L’année dernière, nous avons mangé dans un restaurant italien pour fêter mon anniversaire parce que j’adorais la pizza au jambon. Cette année, nous ferons un buffet végétarien parce que je ne mange plus de viande. Nous boirons des cocktails sans alcool, mais n'y aura rien avec du lait parce que malheureusement, je suis allergique aux produits laitiers.
Last year we ate in an Italian restaurant to celebrate my birthday, because I used to love ham pizza. This year we will be having a vegetarian buffet because I no longer eat meat. We will drink alcohol-free cocktails, but not with milk. Unfortunately, I am allergic to dairy products.
