[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As soon as it was suggested (you said a bunch of restaurants were suggested) you say “oh, would prefer not Casa Larla because I’m allergic to shellfish. Any of the other options sound great!”

So why didn’t you speak up then??[/quote]

This is the answer! It doesn’t make it all about you! You get a vote in the restaurant choice just like everyone else. Surely there are options that serve fish/shellfish for your friends and plenty of other options that are safe for you. If it’s someone’s birthday dinner or something, then they pick and you can decide if you’re comfortable going and getting a burger or sitting it out.

I am sure your friend just does not remember your allergy, or doesn’t realize it’s so serious that you’re uncomfortable eating at a seafood restaurant. Maybe she looked at the menu and saw some non-seafood options and assumed that would be fine for you. But if that isn’t the case, it’s on you to speak up! If your only reaction was taking a Benadryl and going home, she probably assumes it’s not that serious and you can get pasta while she gets oysters.

If that ship has sailed and the restaurant is locked in, just go and eat something else. Silently sitting it out, stewing about a perceived slight, does not help you at all and makes you seem like a drama queen.
