Surprise dairy & egg free finds - join me in making a list?

[abigboydidit]

Hi -

I'm new to the whole allergy thing (DS is 15 months old & allergic to milk & eggs). As he's getting older I'm starting to appreciate how limiting it is and how lovely it is when he can have an off-the-shelf item that everyone else is having. So, I thought I would start a thread where we could list surprise finds we've came across (or in my case, that MN have pointed me towards!).

My (very short) list:

• shop bought puff pastry (read this in a thread the other day. A revelation! And just in time for my nephew's birthday party!)
  
• jammie dodgers (ditto!)
  
• Nairns Dark Choc Chip biscuits (made in factory handling milk)
  
• Sacla tomato & garlic stir in sauce
  
• Sacla Char-Grilled Aubergine Pesto
  
• Cauldron aduki bean kiev (salty though!)
  

Anyone like to share their finds?

M&S has chocolate dairy free muffins which are great but have soya lecithin in them. They're in a really small 'free from' section. They also ave the dark chocolate mountain bar (like a dark choc toblerone) that's dairy and soya free.

Whoever said that the moshi monsters cake from sainsburys was milk free THANK YOU. I thought I would check our local asda and the moshi monsters from there, aswell as peppa pig and Disney princesss birthday cakes had no milk in the ingredients Just in time for my dd's 5th birthday in a few weeks she has never had a shop birthday cake before.

I am very excited about making croissants and pain au chocolat! I have bought shop bought pastry before and made home mad sausage rolls which were lovely but had not thought of making croissants or pain au chocolat! Yippee!!

I think this thread just goes to show that our DC's can have a really varied diet with lots of treats too...its the treats that are the killer, I hate seeing my DD watching other children eating things she cant have but there are so many things here that our DC's can have which appear "normal" iykwim.

Thanks everyone :)

We are a dairy free soya free house.
Lidl-
choco rice and choco moons (like coco pops but cheaper!) DF/SF

Lidl fresh breads (definitley bloomer and a few other) (most of the fresh baked stuff in other supermarkets has milk powder in) sadly we don't have a Lidl with an instore bakery near us!

We eat lots of the tesco own brand value range of biscuits but check every time out of habit.

Tesco snackers biscuits (like ritz crackers but not cheese although quite salty).

Tesco own range or cheap cherry bakewells.

Mr Kipling apple and blackcurrant pies (NOT the apple ones as they always seem to contain dairy whatever the brand).

Doris, am I right in thinking a good few of those things have egg in them?

[DorisIsWaiting]

Sorry ducks... I got excitred and carried away

Some of them do have egg in (but they are Dairy and soya free)

[abigboydidit]

Wow! I was. Coming back to resurrect this thread, not realising it hadn't stopped!

Just to add Sainsburys own brand fruit loaf to the list. Dairy & egg free and very tasty.

I tried the Montezuma rose and geranium chocolate today - lovely! Thought I wouldn't like because don't like the smell of geranium in bath products but actually really nice :)

[faith41]

Plain Pom bears do not contain milk products. Another dairy free biscuit is pink panther wafers x

[OHforDUCKScake]
