Flavor stand-ins for the buckwheat

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (milk, flour, wheat, rice, sugar, butter, gin):

  1. Cinnamonbetter flavor fit
  2. Buckwheatthe original
  3. Nutmegabout as good a flavor fit

Fit is the average pairing score against milk, flour, wheat, rice, sugar, butter, gin. 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).
