Like you can have that severe of a reaction.

It's that severe that you can't be in the same room.

So you will see this all over menus in the

um gluten-free menu there might even be a dedicated menu for gluten-free items so if you're if you're confused about what gf means that just means there is no wheat or yeah products with gluten in it yeah and you'll even see products in a grocery store as well having gf on it meaning gluten-free

For sure.

You often, at a cafe, you might ask for, what are your dairy-free milk options?

And you might think, huh, milk, like that's inherently, inherently has dairy in it, but there's soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, like, so that's really common to have a lot of different, oat milk, a lot of different varieties, an offer at cafes for dairy-free milk options.

Okay, so another one.

So I'm personally, I am a vegetarian.

And there are two very similar words in English, but they are distinct for dietary restrictions involving animal products.

We have vegetarian and vegan.

So vegetarian means no meat or fish.

but it does possibly have eggs or cheese.

There might be other animal byproducts in it, but no meat, no fish.

And then vegan means no animal products or byproducts at all, like no gelatin, sometimes no honey even, because bees are involved in producing it, right?

So vegan is absolutely no animal products.

And on a menu, I mean, these both start with a V. So sometimes you might have to ask, but usually vegetarian would be marked with a V. And for vegan, that more restrictive one, you might see VE or VG, even though they both have those letters in them.

You may see a little differentiation between V and VE or V and VG.

So

It might be worth asking the waiter, like in this scenario we saw earlier, you know, what actually is vegan or vegetarian, but those are the common abbreviations that you would see for these particular food restrictions.
