Gout

Learning to live with gout is easy, as long as you can avoid alcohol, anchovies, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, consommé, herring, meat gravies, broth, bouillon, mussels, sardines, red meats, organ meats, processed meats (hot dogs, lunch meats, etc.), fried foods, roasted nuts, any food cooked in oil (heated oil destroys vitamin E), rich foods (cakes, sugar products, white flour products), dark greens vegetables, dried fruits, fish, caffeine, beans, lentils, eggs, oatmeal, peas, poultry, yeast products, acetaminophen, artificial sweeteners, HFCS, Carbonated soft drinks & fizzy drinks , Cigarettes , Flour (white wheat), Goat, Lamb, Pastries & cakes from white flour, pork, Sugar, Beer, Brown sugar, Deer, Chocolate, Coffee , Custard with white sugar, Jams, Jellies, Liquor , Pasta, Rabbit, Semolina, Table salt refined & iodized, Tea black, Turkey, Breads White / Wheat, White rice, commercial vinegar and low doses of aspirin.

(Which reads like a page out of my own personal recipe book).

So other than those things, I can have ANYTHING I WANT.

Okay, NOW they're just effin' with me...

Website says "Stay away from all this stuff" (see previous post from me), then links to a page of tasty Gout-Friendly recipes where all but one recipe PROMINENTLY features forbidden ingredients!

The first one that struck me as odd was the "Updated Waldorf Salad" which features roasted nuts and dried fruit with leafy green vegetables (all three forbidden).

Then they went on to suggest a few sandwiches (no bread allowed) and a GREEN LEAFY DUCK SALAD!

They may as well have suggested a standing rib roast stuffed with chicken gizzards :(
