Pairing

Haddock + Whiting

We can't judge this pair from its chemistry: the two records carry an identical set of flavor molecules, so the overlap means nothing. 103 recipes in our collection combine them. They are chemically alike and usually fill the same role, so they behave more like substitutes than partners.

Circle size = number of flavor molecules on record. Overlap = molecules they share.
This comparison cannot be read as similarity. These two carry an IDENTICAL compound set — they are the same record twice, not two foods that resemble each other. Any similarity score between them is arithmetic on nothing. Distinguishing molecules on record: Haddock 0, Whiting 0 (the typical ingredient has 12).

Do haddock and whiting go together?
