Not particularly involved with any vegan, but I agree that replacing eggs in a cake needs more thoughts than just replacing by maizena (corn starch) or compote (fruits in syrup).

@R.. That's a very vegan centric perspective. There's lots of foods that people might not want to eat, or that might even be dangerous for them to eat, that don't contain meat or other animal products.

My question to you (OP) would be: who is the cake for? If it's for a visitor, that's one thing; if in your house there are only three people, you, and your parents, and the cake is for your enjoyment as a household of three, that's a different thing. And if the cake is specifically for you, then that's the extreme. The empathy for your cause would be different, based on which of the three were true. First, it's not FOR you.

There are substitute for eggs, but it depends on the recipe. Bananas, vegan yogurt, oil, certains types of flour, compote, syrup, startch, tofu, potatoes, even gelly (seaweeds).

My background is middle Europe. Asking for diet could point to weight problems, asking for restrictions could point to deseases. If the OP already fears to implicate problems, I'd just leave those words off. "Which food do you not want to get served" is general and sounds less impacting than a phrase that translates to "do you have to avoid some food due to any issues or health problems". The neutral phrase also includes those that simply don't like the taste of certain food even if there is no serious background. — puck 49 secs ago

Or so they say, to be polite.

@RedSonja It's hard to say. I never see him other than our lunches together, so I really don't know. If I knew he did this for other women, I'd certainly feel less weird about it being done for me. — Jess K. 50 secs ago

Another phrase that can be helpful if pressed is something like "I'm sorry, I have a terrible reaction to it and my doctor advised me to avoid it" -- no need to specify the type of reaction or doctor. — Monica Cellio 18 secs ago

Important distinction : does "feeling down" not mean blue, melancholic, not very energetic et.c.? I've heard some different versions. Just thought a clarification could be useful. — mathreadler 43 secs ago

@davidbak we definitely support the kind of answer xyz is attempting to write, but we have some careful guidelines for answers like that. Specifically, this answer only really disagrees with the premise of the question but doesn't give a solution to the "alternate frame" it's set up. — scohe001 49 secs ago

Good answer, but in addition to escalation increasing risks it's worth pointing out that there is absolutely no upside. It accomplishes absolutely nothing, whether you do it immediately or later. — Upper_Case just now
