Dietary Requirements in English | Learn English with Cambridge

Hello, hello, everyone.

I’m Maria,

and in this video we will be checking

some expressions related to dietary requirements.

Let’s go!

Hey, what’s up?

How was your date?

Oh, it was awful.

Why?

Well… Sofia, are you vegetarian by any chance?

Okay, a vegetarian is someone

who doesn’t eat meat for various reasons.

No.

Vegan?

Vegans don’t eat or use animal products,

like cheese or leather.

Then he asked me if I was pescatarian.

And, girl, I don’t know why I thought

that it was someone who ate everything but fish.

No.

A pescatarian is someone who eats fish,

but not meat.

Yes, you’re right,

because we ended up in a seafood restaurant,

and fish, well, it’s not my cup of tea.

Eureka!

The only dish

that doesn’t have so much fish is this one.

Oh, but it has pistachios and milk.

Excuse me, this plate …

No way!

This is also my favourite dish.

Could you please bring us two of these and some wine?

Sofia, but you’re allergic to pistachios

and lactose intolerant.

When you’re allergic to something,

you can ask… Does this dish contain pistachios?

Or does this have pistachios in it?

And if you’re intolerant,

you can ask, could I get this lactose free, please?

And nobody would have noticed.

I tried, but he didn’t let me.

So… No.

No.

No.

Thanks.

I really had to do something.

I mean, I wasn’t going to eat it.

And suddenly… it was the perfect opportunity.

So… Oh, my gosh!

Look at what is happening!

In the blink of an eye, I just switched the plate.
