var/list/food=list("Egg"=list("White","Yolk"),"Bacon"=list("Meat","Fat"))


That is just a very simple example. What I'm trying to figure out is how to view them(white, yolk, meat and fat ect)?

client/verb
 show_foods()
  for(var/f in food)
   src<<"[f] (Contains: [list2params(food[f])])"


This outputs:

"Egg (Contains: White&Yolk)"

While this is OK I want I want it to be spaced out, preferably with commas like this:

"Egg (Contains: White, Yolk)"

Is there any other way of doing this apart from using list2params()?

A nested for() loop should serve you well.

client/verb/show_foods()
    for(var/f in food)
        var/added = 0
        var/string = "[f] (Contains: "
        var/list/l = food[f]
        if(!istype(l)) continue
        for(var/c in l)
            if(added) string += ", [c]"
            else {string += "[c]"; added=1}
        string += ")"
        src << string
