It will KILL ME! But I'll eat it anyway!

I've been told I'm allergic to dust, dairy products, and Elastoplast.
None of them ever fazed me. I'm arguably more allergic to laughing than to them, since three times in my life I've suffered an asthma attack due to laughing too hard, which, if not potentially fatal, certainly felt that way at the time.
There are a selection of foods I consider doubleplusungood, though, specifically unprocessed tomato, olives, anything spicier than mild sweet chilli sauce, seafood, sultanas, and mushrooms.

When you order a burger you're basically only ordering meat and bread, and all the condiments are put on afterwards at your request.

Well, meat, bread and cheese if you want it.

Regular bacon isn't pork, but Canadian is.

So what is regular bacon?

From Wikipedia: Bacon is any of certain cuts of meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a pig that may be cured and/or smoked.

Milk Alergy. No Milk, please. Simple right? I had a sales accosiate go home after puking in the bathroom twice. Because the @%# Starbucks idiot put milk in the Associates coffee. Accosiate goes back two days later Repeats: "I am alergic to milk. Please do not put milk in it. Please use Soy." A diffrent Starbucks idiot looks her in the eye says "OK", writes no milk on the cup, and promptly grabs the milk jug and pours!

The difference is the location. American bacon comes from the belly while Canadian bacon comes from the back. (which is why it's called back bacon here) oddly enough, we never call the American bacon anything other than bacon ourselves. Odd that.

I hope more words were spoken after that.

Color me embarassed. I confused two chapters here..

Canadian bacon -- comes from the back of the pig, versus the underbelly which is what American bacon comes from.

I was thinking of something else.

I used to cure my own bacon when I was in retail. I did proper dry-cured bacon, but it was the full roll. Take a pig that was cut in half down the middle, bone the centre section, cure it in curing salt, rinse, dry, roll, dry some more - perfection!

That is incredibly disgusting, yet I am oddly hungry. Now I lust for pig!

Oh man, did that sound as bad as I think it did?

I discovered I had inherited my dad's "allergy" to eggs entirely by accident while I was working at the Waffle House. (I put it in "" because we won't die from eating eggs, it's just that for some reason, eggs prepared by themselves, not used as ingredients in things like cakes and cookies, makes us both vomit almost instantly.)

We had a 16-year-old, P, who was training as a cook, and since he and I worked an early afternoon shift when it was always dead, he practiced cooking the various items and I sampled them to let him know whether or not they tasted all right, were overcooked, whatever. (My God, could that boy make a hash brown. *DROOL*)

Anyway, one day P tried making a cheese omelette. Eggs aren't my most favorite thing on Earth but I know what they're supposed to taste like, so after he'd made it, I took it and took about four bites. Then I had to set the fork down and go "P, it tastes great, you made it just right. Don't take this personally." Then I ran to the bathroom at top speed and barfed. Poor P was apologizing for like, ten minutes before I finally was able to explain to him what had happened and that his cooking hadn't tried to kill me

I don't know why this occurred to me to even post but I find this one exceptionally ironic.

I am allergic to benadryl. Yes a medication for allergies and I'm allergic to it

I'm like that - or maybe like that - about seafood. It makes me nauseous almost instantly, but I can't manage to eat enough to figure out if it'll make me throw up. The smell is bad enough.

Other foodstuff also won't kill me, but will make me similarly sick. Not always nausea, sometimes 'just' horrible stomach-churning. Sometimes other problems. Some will just give me horrible headaches.

I have some weird intolerances, but while they're bloody irritating, they're not life threatening. I get urticaria (itchy rash thingy) from a particular amino acid found in strawberries, chocolate, oranges, canned fish(?) and tomatoes. I hate fish and tomatoes anyway, so they're not an issue, but I've been a bit naughty with the chocolate lately and I'm itching like buggery. It's worst on my legs - I've got scars from where I've scratched so much - but I also get it on my scalp, which looks absolutely spectacular when you're out in public. I'm also not too good with dairy - it makes my sinuses hurt, and I get snot attacks.
The weirdest thing is gluten - I can eat it for a while, then it becomes 'too much', and the muscles in my neck and shoulders tense right up. Since I have a neck injury, you'd think I'd be smart and avoid gluten, but it's really difficult, since all the gluten-free stuff tastes like balls. It seems to be worse when I'm stressed anyway, so as long as I stay cool, I'm fine. :/

So my burgers consist of meat, pickles and mustard.

[Evil Queen]

OKay, your allergies suck but that means more chocolate for me.

Sounds like the Atkins diet.

My Dad's allergic to water. It makes him sneeze a lot. You should hear it when he's in the shower.

[Cia]

One co-worker is allergic to rhubarb and walnuts - his tongue swells up, the other co-worker is allergic to scallops - she gets a rash and swelling around the eyes. Do they still eat those offending foods? Yep.

I keep telling them that one day they're going to end up on the floor in full anaphylatic shock and I'll just stand over them going <sarcasm on> 'Are you okay? Do you need an ambulance?'<sarcasm off>.

Heh, I've got a sensitivity (maybe an allergy?) to Phenergan. Among other things, it's used for nausea. What reaction do I have to it? Yep, it literally "bounces" on my stomach!
