Saying what you can't eat and checking what's in a dish.
- Them
Are there any allergies I should know about?
- You
Yes, I'm allergic to peanuts. Is that a problem?
- Them
I'll flag it for the kitchen. The curry does contain peanuts.
- You
Then I'll avoid the curry. What else is safe?
- Them
The roast beef and the vegetable soup are both fine.
- You
I'll take the roast beef, please.
- Them
Noted. I'll make sure the kitchen keeps it separate.
- You
Thank you, that really helps.
