    Lidl frozen chips are gluten free. They aren't specifically marketted as such but they are coated with rice flour rather than wheat.

    If it does not say gluten free or free from gluten on the packet then I would not trust it. Just because they are coated with rice flour does not mean they could not get contaminated during the production process maybe from a line beside it doing chips with wheat in them.

    Dunnes stores sell chips that are gluten free and are only 95cent. Much safer.

    Tesco have gluten free Hot Cross buns availible in some Tesco stores now.

    I do love Hot Cross buns. Wish they were made all year round.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Would it not have to say "may contain traces of" in that case?

    No. It's not a legal requirement to state that

    Higos Secos ( dried figs ) sometimes available in branches of Polo Stores

    The only nice tasting gluten free bread I’ve tasted so far is mccambridges bread in Galway. It is like a soda bread. Can anyone recommend a nice gluten free loaf for sandwiches?

    Best one i've tasted for sandwiches is M&S either the brown or white loafs - small but tasty.

    The Promise range is quite good (Brioche particularly) as is the M&S range as another poster mentioned.

    Best one I've found, by far, is the baked in store (in its packaging) Promise Rustic Sourdough with sundried tomato and black olive. Can be hard to find, but when you see it, buy it. It's so worth it.

    Aldi do two types of brown sliced pan and the 'superseeded' is my favourite at the moment.... also a much better price than M&S!

    Came across an ingredient the other day "gluten free wheat fibre" - i was unsure whether to trust it or not. Anyone come across this before?

    Plenty of GF food with dumb assed things like ‘modified wheat starch’ as an ingredient. Not completely GF at all! The other half was warned off anything like that as she’s reacted badly to it - coeliac and a really clean diet means just a tiny contamination and she has all the rotten after effects and lethargy. She couldn’t figure out what was going on until we carefully picked through the ingredients on a pack of supposedly gluten free Semper flour and there it was. She had no idea and I was just buying a reputable brand for GF labelled foodstuffs. Madness. On that basis I wouldn’t trust anything that has anything at all to do with wheat, no matter how modified or what the process.

    The food list from Coeliac Ireland is great for this, regularly updated with things being removed and added to it also.

    Hoping somebody can help with another restaurant recommendation, this time looking for something a bit fancy. Going to bring my wife (she's GF) out with Dublin or anywhere in town for a birthday lunch.
    I was in Etto recently, which I decided on based on another thread,, and that would be ideal. The food, style and atmosphere are perfect for me. But not sure they cater for GF based on small menu etc, I'll contact them and ask actually..
    In the meantime any similar places that would be GF friendly that you would recommend?

    Lemon used to have a gluten free option.
    I haven't been in our near it lately to confirm if they still do

    Not sure if this was for before all the closures now in place, but after googling Etto (I'm more into ethnic foods than traditional) - you could try Brasserie 66 on Georges Street. I've been once or twice, and they're great for GF, and it's a nice place too.

    I was aiming for April. God knows what will be happening by then now.
    Cheers anyway. I'll get there eventually as well

    The magi bags that you put chicken breasts into, is there a gluten free version of this?

    I know you can buy the actual bags, they're made by Glad and you can get them in Dunnes. You could add your own gluten free spice mix but I don't know of any all in one


  • Registered Users Posts: 381 ✭✭tamara25


    Thanks for your reply, I will check out those bags!


  • Registered Users Posts: 381 ✭✭tamara25


    There is a really nice porridge bread receipe on the super valu website. For a gluten free bread it’s the nicest one yet. I can see myself making this alot in the future.

    I got some in tesco earlier this year, it as pretty decent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,658 ✭✭✭Milly33


    Ah ok will try and check them out do you know what brand it is. Living in the west and tis pretty hard to get to a tescos but can keep it in mind


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭tea and coffee


    Bought some KitKat bunnies for the kids and was very surprised to see the gluten free symbol on the back! So I ate one myself.. not much water in it compared to a KitKat.. perhaps they're scared of frightening off the non coeliacs with the rice flour taste, but a lovely treat nonetheless!
    They're 2 for €1.20 in Tesco at the moment

    Very quiet in here. Has anyone seen any gf mince pies in Lidl lately. They used to make lovely ones but I have not seem any in Lidl this year. They do have gf puddings do and they are dairy free too and Tesco do as well. Tesco also have gf and dairy free mince pies and Christmas cake. Aldi only have gf pudding and mince pies and Christmas cake.

    Dunnes have nice ones the Goodness Grains Mince pies. They are yum. I have not seen any puddings or Christmas cakes in Dunnes this year.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    @AMKC I got Lidl mince pies the other day, in the free from section. I think it was 2.79 for 4. They are lovely. Also gf panettone in a white box, with the regular Christmas stock. Also very good.
