I love wedding food! It is probably because I don't have to make it and most times, it is very good. I don't know which is better - a buffet (you can choose and take as much or little as you want) or when they bring the plate of food to you... it's chosen for you. Either way, it is yummy and plenty. We have not been to a wedding for over 2 years. We are in Medford, WI visiting Ben's parents and we are also here to attend his second cousin's wedding.
This was my first time eating at a wedding gluten free. Knowing this, I guessed in my head what the meal might be...usually a type of meat, potato and vegetable accompanied by a salad and roll. This meal was fried chicken and/or ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole and fruit. The only item that was gluten free was the fruit and salad (and ham, but I am trying not to eat pig - I will tell you about that some other time). It was a buffet...I still put everything onto my plate. I didn't eat the skin of the chicken (breaded chicken means flour), I didn't eat the gravy (flour is used as a thickener) but I did eat a couple of bites of the green casserole (gluten is in creamed soups and I am sure it was used in the casserole). I definitely ate the fruit and salad!
And what comes after the meal?...the wedding cake! Oh that wedding cake - looked so good, but when the lady came to our table and asked who wanted a piece of cake...it was so easy for me to say no thank you. (Yes Tona, for the first time in my life, I didn't eat a piece of wedding cake!)
It has been a couple of hours now since I have eaten and I feel great. I am so glad that I didn't eat my complete meal and the cake. It is worth it to feel good!
