Useful phrase of the week: "What are the ingredients in this?"

Ingredients is a word that means the different parts that something is made of.  It is used when talking about food.  If you have an allergy to a certain type of food, or if you have to follow a certain diet for religious reasons, this will be an important word to use. 

Here's An Example:

Host Mother: I just made some pizza for you!  Try some!
Student: How kind of you!  What are the ingrediants in this pizza?
Host Mother: It is made with flour, tomatoes, mushrooms, olive oil, and chicken.
Student: Sounds delicious.  Thanks for remembering that I can't eat pork.
Host Mother: You're welcome!
