First off, What's the best chocolate chip Medifast cookies recipe? plzzzzzzz? Thanks in advance for any answer. My other question... My boyfriend is Scottish- American and we are going to a Robert Burns dinner celebration tonight. (Robert Burns was a famous 19th century Scottish poet- I'm adding this because I didn't know who he was until recently).. |

Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer to that question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I discover an anything. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably know..

They won't have a garden salad?? If they do, it's so tried and true easy for me to stay raw at a restaurant then... Just bring a small container with avocado, salad dressing, mixed nuts and raisins order an "entree-sized garden salad" and boom, you're golden...

I'm hoping they *will* have a garden salad, but it is one of those events with a set menu. So, here is the menu:.
Cock-a-Leekie Soup. Then. Haggis wi' bashed Neeps and Tatties. Then choice of. Baked Scottish Salmon over Savoy cabbage. In a lemon-parsley sauce. Or. Boeuf la ficelle, creme de raifort. Filet mignon poached in broth to medium rare, poached leeks & horseradish cream. Followed by.... Typsy Laird Scotch Whisky Cake. Wi’ a dram o' Drambuie on the side.. I'm hoping that salad is available, because everything else is cooked (and unhealthy to boot).... *keeping fingers crossed that a salad will be available*. I will eat beforehand, but it seems at those dinners that they force the Medifast food on you... |

Um...tell them you're allergic to meat! ...and I guess keep your humour about you..
|
|
LOL! I should tell them I'm allergic to haggis! teehee.
Hopefully everyone will be so smashed I can refuse my Medifast food without looking rude... |

EXACTLY as Im2Fruity said. Why make it THEIR issue? Just eat what you want...or don't eat...as you please. If anyone questions you, tell them you are NOT hungry (which is probably true) and that you are there to see THEM and support THEM. If that's not good enough for them, you can always let your feet do the talkin..

That Medifast food really does look terrible..
Funny, that menu would have looked appealing to me many moons ago.. I would assume that there will be some salad fixings available for you, and stash a Lara Bar in your purse "just in case." Concentrate on the fun, not the food. If anyone says anything, quickly explain that you eat only raw foods. Hopefully it won't be an ordeal for you and you'll have a good time... |

The Medifast food *did* look terrible, but luckily the waitress was so nice and they fashioned me a romaine salad with walnuts and mushrooms. She even got me oil and balsamic vinegar (i know the vinegar was not raw, but I only used a little).
So, everything turned out ok thankfully. My boyfriend did have the haggis, which looked pretty gross (he liked it though).. This raw thing gets easier all the time. I was raised to not ask for special dishes at restaurants, so it's been hard for me getting used to ordering special things, but I'm finding as long as you are nice in your request, the wait staff is usually really nice about it and happy to help... |
