Flavor stand-ins for the almond

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (sauce, apple, cider, chicken, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey):

  1. Peasbetter flavor fit
  2. Beansbetter flavor fit
  3. Sesameabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Almondthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against sauce, apple, cider, chicken, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey. 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).
