Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the celery

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (tomato, sugar, vinegar, sauce, chicken):

  1. Garlicbetter flavor fit
  2. Tarragonbetter flavor fit
  3. Gingerabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Celerythe original

Fit is the average pairing score against tomato, sugar, vinegar, sauce, chicken. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
