What foods will lycanthropes and vampirism-afflicted individuals need to avoid?

In an alternate version of our world, lycanthropes and vampires were introduced about 300 years ago and are coexisting with us. Unfortunately, they had to adapt to our cuisine and avoid certain ingredients altogether.

• Vampires don't have much trouble eating meat, especially rare, and even fruit and vegetables to some extent. However, they react badly to vegetables similar to garlic, large amounts of salt, or edible wood-like substances such as cinnamon. They also need occasional human blood but that can be produced synthetically. Dishes such as black pudding are popular.

• Werewolves often have adverse reactions to things wolves (and therefore dogs) find toxic, but are otherwise just more inclined to eat meat.

• Both react badly to mandrakes and foods containing more than very trace amounts of silver.

What would have to be omitted from a largely British/Northern European diet, such as chocolate, cinnamon and garlic, in order to cater to these individuals?
