It tasted a lot like beef, too, just more well done/tough. Apparently it has all the taste of beef but much less fat and cholesterol, so it seemed worth trying. (To be honest, though, I was lured by the monkfish; my husband ordered the ostrich and we traded some fish for meat).<BR/><BR/>The polenta pizza is delicious...but tastes nothing at all like pizza. It's more like polenta pie or polenta lasagna. I haven't found a good gluten-free pizzza dough, but that's more because I haven't tried to search one out--I never ate much pizza before going GF anyway, try to avoid a lot of carbs. All bets are off with that, though, when Thai food is involved :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392908564921877962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-86805173013539113962007-03-02T17:18:00.000-08:002007-03-02T17:18:00.000-08:00How'd you like the ostrich?

I've gotten to know you well after you had been eating GF for a while and were more comfortable.<BR/><BR/>It has been such a relief to be around someone who has such a good attitude about food and eating even with Celiace disease. As I told you my mom was very unhappy and reluctant to try anything new (she lost an unhealthy amount of weight b/c she was barely eating) when she was diagnosed with celiac. When I was undergoing my own testing for the disease, b/c I knew you, I was able to not be that worried about it b/c it didn't seem like GF eating overshadowed your life. It was in marked contrast to what was going on in my own family and it made my personal experience bearable.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, I feel like everyone has special dietary requests these days whether it's b/c they are going low fat, low carb, have food allergies, or are a picky eater. It isn't that strange to ask for food deviations from the menu.<BR/><BR/>Anywhoo, enjoy your grilled ostrich!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307937378956236480noreply@blogger.com
