Food option?
I'm diabetic. Will I have to miss all the scrumptious goodies there? Or do they also bake with artificial sweeteners? Should I bring Splenda?
Thanks! |
I don't think I've ever seen a patisserie that offered good baked with Splenda, but anything is possible.
You can buy Splenda at any supermarket or grocery store. It's called Canderel. |
I'm not a diabetic, but these might links might have some interesting pointers for you

Thanks for the web sites, zeppole.
StCirq-thanks for the name of Splenda in France. That will really come in handy. |
Splenda is not named Candarel in France.
Candarel = aspartame, brand names in the US are Equal and NutraSweet. Splenda = sucralose. And althouigh I believe the use of sucralose is approved in the EU (I have seen it on some soft-drinks as an ingredient, but not yet the big brand names), I can't re-call ever seeing Splenda in France or the Netherlands (where I live). |
We can get Splenda in the UK but have not seen it in France.
The large grocery stores in France have packaged sugar-free biscuits/cookies and similar items. Not the same but..... My DH packs a Splenda tablet dispenser when he travels, but those really only work for hot drinks. |
Let's hope disneymania4444 comes back and doesn't rely on that incorrect information!

Thank you all for the correction. Looks like I better bring some. I prefer Splenda over Equal. Tommie G is exactly right about the ingredients of the artificial sweeteners. Glad you all clarified this ! Thanks! Another thing for the packing list.
