Dominos Poisons Coven Sisters (Kinda)
Living out here, only 15 miles from DC, right next to Reston and McLean, but in the land of wells and septic, we have the choice of one (count em) entities that deliver crappy fast food. And, in fact, our local Dominos didn't deliver to our house when we first moved in, so I had to beg them to deliver, and tip them mightily in order to make them continue to bring us not terribly bad pizza when we were too hungry and lazy to fetch or cook. So it was yesterday, in the pouring rain, when Leslie arrived to visit her coven sister.
The pizza arrived. I rarely eat meat on my pizza, but Leslie wanted sausage (yes, it's all her fault :-)). The 1/2 sausage, 1/2 plain pizza arrived, and we both partook of the plain and the sausage. This, in retrospect, was a mistake.
Both of us are allergic to sulfa, sulfites, sulfates, etc. etc. Although the sausage listing found in tiny tiny tiny print on a pdf file from Dominos had no mention of sulfa type stuff per se, both of us became quite ill while the husband who is not allergic to sulfa, did not. The menu lists: pork, seasoning (spices, corn syrup solids, salt, paprika, garlic powder, chili pepper, disodium imosnaate, disodium guanylate, bha, bht, and citric acid, water, salt, disodium tripolyphosphate). Given that "spices" is listed first, I have a feeling they used tumeric, which is VERY HIGH in sulfa content.
So, either the local Dominos added sulfates of some kind, using a different type of sausage as the general Dominos franchise stuff, or they use tumeric, or, somehow we are totally allergic to something else on that lovely list of chemicals. In any case, we didn't have a great night.
