NZ takeaway: what to order

No gentlest way through

There's no gentlest way through to name here — there's only one main scored here. What each dish is made of is on the row below, and that's where the difference is.

No one shop's recipe. Every kitchen cooks these differently, so these are typical versions built from our own food catalogue — useful for seeing which dishes tend to sit heavier, not for judging the place you order from.

We're not saying one dish is better for you than another, and this isn't any restaurant's recipe — it's the dish as it's usually made, scored from our own food catalogue. GASP estimates how likely a food is to give you wind, urgency or loose output — which isn't the same thing as healthy.
