My nose twitches when you prick me over and over with a needle.

My allergist has ordered me on a diet of rarely-preferably-never eaten foods (on the basis that this makes me less likely to be allergic to them) while we wait on getting to the second round of testing.

I consider myself pretty well-eaten in the context of Canada-US food culture, including vegetarian/vegan fare, and I'm having a hard time drawing up a list of foods that I do not currently eat at least on occasion. Help me with my research! What are some of the rarer foods that you enjoy? I live in a big city and can probably find access to internationally grown foods, so lay it on me.

I know it well, which unforunately puts it off of the menu. I quite like your description of it :P Buckwheat, quinoa, and kamut are looking to be my new flours of choice.

For alternatives to dairy, you can look beyond soy to oat milk, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk.

Buckwheat is a known allergen. That's something I don't understand about this new diet of yours - who's to say that you don't have undiscovered allergies to foods you don't already eat regularly?

I was really delighted to see hemp milk in the story this evening. The other three were already on the blacklist

There's nothing to say, but the likelihood is apparently lower. I had buckwheat a few months back and did alright, but I took your advice and bought the quinoa loaf instead. (Delicious!)

Ooh, never encountered quinoa used in bread before, only cooked on its own in place of couscous or rice. Intriguing.

DELICIOUS is what it is. Omnomnomnom. Bit expensive, though.
