This I know well. I'm allergic to shellfish and anything that eats shellfish. When I go out I even have to be careful of the way my food is prepared. If they prepare my food in the same pan or same spot on the grill that shellfish was cooked...i'm toast! I'n Hawaii seafood is such a big thing. I was more comfortable eating out in Japan because of their safe/clean cooking practices. They have a belief of always cleaning and wiping down surfaces and utensils when cutting and cooking different dishes. (Which it sould be like that everywhere) Something about a food should never touch another food while being prepared...it needs to be "pure" or something like that.
I had to be whisked away to the ER before for cross contamination...and during a wonderful dinner at a beautiful restaurant because my parents were visiting from Texas.
I felt so bad and kept apologizing..my mom was just being mom and telling me not to worry about it.
