Title: Need advice!
Post by: fineman on August 24, 2012, 08:53:24 AM
Hi everybody!
I need advice. I go out for lots of official lunches and dinners to restaurants. I usually order grilled fish and steamed vegies. With these they usually give lemon butter sauce and Tartar sauce. Are these two sauces allowed?

The lemon butter sauce is probably safer than the tartar sauce.  The relish in the tartar sauce has sugar.  You wouldn't use very much but given a choice, I'd pick the lemon butter.  The best choice would be salt and pepper.

We make our own tartar sauce because we eat alot of fish Fineman .It is no more than mayonnaise and dill pickles.When I go to restaurants I always ask for my sauce on the side. I don't like my fish swimming in sauce :D

I make tartar sauce, too, but fineman is our resident man about town and you can't trust restaurant tartar sauce.

From now on I will have salt and pepper. Grilled fish helps when I am out because most restaurants like italian, continental, mexican, chinese etc have some sort of grilled fish. In Indian I order a tandoori chicken. Now I have a test coming up. I am going to Africa for 9 days on seot 2nd. I have to come back without gaining weight. Spending whole day in equatorial sun on a safari does give lots of cravings. I am menatlly battle ready.

What a amazing life you have! I always wanted to go to Africa! What will be your saving grace is staying hydrated.When we are in the Keys if I get dehydrated I mistake that for hunger and over eat and gain weight.You will do great! I would love to see the pictures you take please!By the way we have a new forum member from India his name is Sandipp.Have a safe trip ;)
