Please don't ever do this to someone. There are many new cooks on
the list and one thing to remember that if a person previously warns
you that there are problems they could be life threatening. I went
to a feast about two years ago where this happened to me. Everybody
there knew me, I was asked by the royalty to stay so we could talk
after dinner so I made reservations and sent a note to the cook about
my allergies. When I didn't hear back I decided to conferm them with
her when I got there. I did and she said "No Problem, I will make
sure that your chicken gets no garlic and these are the dishs you may
have problems with..." handing me a copy of the menu so I could be
careful. But she forgot during the hub-bub of the day and I got a
chicken with garlic. I didn't realize it until the end of feast when
it had had time to get into my system and started to shut my lungs
down. I used my inhailers to no avail and was lucky to have a doctor
on hand. After I had recovered (quietly in the back room so as not
to disturb the event) the cook admitted she had thought it was a joke
since she knew I was cook and used all of this stuff myself, but I
should watch out for myself, since no one else can police my problems.
These are very true words, but don't ever think someone would joke
about an allergy like that.
