English term or phrase: "Excuse me, I do not eat..." and the 6 words below
Hi, thank you for the translation help :)

I need just the phrase "Excuse me, I do not eat..."

and the following 6 words

1. Meat
2. Pork
3. Poultry
4. Fish
5. Dairy
6. Eggs

The context is as a couple both with different dietary restrictions ordering at a restaurant for example :)
Thank you again!
David Ginsburg
Russian translation:Простите, я не ем/не употребляю
Explanation:
1. Мяса
2. Свинины
3. Птицы
4. Рыбы
5. Молочных продуктов
6. Яиц

'не употребляю' fits No.5 better, as it's hard to say in Russian that one actually eats dairy products.
If there's some restriction imposed by the doctor, then it'll be better to use
'мне нельзя есть' instead of 'я не ем'
