re: Peanut allergy

well, the above spelling is very poor. It translates like I should not eat nut shells and people will laugh. I assume it is peanuts allergy you mean. In this case you should say "Imam alergia kam fastaci". If it is all nuts, say "imam alergia kam iadki".

2)Bulgarians don't use peanut oil for cooking,so the chance of finding peanut traces in your food borders 0,but some desserts might have nuts,so ask your server,or simply eat fruits for dessert-it's healthier, anyway
3)in case you REALLY have to say it in Bulgarian:Imam alergia kum fastatsi.

re: Peanut allergy

My girlfriend suffers the same allergy. We spent a week in Bansko last year and didn't find any problems. Bulgarian food is quite straightforward, with grilled meats and salads so she wasn't too worried.

Have a good holiday!
