no knowledge or experience of the subject then I suggest that you refrain from commenting on the subject.
