Ingredient base types
I am big into cooking and apparently a lot of people are hard pressed to find time to cook and end up eating poor quality food.
For me it’s natural and easy but for those not brought u with its hard so I wanted to explore their blockers …
Ingredients and getting a base at the supermarket . So maybe a data mapping of standard ingredients to actual types of those ingredients. Yes I know this varies per county but it’s doable in stages. The idea is to get the basics like fish oil, seeded mustard ( not the crappy ones ), etc
it’s almost like an ontology from a technical perspective. Mustard has many tyoes like abgeneological tree .
@gedw99 Do you mean to have some sort of conversion from recipes to actual products in the user's own country? Could you provide an example to clarify what is suggested by this issue//request?
Yes but initially just in English .
an example is the ingredients for making spaghetti Napoli. You need various ingredients to make a really good one of those :)
Do you have an example in mind how such a conversion could be made? Because it sounds like it can very much be a subjective thing.
From an app perspective I suppose a user mapping could be one thing, where the user can define their own conversions from ingredients to their preferred products. The thing with this is that the users who care about such a conversion will most likely already do the conversion in their heads on the fly just like you do. 🤔 Maybe it would be more useful to get suggestions for alternatives for ingredients in the cases the user is missing an ingredient, but maybe has another one at home that could be used as a substitute.
