dgthorsen Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I eat lunch weekly with my grandparents, something I don't want to give up, considering they are in their late 80s and I relish the time with them. I live in a very small rural town. Mostly diners, supper clubs and bars for restaurants. We normally go to a place that serves breakfast all day. Am I safe to eat over easy eggs, american fries (essentially sauteed red potatoes) and bacon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'd check on the oil used for cooking, ensure that the 'fries' are actually sauteed/shallow fried rather than deep fried, and that the bacon is sugar free..... You could also maybe opt for poached eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I safe to eat over easy eggs, american fries (essentially sauteed red potatoes) and bacon? I'm afraid the answer is no on all 3 counts. Over easy eggs would be likely cooked in an off plan cooking oil. The only safe eggs to order out are hard boiled or poached. Sauteed red potatoes - same issue with cooking oil and whatever seasonings they used. Bacon - it's really tricky to get compliant bacon at a restaurant. If you can get hard boiled or poached eggs with some fresh fruit, sliced tomatoes (or compliant salad - bring your own dressing) and black coffee or tea, that would be my recommendation.

dgthorsen Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks. I hadn't thought of poached eggs, so that would work. Perhaps they have a salad option with hard boiled eggs that I can try. Without dressing or cheese or croutons of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused... the rules say that for dining out, the rule on oils (aside from Soy) are relaxed so that people CAN dine out... So the eggs would be fine, as long as they're not cooked in soy oil and the potatoes if she asks for them to be made without seasoning (which if they're cubed red potatoes shouldn't be a problem) would also be compliant.

Most breakfast places I go to use butter as the default cooking fat or a cooking spray with soy lecithin in it. That, along with the risk of a restaurant using soybean oil or a olive/soybean oil mix, was my rationale for stating that easy over eggs would not be a good choice to ensure compliance. Hence my recommendation for poached or hard boiled eggs which require no cooking fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if she was to ask what they use and it was something compliant, it would be fine, so the recommendation to ask would be the most important thing. The breakfast place I go to uses no seasoning on the potatoes if you ask and they cook in canola, so that would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
