Absolutely incredible pastries (France)...
Lots of these mouth-watering chocolate confections (Switzerland)...
The best pizzas in the world (Italy)...
Yummy Strudels (Germany)...which I obviously love to eat.
Baguettes from France...
The best pretzels I've ever tasted (Austria)... Hubs obviously agrees on this one.
BUT, I absolutely CAN eat these things:
Probably not the sausages, but definitely those slabs of meat you see here (Germany)...
and here.... mmmmm looks appetizing, right?
How about this pork knuckle/knee? (Czech Rep.) Is your mouth watering? 
(In all honesty, it WAS actually pretty good...)Anyway, I guess my point is that I can't help but hope that gluten isn't my problem....though I don't want it to be anything worse. I just wish my allergic reactions to *who knows* will just simply go away. Wouldn't that be nice and lucky? I'll keep you posted of course.

Ugh. Did I ever tell you that I once had a boss who was allergic to butter, and all forms of wheat - must have been gluten. She pretty much ate nasty bland food and meat. Oh, and she had these gluten-free power bar thingies that I can only imagine tasted like some aliens interpretation of peanut butter mixed with chalk. I feel for you.
As I think I told you before, Charlotte, I missed the pastries the most. Pure torture! Have you tried store bought gluten free stuff yet? A lot of it makes me think of cardboard when I'm eating it.
I did try some blore bought gluten free stuff actually. I found a few bars and other things that were actually pretty tasty. But so far I'm really not impressed with the bread products. (pizza dough, bread, etc)
