I contracted alpha gal syndrome from a tick bite a few years ago so I get a pretty intense allergic reaction several hours after eating any meat from a mammal. I eat a lot of chicken, turkey, duck, and seafood as well as vegetarian dishes. I am actually getting really good at making great tofu dishes. I didn’t eat too much meat, maybe once a month, because I had given up factory raised meat years ago, which left fewer and more costly options.
