## Prompt

```text
Help me eat safely while traveling with a food allergy or dietary need.

**Destination and language(s):** [COUNTRY and LANGUAGE]
**My allergy or dietary need:** [e.g. severe peanut allergy, celiac disease, vegan, halal, kosher, diabetes]
**Severity:** [e.g. anaphylaxis risk - carry epinephrine / intolerance / preference]
**Cross-contact concerns:** [e.g. shared fryers, same cutting boards, traces]
**Local dishes I'm curious about:** [LIST - optional]

Give me:
1. A short restaurant card in English and the local language: what I can't eat, hidden sources to watch for, cross-contact concerns, and a polite thank-you. Keep it to 5-6 sentences.
2. A list of common local ingredients and dishes that often contain my allergen or don't fit my diet, and safer dishes to ask about. Present these as things to confirm with staff, since recipes vary.
3. Questions to ask when ordering.
4. A travel plan: safe snacks to pack, grocery and kitchen options, telling the airline and hotel in advance.
5. For severe allergies: carry my emergency medication in hand luggage with a doctor's note, know the local emergency number, and have a translated phrase for "I'm having an allergic reaction, call an ambulance".

Note that translations should be checked by a native speaker or professional translator if the allergy is severe. This is general information; ask my doctor or allergist about a travel action plan.
