No Tofu! None, nada, nix on the Tofu!
So the guys and I went to a Thai restaurant tonight. Thai restaurants are supposed to be good for people with gluten intolerance since there isn’t, from what I’ve read, a lot of wheat in Thailand; hence their use of rice instead of wheat in things like noodles and soy sauce.
That being the case, and despite"rice noodles"being written right there on the menu the (Thai, I assume) waitress seemed to think that the noodles were made of wheat. She also didn’t understand the concept of the word"no."For example, the phrase"no wheat"provoked only a quizzical look. Furthermore, the phrase"no tofu"apparently means"extra tofu."
Pressing on, I ordered the Pahd Thai noodles anyway. They arrived in short order — with lots of tofu I had to weed out — and I’m happy to say that I haven’t suffered any, shall we say, abdominal distress.
Them noodles were mighty tasty, I gots to pick me up some o’ them at the grocery store.
