Restaurant Menu's- wish they'd include the kind of broth they use

Tweet

Don't you ever wish that restaurants would include in their restaurant menus what kind of broth they use for their soup? I just had the misfortune to have a food allergy today because the soup I ordered had shrimp as a soup base. I have asthma and it has been acting up recently and I was avoiding anything that could trigger my allergies and asthma more. Had I known, I would have ordered the chicken or fish and damn the consequences. I immediately tasted the shrimp at the first sip and I asked the waiter right away, and he answered that it was just made of pork. It was fortunate that I did not take another spoonful because he came back informing me that the soup was indeed made of shrimp (the broth). I told them that I was allergic to shrimp and they should have included that in the menu. The manager apologized and I haven't looked at my bill yet but I guess they did not charge me for it. But the damage has been done and I am now like a swollen tomato. Which comes to my question, don't you just wish that they include what kind of broth they use for the soup? So that for those who have allergies (like me) will avoid it as much as possible.
