It loathes me to hear, even at silly places like P.F. Changs, the pretty much sounds like a tape recorded "speal" of "any food allergies" line...
you have a food allergy....."ask" if a dish has it in it....
back when I was a kid (about a few years ago!) people didn't have allergies.......they managed.
they wiped their own *** too....and kids actively traded, more than penny stocks, PB&J's at the lunch table......
now, empathizing with a restaurant owner/chef...if a customer says "hey I'm allergic to X can you leave it out" .....I say "yes, but it might affect the overall taste but I'd be happy to leave it out"
Pure ignorance is doing something like I see some people do, and people request silly silly things like at a thai place...request no peanuts because im allergic in a dish with Peanuts in the title! |
