Soy Free Fair Food

The official start of summer for me is not only Memorial Day weekend, but the Boulder Creek Fest. Every year Boulder puts on a huge festival with free goodies, craft booths, beer, food, live music, rides, etc. Going to an event like this makes a food allergenian worry. (I'm coining the term allergenian). Will there be anything I can eat?

No worries for me.   I'm a seasoned veteran at the Creek Fest, and I know what they have to offer. My favorite soy-free pizza joint has a stand - Abo's Pizza. It's the best in Boulder. Very fresh and made from ingredients that are supposed to be in pizza (like yeast and flour for the dough not a bunch of crap). After my yummy pizza, I get corn on the cob. Any type of fruit or vegetable is ok to eat for soy-free folk so corn is a good choice. Although, I do bring my own tiny stick of butter to season my corn on the cob. Most processed fake butter / margarine is made of soybean oil.

I was surprised to see the sign below at the festival. A booth was actually advertising they had soy-free food. I was stuffed by this point, so I didn't get to try anything but good for them for supporting the food allergy sufferers!
