Do you guys have any allergies?
So far I don't or rather have not developed any allergies.
Was at a restaurant where my friend worked one day.
There were a group of Caucasians sitting on the table next to mine where my friend was taking their order. Everything was normal until the girl sitting closest to us told my friend her allergies.
"Here's the thing, i have a lot of allergies. I'm severely allergic to garlic. Anything with garlic in it, cooked, minced, or even in the sauced, I can't eat it. I know its troublesome but can you talk to the chef about it? Maybe you can remove the garlic. Oh and everything has to be cooked and can't be raw as well."
You should have seen my friend's face.
Its not exactly an inconvenience or something but working in the food business, its really really scary when someone tells you they have an allergy, especially those allergies such as to nuts which are so severe that their life can be taken by it.
One false move, one bad order and everything goes horribly wrong.
She got her order in the end, a plate of fried rice without garlic or anything raw.
My friend however, was stressing out as she watch her eat.
"OMG! WHAT IF SHE DIES BECAUSE OF THAT PLATE OF RICE??? AND I TOOK HER ORDER!! OMG OMG OMG"
Even our table were edge of our seat wondering what would happen if her allergic reaction kicked in.
But anyways, i've been told people with severe nut allergies can't even be close to the kitchen when peanut oil is being used to cook as they will feel suffocated or something. I remember reading an article where a girl died when her boyfriend kissed her after eating a peanut butter sandwich when i was young too.. Scary huh?..
The stupidest person i've seen with allergies is this extremely spoiled bitchy girl. Her family and I shared a table for an association event, ate fish and scolded her parents because her body started itching. ITS A SEAFOOD RESTAURANT!! I think she expects to go there and 'see-food' only. Lol, get my pun?..
No wonder i have no friends.. lol..
For those people living with severe or non-severe allergies, i SALUTE you guys for being so strong and careful. Its never easy when it comes to food.
That aside, thank you guys for the exam wishes, i still sucked at it, but oh well.. hope I get a good grade!
Have an awesome weekend! =D
