Discussion I'm going to crash out over ridiculous modifications

"Absolutely no onion I am allergic"

"The beef is braised with onions in the stock"

"Oh yeah that's fine I just don't want to see them"

IM GOING TO FUCKING BLOW MY OWN HEAD OFF

How about this: I dont like seafood. Yes, I've tried seafood. I dont like seafood, and I won't be ordering seafood. That being said, however, I have had people try to push seafood on me. "Just try the _, you might like it," or "that's because you haven't had ___ the way my mom/cousin/brother makes it." So I've maybe once or twice lied and said I'm allergic. Im not allergic. Is it bad to say im allergic to a dish I'm not even ordering?

Yes. I’m allergic to shellfish, but all sea food smells bad to me and makes my stomach feel like sending it back to sender. So I tell people I’m allergic to all sea food. I work in a kitchen with a weekly seafood special and one week I had to walk away from the oven because of baked oyster (or something)
