    I think most eateries will make the effort if you explain the problem. Our older daughter is Coeliac and we took her to a Chinese restaurant for her 18th (22 years ago). We thought everything was wonderful. Until they brought out birthday cake........

    I find that getting restaurants to do me primal/paleo food is not usually any trouble. I just ask for extra mushrooms or something instead of bread, i will usually eat potatoes & chips (if fried in lard). I have not been refused yet.
    Why use a sledge hammer to crack a nut when a steam roller is even more effective, and, is fun to drive.

    do you ask restaurants to fry your chips in lard?

    This is something i do at home but can't imagine asking in a restaurant, just assuming a) they wouldn't have lard on the premises and b) their deep fat fryer would be full of something else already

    No, I ask if they do it. If they don't I then ask for an alternative.

    Welcome! I'm in (not-so-Paleo/Primal) Cheshire

    I find that in cities, it's easy enough to get gluten free options. Occasionally, when eating out, I do have to settle for something that isn't 100% Primal/paleo, but it has to be gluten free as an absolute minimum due to being coeliac. We have a bar/restaurant here in Leeds though which does fab primal/paleo options (the guy who owns it is a Crossfitter) so it's slowly starting to catch on.


    Which restaurant is that PaleoPanda? I go to Leeds a few times a month for work.
