Once
went around to my friends house for dinner and they had made home-made pizzas, I hate mushrooms and all the pizzas had mushrooms on, they said just pick them off, I lied and said if I eat even the smallest piece of mushroom I would go into systemic anaphylactic shock and die unless I got a shot of adrenaline straight into the heart.

They made me a fresh pizza with no shrooms, my sister told them a while later that i simply dont like shrooms, they were annoyed at me

Me too...
I did the exact same thing last week with anchovies.

Thing is, I've not eaten them in about 21 years so I reckon they would probably make me violently ill.

I managed to convince him that airborne spores of fish smell could at any moment kill me...

Marv, if you're reading this, I am sorry mate.

Peanuts
I have pulled the allergic peanut trick at restuarants as I hate nuts and every bloody pudding on a menu has nuts on. So I make a fuss and get a pure choccie option. Yaay

i do that too
if you tell people you just "don't like" nuts, they always say "how about..." and then proceed to name a load of nuts which obviously I DON'T FUCKING LIKE BECAUSE THEY'RE NUTS. Pine nuts are a bit of a grey area, however.

Criminal!
A pizza is not a pizza without anchovies

I hate mushrooms
Why not go to a chinese medical/herb centre and have an allergy test done. Tones of stuff I hate came up red even though they won't actually cause a nasty reaction (apart form the taste).
Take the report printout with you next time you visit.

Or just pay someone £50 to tattoo
"I'm a gullible tosser" on your head, it's cheaper and more effective than skin prick testing as an indicator of allergy.
