[QUOTE="Outlier, post: 2516114, member: 550046"] Having checked the menus online, as NicoleC says, don't underestimate how helpful people can be if we only give them the chance. Most chefs/maitres d' rather like the consideration of the message going through in advance that we need to avoid certain foods, and will happily check out what we can eat e.g. no dressing on salads, as already mentioned, meat or fish without sauces, no carby veg. and so on. Quite a few people in the industry have diabetes as well, though not everyone sticks to a diabetes-friendly diet because that depends on whether they are getting the right information, and whether they are willing to follow it (just like us!). So rather than the (perfectly legitimate) decision-making being made during the stress of the mealtime schedule, do give them the opportunity to make changes to the actual menu in advance. It does take away the pleasure of ordering on the spot at the time, but saves an awful lot of worry too. Win-win! [/QUOTE]
