Not counted because listed without a quantity: salt, pepper.
Only a tenth of the deep-frying fat is counted — that is what usually ends up in the food.
Computed with raw ingredients as bought. Cooking losses, peel, trimmings and what stays on the plate are not accounted for. Own dishes and ingredients “to taste” have no values.
