    A Gluten and Wheat free hamper would e lovely.

    I won a gluten free hamper once - it was from a certain branded gluten free company - a weeks supply of meals and they were awful! They came in little foil tins (the type you buy dog or cat food in) and the food looked, smelled and tasted like that too! At least I would know never to buy from that company!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Oh lord! hehe it can be hit and epically miss with some free from food. Recently I tried Udis "chocolate flavour sandwiches" (GF oreos basically) and Ewwww! It was like eating earth, all gravely and grainy. only been GF for just over two years (coeliac diagnosis) and the food is expensive and dodgy- yes there are some free from company's products I avoid like the plague. (the best GF products for some reason seem to come from Ireland)
