- Eggplantbetter flavor fit
- Welsh onionbetter flavor fit
- Okrabetter flavor fit
- Potatothe original
Fit is the average pairing score against rice, flour, olive. 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).
