allergic diners driving restaurants and cafes crazy, page-13

You're so far off the mark here.

"PICKY eaters, dieters and food snobs are claiming to suffer life-threatening allergies so they can demand customised meals at top restaurants."

"claiming to suffer life-threatening allergies". Stick to the topic.

"Re: allergic diners driving restaurants and cafes crazy"

Talking about people being ALLERGIC to certain foods, not their taste requirements.

So get off your high horse and read what the thread is about, not what you WANT it to be.

I'm POSITIVE you argue, just for the sake of arguing.

"really ---------------- no kidding. I thought that was why one is a chef - to be able to make great meals with what one has at ones disposal - or to the taste of the diner."

O.K. So customer #1 is ALLERGIC to onions.

Nearly every meal, soup, pie, spag bol. etc. calls for onions in the recipes.

Onions are cut with a knife, so are other foods.

If you are TRULY ALLERGIC to onions, don't eat at a busy restaurant

if even a hint of onion, can cause an allergic reaction. Eat at home.
