Recently I found out that I was wheat intolerant so now when I eat out I need to steer clear of bread. I won’t go into details but basically in my local deli I was told that if I were to order soup – I would get soup and brown bread for €3.95 and that they couldn’t give me anything to substitute the brown bread and that I would have to pay €3.95 even if I did not ‘want’ bread.
It wasn’t a matter of want; I love bread but have no choice. The same applied had I wanted their yummy salad bowl that comes with bread. Even though I couldn’t eat the bread I would be charged and they couldn’t instead offer me soup or discount or give me soup and add on the difference.
Am I being unreasonable? It’s only now that I have to steer clear of wheat that I have noticed how our nation put up with these absolutely ridiculous menu rules. Surely you should be allowed to eat what you want when you want it. As for me? I’m sticking to my packed lunch!!
