Assistance writing a Prolog rule

Question

Given that I have entered the following facts into the factbase. Each sidedish has two ingredients:

maindish(thanksgiving, turkey). 
sidedish(thanksgiving,pie). 
ingredient(pie,spice).
ingredient(pie,sugar).

I have written the following rule to return the dishes for a given holiday:

meal(Holiday, [F1,F2]) :- maindish(Holiday,F1), sidedish(Holiday,F2).

?- meal(thanksgiving, Foods).

I am trying to write a rule called ingredientList that will identify the type of ingredients needed for each holiday. By associating the dishes and ingredients for each given holiday.

Please get informed how this site works by reading the tour. — false
