Party Survival Tip #2: Bring Your Own Food
Friday, December 28, 2012 at 12:00PM Parties are AWESOME! Great food, great people, wonderful conversation... and great risk for cross contamination at the table. Here's our 2nd Party Survival Tip to help you stay reaction free.
#2. Bring food This is the only sure fire way to know you’re safe eating the food. Most likely, no one will notice that you only ate what you brought, especially if you brought multiple dishes. Remember, you can’t be completely sure what ingredients someone has used in a dish. Even if you ask them, they might forget to mention that tablespoon of nut flour; or they may not realize that soy sauce is gluten-filled, or that the butter substitute they used actually contains dairy. So especially if you are highly allergic, bring your own food - and share it.
