Day 75
We’re still enjoying the resort and for lunch yesterday I chose a beet salad. I recalled the problem the other day with beet salad and sugar and asked again, and was assured these beets did not have added sugar. But what about the peppadew? I was suspicious that these sweet and spicy piquant peppers were brined and we know what that offen means – sugar. I didn’t ask about them, ordered the salad, and then looked up the ingredients on line on my phone while the kitchen was busy at work making our salads. Yes, sugar in the brine, so added sugars. For the 3 on my plate, added sugar was probably about 1-2 g sugar.
Over the last two days, I’ve not been as assertive about telling wait staff about my strict no-sugar diet and have just been relying on my judgement. But I think I’ll go back to asking!
Peppadew, who knew?!
