It's such a bizarre allergy.
Unfortunately they're the go to option for most chefs when it comes to veggie dishes & the majority of people think I'm being a fussy eater rather than having a genuine need to avoid them.
On the plus side it's not life threatening, just very unpleasant!

My sister has an allergy to oranges and tomatoes. Its amazing what has both in without you thinking about it! We have to be really careful to make sure we don't have anything silly. Tomatoes you tend to notice but unless its orange segments its hard to spot.
