معنی
Warning about health.
زمینه فرهنگی
Greeks express love through food. If you have an allergy, mention it early and politely to avoid being served a dish you can't eat. During fasting periods (Sarakosti), many Greek dishes are naturally vegan, which is great for those with dairy or egg allergies. In big cities, restaurants are very aware of allergies. In small villages, you might need to explain more clearly what an allergy is. Greeks use medical terms like 'allergy' or 'heart attack' (έμφραγμα) to describe emotional reactions to everyday annoyances.
Be Specific
In a restaurant, don't just say 'Έχω αλλεργία'. Say exactly what to: 'στο γάλα', 'στα φιστίκια'.
The 'Se' Rule
Remember that 'σε' + 'το' = 'στο'. Most foods are neuter (το γάλα, το μέλι, το ψάρι), so 'στο' is your best friend.
