If you and he and 8 other buddies are all going and everyone else wants oysters, then he should just suffer. If the people he is eating with don't know him well enough to know his allergies already, he could suggest another restaurant if his opinion is solicited, but no special pleading.
I've got an anaphalactic allergy that has had me eating the breadsticks more than once, and I used to be a vegetarian. It's more of a pain in the ass to argue about restaurant choices than to just order the one lousy thing you can eat or grab something at home later. And muy unsociable, too.
BR(that said, I've had people get really pissed at me when we end up someplace where I can't eat, or worse when I can't eat something they've cooked, claiming I should have submitted a detailed list of all my food needs in advance. The explaination "it never occurred to me, I'm hanging with you so I don't care what the food is" seems to shock them. Baffling.)C

didja ever go over a friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good?
i mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed and the chicken taste like wood,
so you try to play it off like you think you can by saying that you're full.
And your friend says no way mama he's just being polite he ain't eaten unh-unh, that's bull.
