Warburtons have just launched a 'new' loaf of Gluten Free bread, which is available in Tesco.
Gluten free riding food suggestions please.

The new Warburtons gluten free range is fab, the white bread is actually edible and the fruit loaf is really nice with a bit of jam. there is always cold new potatoes, some of the gluten free pasta isn't too bad as long as its got some kind of sauce mayo on it, or even chicken legs, homemade soup in a flask... the list is endless. you can even put casserole and rice in a flask or gluten free spag bol

My Mrs is a coeliac and makes her own granola bars etc with gluten free flour /oats. Failing that a chunk of marzipan is good for taking along on a ride.

Where did you go in Bristol - my friend is Gluten free, though we normally manage to get something when we are out together but if there is somewhere that would give her some choice I would recommend it to her. We occasionally cook for each other and between all our food dislikes, and intollerences/allergies we are a difficult bunch to cater for.
I know she has a variety of different flours and combines them to get the best effect though I have some bread flour that is kept especially for baking bread when she is going to be eating. And then for cakes - lots of cakes using ground almonds instead of flour - delicious

Lifes a bit better now for a coeliac but it's still hard. If you want a decent sausage to go in that Warbartons loaf (better than Genius gluten free imho) then www.bostonsausage.co.uk do a good one.
Have to say though that a sausage buttie is pretty disgusting to eat once it's been in the pocket of a cycling jersey for 2 hours regardless of how good the stuff is in the first place.

There are plenty of snags out there that are GF. Just do a bit of research. The Boston Sausage one's are certified to coeliac uk standards and have nothing in them apart from pork, herb mix and potato starch as the binder. Taste pretty good too.
Black farmer have good ones too but have a bit more in the add-on mix. It's definatly worth joining http://www.coeliac.org.uk/
Oh, and boston sausage do mail order too.

We use a vegetarian/vegan resturant called Demuth's - they include gf/n/vegan options in all their menus. (apologies I have just remembered they are in Bath, not Bristol... not far to travel...)
Current menu has all starters gf, 2 mains gf, all side gf and 1 dessert gf. They have the usual disclaimer about everything being prepared in the same kitchen etc. I am really sensitive to any dairy products and have eaten their without issues. They ask you tell the waiter/ress about allergies etc and it works well - they all know instantly what you can and can't have etc.
There are a couple of Veggie cafe's in Bristol as well (and possibly Bath) that my OH uses and rates quite highly so I will ask him when he gets home tonight for you.

IIRC, Maize is gluten free.
If you get Maize meal, make sure its not blended with Wheat flour.
In the days I ate bread, I used to bake fantastic corn meal rolls and breadsticks.

Waitrose 12 Pork & Herb Chipolatas.
Very tasty, although not cheap they are worth it

You can get gluten free sausages from plenty of shops. Cheap ones are packed with rusk. My wife has naked bars and nine bars. Not cheap but then again neither are energy bars. For rides I like marzipan. Sugar and almonds, can be squeezed into any shape to carry. Home made flapjacks are great.
