I've probably cured out 600-700 pounds of bacon over the last couple few years. What part of salt, sodium nitrate, maple syrup, and herbs/spices has wheat gluten?
Some spices can contain gluten. Some things like horseradish can contain distilled grain vinegar and some spices can contain flour to prevent clumping.
Also, depending on what kind of bacon you're buying can have caramel color (gluten) and other spices that contain gluten.
Even market brand spices are what they say on the container. That turmeric is turmeric.

Would it be so bad for celiacs to learn to cook for themselves or eat non-bready things? Is it so bad eating grains that don't involve wheat, eating more vegetables and proteins?
Seriously, even though I'm not celiac, I learned how to cook because most restaurants really make you a crap meal for the price you pay. Like, almost anywhere you go. I can cook a steak better than 90% of the restaurants I eat at, barring legit steakhouses. Ditto for the salmon my wife loves. LEARN TO COOK! LEARN TO LIVE WITHOUT HAMBURGER BUNS! For Pete's sake, you can still eat french fries and buffalo wings, we're just talking about gluten. The biggest injustice you face is not being able to consume beer and I rarely hear celiacs complaining about that.
Your half the knowledge displayed confidently is a serious life threatening danger for someone else.0 -
My current job is very international, and the only "special" snowflakes are the US customers. They expect accommodation for EVERYTHING. "My power went out and I lost X, it's not fair, fix it for me!" No. "You iz a jerks!"But it's been my experience -- as a Canadian who has travelled around the world quite a few times -- that only Americans expect this sort of accommodation.
I studied abroad with a girl with Celiac's in New Zealand and good god was she demanding to not only the people doing the group cooking, and they always made her something different, but also was flat out appalled that there weren't GF options everywhere. She didn't understand that with like 4 million people, there wasn't a market for it and the world didn't actually revolve around her.0 -

I don't understand what you are trying to convey.

Yeah, not surprising. It's a culture of entitlement. Which brings us back to this lawsuit.0 -

If that snozzberry doesn't taste like snozzberries, I'm cutting someone.

I worked a pretty international resort over the summer and I found that people from all nationalities were all pretty equally douche-y. There were a couple groups from specific nationalities that were actually far worse than any others, and it wasn't the Americans. (Though, again, I did have a lot of *kitten* Americans—just the other groups in particular were far, far worse.)My current job is very international, and the only "special" snowflakes are the US customers. They expect accommodation for EVERYTHING.

And just think -- she's one of the people who actually had the experience of study abroad, and is therefore actually among the percentage of Americans who are most aware of the outside world.
Scary thought.0 -
ah. reminds me of the n7 motorcycle jacket I wanted.0

Hahahah you know what's going to happen if she wins? Everyone will have to pay $1 more for everything on the menu so that the restaurant can cover the cost of the more expensive gluten free items. It's not the same as removing an ingredient (eg. peanuts). They actually have to purchase more expensive items to make their menu gluten free friendly. At least that's the thinking of my tired brain here.0

Personally I've never found that someone having had studied abroad actually made them legitimately more aware of the outside world. Sure, they've seen it, but that doesn't mean they actually learned anything culturally—or how to behave like a normal human. (But that applies to people from other countries, too.)And just think -- she's one of the people who actually had the experience of study abroad, and is therefore actually among the percentage of Americans who are most aware of the outside world.
