  1. Them

    Are there any allergies I should know about?

  2. You

    Yes, I'm allergic to peanuts. Is that a problem?

  3. Them

    I'll flag it for the kitchen. The curry does contain peanuts.

  4. You

    Then I'll avoid the curry. What else is safe?

  5. Them

    The roast beef and the vegetable soup are both fine.

  6. You

    I'll take the roast beef, please.

  7. Them

    Noted. I'll make sure the kitchen keeps it separate.

  8. You

    Thank you, that really helps.
