Hey guys will I be understood with this in restaurants? I have a severe peanut allergy and one peanut 🥜 is enough to kill me. So I want to be absolutely sure. I will visit Albania as a tourist from tomorrow on.

Thank you!

    Yea, this is the correct translation, I wouldn’t worry tho, because we don’t normally use peanuts in our cooking.

  2. As a side question… I haven’t noticed peanuts in many Albanian dishes. Are there any traditional dishes that typically contain peanuts or other nuts from the same family? All I can think of is maybe some deserts.

  3. bro carry a Epipen with you all time.
    You wont believe the level of ignorance.
    It can be potentialy DeADly

    How many times are you going to post this? I’ve seen you post the exact same thing twice over several months

  5. There may be places that use peanut oil.

    Tell them: JU LUTEM, MOS PËRDORNI VAJ KIKIRIKU, SEPSE ĒSHTĒ VDEKJEPRURĒS PĒR MUA.

  6. Username doesn’t check out. 🤣 On a serious note, you should seriously consider making your own food. Food allergy is not a major concern among the general population of Albanians because the food intolerance incidence is very low like ~1% compared for example to US where the numbers in the general population are around 11%.  We don’t use a lot of peanuts, except as snacks and some sweets but with your condition you can never be too sure. You might even ask the cook and they may not know the full picture and give you an answer which may threaten your life. There might be places which cook in a peanut free environment but I don’t think I have ever encountered one and I have never met an Albanian who’s allergic to peanuts. They probably exist but it’s likely extremely very rare. Be careful and enjoy your vacation!

    Edit: compared to let’s say Sweden where in every restaurant I was being asked to state my allergies
