Good allergies are very difficult to live with and I have heard the peanut allergy is one of the worst. I have an allergy,/ insensitivity to shellfish. I need to be on my guard at those potlucks churches like so much.

FOOD allergies of course. Too late to edit my post.

I have long joked that if I couldn't eat fish and shellfish, I would have had to find a new wife. Shanghainese cooking is heavy on seafood.

Korean cooking, too. Example, a couple of nights ago, Yobo cooked up a big pot of Miyeok-guk, Seaweed Soup.

My only allergy's to strawberries
 
Allergies are very difficult to deal with when feeding multiple people. Our church does gluten free and vegetarian pretty well. Beyond that, it's awful because there's no precedent to label stuff. My new allergy is to cow's milk protein, which exists everywhere. In butter, cream, milk, cheese, yogurt, and most processed foods. I'm also violently allergic to mussels. So eating anywhere out is kinda hard. Church is not great. Anniversary lunch was lasagne and caesar salad; went home for lunch. We go out for Japanese noodles when we go out.

Thanksgiving dinner meant dealing with me (cow's milk protein; can have goat and sheep, have not tested buffalo), my sister (gluten and soy sensitive) my daughter (coconut allergy) and my dear friend D (no onions, garlic, tomatoes, pasta or rice) and a rando major dislike of goat's cheese (my big guy). There were three casserole dishes of scalloped potatoes in the oven.
 
Good morning! Lots of discussion over food; food one cannot eat because of allergies and health restrictions, foods one cannot eat because it is unaffordable; holiday meals with numerous restrictions for numerous family members. Also we ponder the ongoing problems of bullying, esp. of immigrants and needy. We gather to chat over these issues and any other issue that may arise, over coffee, tea, and brownies. The coffee is fresh brewed, tea water is boiling, and brownies are nice and warm. Come in as you have a chance and join the conversations! All are welcome.

We have very few actual food allergies in the family. One in-law has celiac and just quietly selects items that are the safest. One kid is allergic to fish but hasn't checked to see if it is sea fish and/or lake fish that makes him very ill. Easy to deal with - just don't eat fish. One person loathes mushrooms and one loathes vinegar, some are trying to lose weight and avoid desserts. . Again, easy for the person to deal with and that is the expectation. Whoever is preparing food is also expected to avoid being a jerk!
 
There are folk out there that hate everything because of the conflicts created ... by Hoo else?

What does one need to learn and change to escape the essence of LL's? Remember it happened in a flash ... and the pump 'd kin was seeded at the Ba'aL!

Ba'aL was difficult and hard as a sphere ... yet dark inside ...
 
When I was growing up we were absolutely expected to eat everything on our plates. But we were not made to sit at the table until we ate it. Some families did this back in the day. We simply were not allowed any snacking until the next scheduled meal.

I think this was extreme. But the pendulum seems to have swing too far in the other direction. Not to downplay the reality of food allergies and other genuine issues. But for heaven's sake. Can't you just eat what you are given in someone's home? Pick out the mushrooms, say ? Eat the Christmas turkey without expecting an alternative to be prepared? ( Yes this is a true story. Not in the paradox family if anyone is wondering)

Feel that's fair if someone just doesn't like something, p3. However, some of us have real allergies that must be avoided. Just picking out the mushrooms, for example, might not be enough to someone with a real mushroom allergy because residual amounts of the mushrooms would remain in whatever they were picked out from
 
What if you have a shadowy allergy to flaming characters? These sometimes just burn up the ways as they demand owning and controlling it ... as in avarice ...

I have some choice examples of such determinations that we'll leave in relief ... something to examine and probe on yere own ... this because some people can be told nothing ... and that's out front! Maybe a psyche vision ... really one has to know some matter first ... after the essence has descended as SOL! Not the other one Hoo's overheated ...

Exactly this. Shellfish is the same. We were reviewing Mary Brown's allergy info the other day since I and my team get lunch from the local outlet a lot (best fast food chicken out there right now, at least on this side of the Pacific) and while they offer no seafood dishes, they still have some items flagged for shellfish allergies due to trace components.

We will be having fried Portabello mushrooms in garlic and butter as a side tonight....yummy.

I don't eat portabellos much. For us it is mostly white mushrooms and sh-itake (stupid overzealous bleep rule. I'll look at that on the weekend). Love the latter. Some of the most flavourful fungi that I have eaten.

Listen cautiously and you might hear her slip through the willows ... if confronted you better have a good story!
