). Everything was written in Arabic (really everything), so I had to ask. And yes they understood the word "gluten" immediately and I was directed to another part of the shop. But like I said, everything was written in Arabic, so it could also tell "this is bread with extra gluten in it". So the owner/manager was called and he gave us a great explanation.
Really, I have never seen something like this before. It was a rack like two - three meters wide and 2 meter high full with gluten free bread, cookies, pastries and other sweet things. And than bakery-home-made stuff. Four kinds of bread, arabic and more european like bread. And now comes to better part, you can choose between corn and rice flower bread. Can you imagine?? Also different biscuits made of rice or corn flower. Cup cakes, normal cakes, other pastries. And the prices......my arabic bread, 10 to 15 piece 70 ct (about 1 dollar), a whole kilo cookies 2 dinar (2,50 dollars), amazingly cheap.
Another good part is, that in cases milk is needed they use rice milk, he often talked about gluten and casein free. I will take the labels to my school on Monday and ask the teacher what is written on the label.
It's not that I want to go back in a habit of eating a lot of bread and biscuits. But especially when I want to go away for a couple of days, bread is so much easier to take with me than carrots, chicken and broccoli.
Only things that bothers me a little is the chance of cross contamination. But when I heard the owner talking, you have the idea he knows what he is doing.
Can you imagine, not fabric frozen gluten free bread, no fresh bread from a bakery. That we don't have in the Netherlands, Canada, the US, Australia or where ever. No for that you come to the middle east.
