My first two searches failed to find results.

And then I searched for fried chicken, and it tells me "From the recipes we've sampled for fried chicken, over 35% have chicken." and "In fact, over 20% of fried chicken recipes contain oil." The percentages between conflicting ingredient names for chicken and oil still don't add up even nearly to 100%, so these sentences are quite surprising.

I think the wonky stats might be because "From the recipes we've sampled for fried chicken, over 15% have korean chile."

Either there are a lot of recipes making the same typos, there's a whole world of "korean chile" fried chicken recipes out there, the database has to expand considerably, and/or the code has to discern same ingredients with different names, before the analysis parts start to make sense.

I like the idea, but this first experience wasn't very fruitful.
