I know that she, for one, eats oats. As for brands, I'm afraid I won't be much help, as I'm in the States! (though I spent 2 years living in London in the past). :) <br /><br />~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-33251350893654449322011-05-30T15:57:50.161+01:002011-05-30T15:57:50.161+01:00Eleanor - thank you so much for taking the time to...Eleanor - thank you so much for taking the time to write such a long comment, it was really helpful :) esp the information about Mornflake oats, that's useful to know. & I bought some Genius bread...had it as an open sandwich, cheese on toast & eggy bread so far, all really good. Yey! :)<br /><br />Maria - thanks for backing up the Genius bread recommendation also. I have a friend who is gluten-sensitive who likes Genius bread too, so it seems to be a favourite. Love having flowers around the house, so nice to glance up from what I'm doing and see bright colours (esp when grey outside like today!) Off to comment on your last post now - not been online much this weekend, congrats on marathon!! :) <br /><br />Jemma - Cheese & fruit together are really good. Figs/grapes/apples often included on cheese boards so not that unusual I guess, but Liam thinks I'm strange for liking it!Lucyhttp://porridgeandparsnips.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-36240771022068978372011-05-27T14:42:32.520+01:002011-05-27T14:42:32.520+01:00I love fruit and cheese together. it sounds stran...I love fruit and cheese together. it sounds strange at first, but it tastes amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-13169576382743488432011-05-27T07:21:26.334+01:002011-05-27T07:21:26.334+01:00Pretty flowers :)

Warburton's and Genius (especially the multiseed one) are the best GF beads I've found and Waitrose does great Amisa buckwheat crackers too...<br />The best all-purpose GF flour I've found is doves Farm brown bread blend; it works in everything! Don't think Waitrose stocks it though but Sainsbury's does...<br />On the subject of oats, the main issue is cross-contamination but all Mornflake ones are guaranteed "pure" - you don't have to pay £3 for the supermarket Free From oats :-)<br />Oats do contain a kind of gluten called avenin (I think) and some coeliacs can tolerate it, others can't. The advice for coeliacs is to try them a bit at a time... good luck and sorry for such an essay of a comment!Eleanor@eatinglikeahorsehttp://eatinglikeahorse.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
