[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2410394, member: 480869"] I hear you. Practically I’ve found most places are happy to swap menu items around if you tell them you are medically unable to eat certain items (ie carbs). Once I get past the gluten free (high carb) options offered I’ve never had an issue. I do reassure them it’s not an allergy where I will keel over at the table though. I look for sides and accompanying items that are already on the menu and of relatively similar value and ask to swap. So chips, rice, pasta or bread get swapped for items that interest me. I’ve had pasta sauces over broccoli, extra mushrooms with steaks, eggs added to meals, sauces on the side for a taster rather than drowning, haloumi instead of chips, a combo of sides instead of a main as well as simply more veg or salad. Other people might think my combination are odd but I like them and that’s what matters. [/QUOTE]
