Understanding soy in Spain
Read the complete meal: its base, sauces, stock, seasonings, coatings, garnishes and preparation. A familiar dish name does not establish the recipe used for the serving in front of you.
This guide keeps every selected food together. A recorded connection identifies something worth checking; a missing connection leaves the ingredient status unknown.
Relevant food context for Spain
Bread: Bread may be a side, a wheat-based thickener or a base for a pintxo; some breads also contain egg, milk, sesame or soy ingredients. Ask what flour and enrichments are present, and whether crumbs or bread were added to sauces.
Bakery or pastry shop: Ask about the complete recipe for Santiago cake, empanada Gallega, coca, torrijas or pastry cream. Check wheat flour, egg, milk, butter, almond, sesame and soy ingredients, plus fillings, glazes and decorations. Ask whether the item was cut or displayed with shared equipment.
