Flavor stand-ins for the parsnip

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (olive, onion, carrot, flour, red wine, beef, pepper):

  1. Tomatobetter flavor fit
  2. Potatobetter flavor fit
  3. Capsicumbetter flavor fit
  4. Parsnipthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against olive, onion, carrot, flour, red wine, beef, pepper. 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).
