It looks good, it tastes like nothing one earth

Here is a useful thing I just came across. At least, it is useful if you are planning to go to Japan and are not omnivorous:

Cut-out-and-keep cards explaining various dietary restrictions, in Japanese

I think these are a great idea, particularly for countries in which your average foreign person is all at sea with the language. It occurs to me that I haven't bought a phrasebook in a long time - maybe these days they have a handy set of stock phrases for common allergies/intolerances/choices?

There is a reply pending moderation. I've found going "is your dashi fish" to be a really bad question, and came to the conclusion it was because it was like going "do you use cheap ingredients?" Saying "I don't eat dashi", as per the current list) looks and sounds stupid.

Hence my request to change the phrasing to "I don't eat meat, fish (including dashi made from fish)"...
