Gluten-Free World Tour
When first diagnosed, coeliacs always think of all the things they can't eat. I suppose we're naturally pessimistic! One thing that upsets every coeliac is the prospect of missing out on internationally acclaimed dishes when travelling.
There are some things, yes, that no amount of effort can live up to gluten-free: a freshly-baked pizza in Italy for example! However, this shouldn't deter coeliacs from travelling the world. Here are some gluten-free dishes from various places around the world, that even non-coeliacs should try!
Let's start with Asia! You couldn't travel to Asia without anticipating some rice dishes. Luckily for coeliacs, rice is gluten free, and so many traditional main-dishes from China, Japan, The Phillipines etc. can be enjoyed by coeliacs. These include curries, sushi, spring-rolls made with rice sheets and hundreds more!
Across Europe many traditional desserts can be enjoyed by coeliacs, such as traditional almond cakes in Vienna, Almond biscuits Italy, French macaroons, Eaton Mess in the U.K., or even Italian gelato or ice-cream. On top of this fresh fish and meat dishes cam be enjoyed, as can traditional Spanish tortillas, French fries and various risottos.
The U.S. have an enormous food industry, and are very tuned into food allergies and intolerances. Therefore, it is easy to source gluten-free food in the major cities. They also have food influences from all over the world so available foods include rice, cornbread, soufflès, gluten-free breads and desserts.
South American food is ideal for Coeliacs, as they weren't exposed to gluten-containing grains until long after most of the world, and therefore their traditional foods include; beans, corn, grains such as quinoa and amaranth, plantain, sweet potatoes and tortillas. An example of a traditional food adaptable for coeliacs is Chilli con Carne from Mexico.
In other words, my fellow coeliacs, don't be discouraged, get up and explore as much of the world as you can!🌎
