And I thought the "peanut allergy" was rediculous!
Below is an email I received today at work. I did not edit it at all:
"My husband visited your store in CHarlotte today and saw the oatmealpancakes. He was hoping it was something I might be able to eat. Would I be able to eat them, despite the following allergies:
Alcohol
Apricots
Banana
Beef
Butter
Caffeine
Cheese
Chocolate
Cows Milk
Fermented Foods
Flours: White, Wheat, Kamut, Spelt
Lamb
Mangoes
Melons, all kinds
MSG (Found in Accent and many prepared foods and snacks)
Nitrates, found commonly in prepared meats and spice mixes
Peanut products
Persimmons
Soy sauce
Sugar, White and Brown, and Cane juice
Tomatoes
Vinegar
Wine
Also, would I be able to eat a turkey burger or another meat dish possible?Thank you for your time."
Poor thing! I wrote back to her and let her know that the pancakes would not fit into her diet, but the turkey burger would work, as long as she ordered it without the bun, the condiments and the tomato.
Her list of allergies is longer than the list of things that I am NOT allergic to.
I just realized that she listed all of her allergies in alphabetical order, too. Hmmm.

God, I hope that was a joke email you got! About the only thing that the woman can eat is dirt! If it wasn't a joke, that list would make finding something to eat a living hell.

Can you imagine her poor husband with her allergy list in hand having to search for foods his wife can eat? (I think dirt might contain too many nutrients so she's left with dining on air).
