Her father is suing.
She has a nut allergy and ate baklava? Because someone told her it didn’t have nuts in it? IT’S MADE OF NUTS!!! Did she eat it with her eyes closed?
She didn’t have an epi pen? She didn’t go to the school nurse? Checked out of school and took a walk instead? What? What?
I don’t have allergies, so someone please help me make sense of this. How could a seventeen year old with nut allergies eat baklava and head to CVS for some Benadryl afterwards?
Isn’t that an unusually bad series of decisions? Darwin Award level? I mean, if it wasn’t this, she might have died trying to dry her hair in the microwave.
Same, I’ve had baklava a few times before, never realized it was made of nuts until reading this.
Com’on. It’s literally just a stack of nuts, glued together with honey and filo.
You’re selling, but I ain’t buying.
???
I’ve only had it a few times, might be a situation where they called it baklava, but it wasn’t proper, nutty baklava?
Similar to all the American restaurants that claim to serve you Wagyu beef, when it is so uncommon, and so expensive to import, that they’re almost certainly not actually serving you Wagyu?
They can just take some other cut of beef and use some particular seasoning or oil or something, and 99% of Americans would have no idea.
I can’t even imagine a palate so off that you can’t taste nuts in something that’s made primarily of nuts. I guess this explains the people who taste the local noodle delicacy and think it’s just noodles in “peanut sauce”. (It’s sesame; radically different flavour and texture from peanut.)
If you have a nut allergy you probably have never tasted nuts and wouldn’t know that was what you were tasting
The baklava I’ve had was made primarily of pastry style bread, but uh I have had covid twice, lost taste and smell for a month or two each time, it came back eventually each time, but maybe I’ve got some permanent sensory loss from it.
Even before I had Covid, I didn’t even know Nutella was made from hazelnuts until like a year after I started using it …
I could tell it had a distinct taste, but it didn’t seem similar to walnuts or peanuts or almonds or cashews… ???
Wouldn’t the name help you identify nuts in Nutella?
Or, you know, reading the ingredients list (which again, if you’re nut-allergic, you should be doing religiously).
Its pronounced Noo Tel Ah, not Nut El Ah, at least where I’m from.
Also I am not allergic to nuts, I don’t seem to have any food allergies or intolerances.
Do… do you read the ingredients list of every single food you eat?
How would you even do that at a restaurant? They often list common allergies, but not every ingredient.
I get that if you’re working on making your diet more healthy, or avoiding allergies, this makes a lot more sense to do, but most other people probably do not do that.
If I had a lethal food sensitivity YES I WOULD!
Hell, I have a minor sensitivity to lactose and I will check things that might have milk or such. Not religiously, because my cost if I slip up is bloating and mild discomfort. But if it would kill me? HELL YES!
I’ll read the ingredients on many things first, just because I can. It’s just a good practice if you even have the slightest bit of interest in food chemistry.
The fuck is the name supposed to mean? Is Viagra just water from Niagara Falls? Is Tylenol made from lentils?
Ingredients list, sure, but don’t lead with naming. I would expect Nutella starts with Nu (new), not Nut which isn’t how it’s pronounced.
