i really like it when the menu carefully identifies foods prepared with common allergens like peanuts, and for that matter also identifies vegetarian dishes and so on (how am i to know if the vegetable soup was prepared with beef stock?)

not only does this solve many problems with no need for further discussion or miscommunication, but also it lets the patron know that the restaurant is happy to cater to their needs.
