Travel with allergy in Europe
Are you familiar with any specific stores or restaurants
in Munich that would cater to food allergies? Reply from someone who lives there with food intolerances: : Here is a good site; : https://www.isar-mami.de/allergie-re...i-histaminarm/ : Eier-frei, Nuss-frei and Erdnuss- frei are the vital terms for her. : But there are always people round in Munich who speak English. : I go to the Basic restaurants a lot, the food is very tasty. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

The owner of an Indian restaurant in Easingwold caused the death of a customer by substituting ground peanuts for ground almonds. This was after he almost killed another customer and had been warned by trading standards. The owner is now serving a six year prison sentence. Indian restaurants are not common in Munich. Nor in Easingwold. :-) The message I am trying to give is that you can't totally rely on what's on the menu, even when it is in English Especially when in the Vegetarian section the practice of sprinkling ham on the top of a (claimed) vegetarian salad or pizza is not uncommon. the term Vegetarian in German restaurants appears to mean "mainly Vegetarian", not "complete meat free" tim |

Ham Ham & Cheese Ham, Cheese, Bacon Ham, Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce I forget three names, but the fourth is "Vegetarian." Presumably a translation error.

My child and I are planning to travel very soon to Germany. We need to avoid eggs and nuts and peanuts. Do you know if the restaurants there are aware of allergies? In large cities you won't have a problem (and you will be able buy specialist foods from shops if you need them). Small towns and villages are more of a lottery. German restaurant menus will list allergi information in footnotes (look for small numbers next to the dishes). It's so pervasive that I believe it's mandatory. It will help a lot if you can talk about the problem in German. The words are similar in German, so really shouldn't be a problem. |
