YOUR PERSONALISED FOOD GUIDE · S1
Explore where wheat connect to local dishes and ingredients, recognise useful names and prepare questions for your next meal.
Typical recipes and products vary. This guide supports your research and conversation; it does not verify an individual meal.
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.
| Part of the meal | What to establish |
|---|---|
| The main ingredients | Check the base, filling, noodles, dough, batter or primary protein against wheat. |
| What is mixed in | Check sauces, stocks, premixes, seasoning blends, marinades and bought-in components. |
| How it is prepared | Discuss shared oil, water, equipment, surfaces and utensils separately from recipe composition. |
| Your selection | Type | Recorded coverage |

| Wheat | Allergy or food group | 7 Nigeria dishes have a recorded connection to investigate. |
Baked, fried and dairy-linked foods: Chin chin and puff-puff are fried examples, and Nigerian meat pie has a wheat pastry shell; egg may be used as a wash. Scotch egg involves boiled egg and commonly a wheat-based coating. Fura da nono includes a milk-based component, while homemade Nigerian custard may be egg-enriched. Ask about flour, breadcrumbs, butter, milk, egg and shared frying equipment.
Wheat flour: Wheat flour is the core flour in chin chin, puff-puff, meat pie pastry, Scotch egg coating and tuwon alkama. Ask about the flour in doughs and coatings, and whether breadcrumbs or flour dust were used on shared surfaces.

| 2 · Check names and derivatives | Look for wheat, recorded forms and compound ingredients. |
| 3 · Read the wider declaration | Check allergen and shared-production wording, and confirm it applies to the exact product and size. |

| Check the recipe | Ask a chef, manager or another person who can verify every ingredient and bought-in component. |
| Check preparation | Discuss shared oil, water, grills, utensils, work surfaces and substitutions where these matter to you. |
| Confirm the final order | Repeat the agreed version and ask who will verify it when the meal is served. |

TRY THIS“I need to avoid wheat. Could you check every ingredient in this dish, including sauces, stock, seasonings and garnishes, and tell me how it will be prepared?”
An honest inability to confirm is useful information. Ask which other item the kitchen can explain completely, or choose another venue or packaged product whose ingredients you can verify.
