A Cornell Dining Experiment
Made with 100% Awesome. No Gluten. ‘Nuff Said.
Lunch yesterday was at the Ivy Room in Willard Straight. Normally I like to go with the burrito station, so I was wondering what I would find here without gluten. It took me very little time to find a quality bowl of rice noodles, chicken broth, tofu, and assorted veggies! Yum!
A couple days ago, I got the chance to eat at Synapsis… but what can a person with a gluten intolerance eat here? I took the advice of my fellow teammates from their experience the day before and went with the pasta bake prepared with pasta lacking gluten. I must say that I was impressed with the quality of the penne! Food science has come a long way over the years in improving on the textural experience with gluten free pasta. In the past, I have experienced lesser products- ranging from grainy to rubbery, but I can honestly say that I didn’t miss the wheat this time.
Bear Salad Bar with a Cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup
Today, I didn’t have to travel far for a gluten free meal- Bear Necessities had me covered! Starting my lunch off with a small cup of chicken tortilla soup (sans tortilla) was a fantastic way to warm up after trudging through the tundra. Once my fingers were thawed out enough to negotiate the finer skills of using a fork, my made-to-order salad filled with an assortment of veggies and grilled chicken proved to be quite tasty.
