Check out the Toxic compounds in potatoes section of the Potato Wikipedia page.

Light to potatoes is like food after midnight to gremlins. Keep 'em in the dark if you know what's good for you.

Interesting. I didn't know that either. What's more, potato is also in the same family.

i agree with dish being first level before recipe. but is recipe even modeled in freebase?

the problem with measurements, is not so big imo, because there are defaults/standards how big a cup is. on the other hand cooking, baking an so on is not about being absolut precisly.
some likes it more salty...

I think you can have multiple recipes for one dish. Take, for example, chocolate brownies. Everyone has their own recipe that's their family favourite or whatever.

So I think that "dish" is the first level approximation, and "recipe" is more detailed below that.

Another thing that's difficult with recipes is quantities. I spent a bit of time thinking about how you might model it in a way that can encompass such things as "1 cup flour", "3 cloves garlic", "pinch of salt", and "12 eggs" with equal ease.

hi,

Dish nearly the same as recipe!?

What about alternative ingredients, is it possible to model this in a dish?

Coriander: What typing shall it have ?

I'm no coriander expert, but isn't it both? it's OK for topics in Freebase to have multiple co-types, in order to model the real world where things often fit into more than one category. In this case, co-typing would correctly recognize the multiple uses of coriander.

Coriander is both an herb (the leaves) and a spice (the seeds). It ideally should have both types. What higher types would herbs and spices go under then perhaps ? Ingredient Type isn't created yet, but should it be ? I don't think so, since many raw foods are ingredients. And Ingredients are just items, really, with no Heirarchy. Foods really need to be classified by their use ideally. So my vote is to give Coriander both a Herb Type and Spice Type separately, since their are many plant parts that are used this way, such as Mustard and others. Further discussions follow in the Herb Type.

Apple: Apple the Fruit

I believe this refers to the Fruit Apple, not the computer, judging by the wikipedia description, in addition to the fact there is already an Apple, Inc. topic.
