travelling to Uk

[south711]

Well here is one for you all.
I will be coming back to the Uk next week.
Knowing that I will be meeting friends and dining out for most of the times.
not looking forward to eating out. as one thing I miss over here is English fish and chips. sausages, and meat pies.
I know all bad for me. it will be when I am on my own that I would want these things.

Any suggestions: on what to eat when dining out. love fish, infact most things. Things I cannot get in France. I stock up with them. I know......., I know,but when you live so far away from normal food. sorry. the French have wonderful meals. but there are things that you miss out here. I come over every couple of years, and friends bring me goodies. when they come over..
Hell, I seem to be worrying about eating in the UK. Friends are not diabetic. so they are unaware of the problem.
They all know that I am. but because they do not understand, and you always look alright. There is not a sign saying DIABETIC on my forehead.
so they think you are as before OK. I am only glad that I am not staying for a long period.
I am not over weight weigh about 65 has been like that for some time ...............vary occasionally but only 1 or 2.................. highest I have been is 67

so any ideas............ all would be appreciated. many thank inn advance

If you are looking for restaurants that have more favourable menus for us diabetics then I would go to Loch Fyne (fish, seafood with veg or salad), La Tasca (Tapas but you can avoid carbs by going for prawns, chicken etc plates) or Nandos (Chicken but avoiding the fries). Suggest the restaurant yourself and you don't even need to let your friends know.

I can't remember ever being in a restaurant where there isn't a salad or two on the menu, and salads are almost always available as a side dish instead of chips. Even in Kent!

Many thanks will tr and get them there. I will only be in the area Minster Ramsgate Kent so not too far

Any restaurant that does a carvery, you can fill your plate with more veg if you've eliminated carbs from your diet.

 

[south711]

thanks good thinking, do not have that sort of place here

I have not eliminated carbs. just having a bad day. eating what I should not. not a good day. for me. but will be back on track.
But know there are many carveys around. and they sound like the best place to be able to eat. as you say can pick and choose.

love your image. I could have done with that today needed a smack. have been drinking water since.

Have a look at the restaurants on Trip Advisor.http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurants-g1096571-Minster_Ramsgate_Isle_of_Thanet_Kent_England.html
You can then check out many of the menus on their own websites
