“they didn’t think butter would be a problem”
Holy crap! A HOSPITAL nutritionist thought that? Of course, that was probably long ago before everybody got sensitized to the potential problem.
I met a young lady on a flight to Boston over 40 years ago. We hit it off and we dated a few times on my return business trips to Boston. We went to Legal Seafood one night on a date. She knew she was allergic to shellfish, yet she ordered the lobster anyway! By the end of the meal, she was breaking out in hives all over the place. She was so miserable I dropped her off and said “good night.” LOL...that was a date I’ll never forget! It never occurred to me that she might have died from that allergic reaction.
