And then I cried........

I finally got a chance to get over to Sassagoula & have the Famous Allergy Friendly Beignets!

I met Chef Rapheal who was the warmest, kindest Chef I have ever had the pleasure to work with. And we know how wonderful most of the Chefs are! He asked me when the last time I had a beignet was... I said "A real beignet? Since my honeymoon in NOLA"

For fodmap people, they do have apple in them. It's a small amount in the overall recipe & I could tolerate it very occaisionally, but if you are particularly sensitive to fructose or polyols, then they would be off limits.

After I ate my little pillows of goodness, I had to go back & thank Chef Rapheal. I wanted to hug him. We chatted a little more & then I went outside to meet back up with the family. And then I cried..... For the Beauty of the Soul of these amazing Chefs that take such good care of us & allow us to eat things we could only ever dream about elsewhere.

Thanks for sharing!
Your experience makes me want to cry and I wasn't there!

I am usually made to feel like I am being difficult when I eat out at home. Or I try to find something I can eat without saying anything and hope it's ok.

We will be in Disney in October for my first allergy trip. The more I read stories like this, the more I realize I am going to cry at most meals.

That story really warms my heart. It also gives me a good feeling about when I take my wheat allergic DD to Disney. I can't wait for our trip.

You better be bringing some tissues! I cried over my first chicken wing in years at Ohana.... my first actual fried french fry in just as long, over an amazing meal at Il Mulino, when the Chef at Flying Fish made me up a special "bento box" of things I thought I might be able to eat when I was so sick, I could hardly eat or keep anything down, over Chef Frank making me a special breakfast for our 20th anniversary (try eating breakfast out when you can't eat gluten, eggs, most dairy, bananas -everything breakfast!)

WDW has taken such good care of me, that we wound up getting place down here so we could go out to eat again. I guarantee that you are going to be blown away! Enjoy!!!!
