Luckily my own cat has no food allergies, but I've got a friend with a cat who does have allergies, and she's starting to have trouble getting the Royal Canin recipes that have protein sources she knows her cat can eat.
As far as I know, the cat has eaten venison, rabbit, and duck without incident. My friend isn't sure which (or how many) of the more common proteins her cat is allergic to, and I doubt she'd like to put her cat through a round of scratching and skin issues to find out (especially since the cat is FIV+; those scratches can get infected easily). The cat eats mostly dry food now and I'm not sure how she'd feel about going with a canned only diet, but feel free to mention them and I'll pass on the info so she can make her own choices.
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a few threads about cats with food allergies back when I was researching what to feed my own cat but I can't remember where they are, and I'm hoping that asking here will be quicker than exhaustively searching CatFoodDB (though it's a great tool). Anyone have recommendations to help my friend's cat?
