We allergy kids know you mean well by not bringing up our allergies. You don't want us to feel bad. Yeah, it's nice if you don't eat that stuff in front of us. That doesn't mean we'll be offended if you talk about the foods. We're allergic to the food, not the topic!
My friends often apologize when they talk about nuts. If they say they love nutella, they quickly apologize to me as if I'd burst into hives just from hearing them! Don't apologize. I don't care if people like foods that I'm allergic to or if they want to talk about it. It's not like people refrain from talking about ice cream in front of lactose-intolerant people. We're not dying or diseased! You can talk about it in front of us and we won't mind. (I can't speak for everyone, but I know that I feel annoyed every time people act like I'll be offended)
As a little kid, I was sometimes made fun of because of my allergy. "Ha ha you can't have this" was expected to make me feel bad. I learned that showing that I absolutely didn't care and it didn't affect me caused them to stop. What was the point in making fun of me if I didn't care? Allergy kids shouldn't let these kind of things bother them, especially since it's often harmless.
A common response I used and still use is "I wouldn't like it anyway." And this is absolutely true. I've found that the things I'm allergic to have a distinct taste and scent that is repulsive and nauseating to me. It must be instinctual; my body's probably warning me that I should not eat whatever it is. Often when I've eaten something with nuts (without knowing) I immediately taste something wrong. Peanut butter and oranges smell and taste strong and almost noxious.
