Is that with list of dushes from specific restoraunt? Or ith general reference book?
Never saw that in my country. I guess we don't use these. If you have allergy you are just screwed.

- Symbiote 4y agoIt's so common in the EU and UK that I think it's probably law, or a good way of complying with the law. It's specific to the restaurant's menu. Some places will list the allergens directly on the menu, with symbols or footnotes. Less common is a separate menu showing only e.g. lactose free options -- I've seen this at nicer places in the UK. Places like cafés and fast food where the menu is a blackboard or screen should have a book/file or similar. It is often just printed Word documents in a ringbinder, presumably prepared by the chef.
