ventaHere 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?

She actually eats quite a lot of meat (chicken, fish, shellfish, etc). The slightly longer version is that she doesn't eat mammals - but apparently this requires too much biology knowledge to be a useful thing to say :)
