As a follow up, I would write to the owner and ask that he/she ensures that the staff are aware that a nut allergy can be fatal. Not maybe in your case but you could also point out that in some people it can cause an extreme reaction. I don't know what your laws are but ours have tightened up a lot on restaurants informing people about the contents. |

When friends and I go out, one of us usually picks a restaurant - then asks the others if they like the menu! |

I always ask when we go to a new restaurant, what ingredients they use. I do this quietly because many people get annoyed, they seem to think I'm making a fuss about nothing! Again, I'm not eating anything that will make me sick, just to make somebody else happy. |

I certainly wouldn't risk anywhere I didn't trust 100% if I had a nut allergy, it has just been in the news here, someone died because the curry house owner decided to save money and swapped almond powder for a cheaper nut powder which contained peanuts. |

We live in a very small town (less than 5,000 people), so there's not much around, a couple of pubs, the golf club, and a few restaurants in the next town over. |

I would have explained the situation to the staff because, if the chef has any skill at all, he could produce food you could eat. |

I think she should have said that she was sorry you couldn't have anything |

Is this lady really a friend?? I think she was unsympathetic towards you and very rude. |

I don't eat out much, but there is usually something I can eat. Being vegetarian if I am going somewhere I usually check their menu out in advance as I did recently, that didn't quite work out as planned as the other person ( related) decided she wanted to go somewhere else lol, which turned out to be noisy, late service and indifferent food, so I settled for a jacket potato, and the satisfaction of knowing I was right and she was wrong ;-) |
