if you have allergies please consider this [View all]
hi all internet seems to be allowing me to post today
some days i have loss of service when i come to du if i try to post or respond
its considered pretty good service for the fringes so we deal with it
makes online poker dodgey tho
so i usually just read
i work as the breakfast chef at one of our islands resorts and we see a healthy turnover of people each week.
my shift crosses into lunch and then dinner preparations
yesterday we had a woman who suffers from severe allergies as a guest and she had a card
the card had a list of all the different things she couldnt be exposed to
very nice professionally made laminated card
as a cook i am always working with special food needs including allergies
we understand what is at stake and we are always willing to make what you can safely eat
but...
bringing me a card that tells me what you cant have is taking you out of your meal
if you bring me a card and it says "no x,no y,no g" i am going to have to come up with "i can make this" and you
the poor guy at the table get beggars choice
believe it or not i want you walking away from my table saying" damn...shoulda wore my fat pants"
you will still have to pay for it and you will have a minimum say as to what you are eating
so do this please instead for both our sakes
dont tell me what you cant have except as an advisory to cooking instead tell me what you can have
you doctor will be glad to tell you what you CAN have and i promise i know how to make it
i mean really do you want your life in my hands without at least some guidelines?
