Do
not
trust
the
menu!
As
someone
with
celiac
disease,
it’s
a
huge
relief
to
find
a
restaurant
that
has
the
allergens
listed
on
each
menu
item.
It
means
that
I
don’t
have
to
do
the
usual
30
min
interrogation
with
the
waiter
on
which
dish
has
gluten
and
if
it’s
in
the
sauces
or
spices
and
if
things
are
fried
in
the
same
oil
as
etc
etc.
So
last
night
I
went
to
Jangada
with
my
husband,
comfortable
with
the
idea
that
it
would
be
easy
for
me
to
select
a
dish
without
gluten.
There
are
a
few
to
choose
from
which
is
always
really
nice
and
I
chose
the
Sea
Tango.
This
dish
very
clearly
DOES
NOT
have
gluten
listed
as
an
allergen.
The
dish
arrived
and
it
was
very
delicious
but
I
noticed
something
that
wasn’t
listed
on
the
menu
as
part
of
the
dish.
It
was
topped
with
crispy
onions.
Had
that
been
listen
on
the
menu
I
would
have
definitely
asked
further
questions
as
that
is
not
normally
gluten
free.
After
a
few
bites
my
stomach
started
to
turn
and
I
said
to
my
husband
“something
isn’t
right,
I
think
these
onions
are
coated
in
flour”.
My
husband
went
to
ask
our
waitress
who
then
asked
the
chef
if
there
was
gluten
in
the
dish.
The
chef
didn’t
even
know
and
had
to
check
the
premade
package
the
onions
came
in.
Guess
what?
Yup.
Gluten.
What
is
the
point
of
listing
allergens
on
a
menu
of
the
chef
is
just
going
to
sprinkle
some
extra
allergens
on
the
dish?
Surely
chefs
are
trained
in
allergens
and
understand
the
consequences.
Celiac
disease
is
not
an
allergy,
intolerance
or
preference.
It’s
an
autoimmune
disease
where
ingesting
gluten
quite
literally
attacks
and
destroys
the
gut.
Perhaps
the
whole
thing
is
my
fault
for
not
doing
my
usual
song
and
dance
interrogation,
letting
the
whole
restaurant
know
I
have
a
disease
but
I
assumed
that
a
restaurant
that
listed
allergens
would
have
gone
to
the
effort
of
ensuring
that
information
is
correct.
Our
waitress
was
very
sweet
and
extremely
apologetic.
The
whole
thing
was
not
her
fault
at
all
so
we
appreciated
that.
No
apology
from
the
chef
who
didn’t
seem
to
care
in
the
slightest.
We
did
not
have
to
pay
for
the
contaminated
meal
which
was
a
nice
gesture
I
was
also
offered
an
alternative
meal
but
at
this
point
I
was
starting
to
feel
ill
and
to
be
honest
didn’t
trust
the
kitchen
anymore.
Unfortunately
not
paying
for
the
meal
doesn’t
make
up
for
the
damage
to
my
gut
and
the
inability
to
absorb
proper
nutrients
while
it
heals
which
is
especially
important
to
me
right
now
as
I’m
4
months
pregnant.
This
means
this
gluten
mishap
not
only
affects
my
health
but
the
health
of
my
baby
too.
I’m
really
disappointed
in
this
experience
as
Jangada
is
otherwise
a
really
nice
restaurant
with
a
great
atmosphere.
It’s
very
unfortunate
that
the
chefs
do
not
take
the
allergen
information
seriously.
I
do
not
feel
it’s
a
safe
place
for
me
to
go
to
eat
again.
