amazing market - makes Belfast so much better

I visited Glasgow Christmas Market today and, while I was pleased with the various stalls on offer, I was disappointed with some of the food stalls. My daughter and I both have coeliac disease and, therefore, must avoid all gluten in our diets. Some of the food sellers were not able to tell us which ingredients were in their dishes. In fact, one seller, in particular was quite rude, abrupt and very unhelpful. I appreciate that language is sometimes a barrier at these markets, but a displayed list of ingredients would not be too difficult to produce. It actually became law on 13th December for all food outlets to provide customers with information regarding ingredients in all dishes they serve. Hopefully this will be rectified soon to allow all those with coeliac disease and allergies to fully enjoy the Christmas Market experience.

Favourite place to be at Belfast Christmas Market :) Full of plenty of festive cheer, goodies, alcohol, gifts etc. And now theres going to be a Spring Market .... soooo excited for it this weekend .. can't wait!! Coming a long way up the road especially for the weekend at the market :)

Amazing markets x
