Years ago, I went on the (terribly-titled) paleo diet because it worked for me. I had a lot of issues with grain, with lentils, and with a few of the other no-no foods on the diet. I had a terrible time finding any sort of restaurant where I could eat anything other than a plain tossed salad, so I was really excited when I found a restaurant that advertised itself as serving paleo foods. I went in and looked at the menu and was immediately confused. Most of the items didn't seem to be paleo, even though they were listed as such.

I called the waitstaff over to ask them what the bun on the paleo burger was made of. They looked at me like I'd lost my mind. "It's a bun? So, like flour and stuff?"

"But that's not paleo," I said. "Are there grains and such in the meat, too?"

"I don't know," she said. "I just cook the stuff."

I ended up leaving without eating because I couldn't be sure the food wouldn't make me sick. But seriously, how does the cook not know what they are cooking?

I don't eat nearly as restrictively now, but I do still have to be very careful with what I eat. My gut issues have a tendency of flaring up if I don't pamper them.

Noshing on a paleolithically pretentious Hu Nut Butter Filled Hazelnut Butter Dark Chocolate, an impulse purchase. It's Italian.

I'm buying nothing but Italian products from now on.

Hu should be an element.

Ein neues #Brettspiel kennen gelernt und gleich süchtig danach: #Paleo

Ein kooperatives Spiel, bei dem man eine Gruppe an Steinzeitmenschen durch allerlei Gefahren lotsen muss, um schlussendlich eine Höhlenmalerei zu vollenden, ohne dass die Menschensippe den Widrigkeiten zum Opfer fällt
