[Liam1955]

@mo53 - Maybe they've all turned ' meat eaters'????

 

[mo53]

@ScimamaI can imagine your difficulties. I find low carb eating out tricky enough but to add vegetarianism must make it really difficult. I tend to carry mini cheeses in my handbag . I was desperate on York station one teatime and was delighted when I found a kiosk selling hard boiled egg.

Yes it can be very difficult trying to find low carb and veggie food, but lots of places have salads, unfortunately my 'local' Ikea didn't have a salad bar, a few other shops close (Boot, Tesco Home, Asda Home) had loads of sandwiches and wraps but unusually no veggie salad :-(
I frequently have to take my disabled parents to hospital appointments, our two big hospitals have more Costa coffee shops than a shopping mall! I go prepared with a cool bag of cheese, cucumber etc as hospital doesn't have healthy foods (but thats a whole other thread )

 

[Scimama]

I am still here in spirit! I haven't posted food for a couple of weeks as I have been ill and my food choices would scare off the newbies

Good job keeping the thread warm, Liam
