Sorry to say this but you think you got problems, Got a household here where mum and all three of the kids have lactose intolerance (ALL dairy products and its amazing where they use lactose as a binding agent), are allergic to wheat (count how many things you eat that have got wheat or by-products in them) and in spite of all the encouragement in the world from me still don't like chilli's that much. Things are gradually improving as we are working out a diet that is very similar to an asian one with lots of rice in it, but damn I miss my pasta at times (especially with slatherings of parmesan on it). The good thing is I am gradually getting the kids to be a bit more adventurous about trying chilli sauces, the eldest is really starting to love Thai sweet chilli sauce on almost everything, now all I have to do is get her to try something a little hotter and she should be addicted.
