If someone said they're giving me "Ginger ale" and
I had an allergy to "ginger", I'd probably be the
one asking if it contained real ginger or
something?? And that the name includes "ginger"
would be my first clue, huh? I don't think the
hostess need list every ingredient to every dish
she serves, just in case. I think the allergic
guest has the responsibility to speak up if it's
an issue? Saves that host or hostess the trouble
of reciting ingredient lists ad nauseum.
