I think to be organized you’d pick one cuisine as a base object. So if a hotdog is a taco, then beef wellington is a burrito (bread on all sides) as is a calzone.
I’m sorry but I don’t follow. I’m mostly taking a piss at the idea that there could be a computational identification system.
My idea is you pick one ethnic style as the base and use the cube bread rule to classify every food under that one ethnic base class. So if you start with the idea that a hotdog is a taco, you’d make Mexican your base ethnic cuisine and classify all other foods into a type of Mexican food.
