I know I'm not answering the question

People ask "What CAN you eat?" and I say "Well, no _________, no ___________ of any kind, no ________ including __________ ..."

That's not what they asked. It's the best and shortest answer I have at the moment, but it's in an unhelpful and inconvenient form. The harried admin trying to order lunch for thirty-five will understand only that I cannot have anything the restaurant offers. The guy doing the Costco snack-food run can read labels for an hour and still not find something I can eat. It's not even, when you get right down to it, a useful answer for myself. I know mainly what to avoid. It's a lot faster and easier to know what to go find.

( After five-plus weeks looking around, I can at least start this list now. )

More helpful yet would be lists of made things somebody could buy rather than lists of raw ingredients. I'll get there.

Updating the scorecard

Today's free food in the office is Indian sweets from Saravanaa Bhavan.

I have no idea why I feel better when I post this stuff.
