do not need the ingredients of made-up dishes, but the ingredients of
salads should be itemised. Quantities are not required. There is no need
to distinguish between things eaten by everyone and things eaten by
certain members only.
If a member of your household has a packed meal for, say, their mid-day
meal, note the sex and age of the individual in the space provided; and
