It occurred to me to wonder whether we might want to tag entries with, say, main ingredients. More selfishly, I'd love to have vegetarian/vegan entries tagged (or perhaps put into memories?). Obviously this has the potential to spiral out of control quite quickly as we all invent our own tags, so that would be a strong incentive not to go that route after all. Thoughts?
ETA: How about
annotated_em's suggestion below to set up a (semi-fixed) tag list early on, before we get oodles of omnommy posts, covering
• type of food (appetizer, main dish, etc.)
• dietary restrictions (allergens, vegetarian/vegan, kosher/halal, etc.)
• (broad classes of) primary ingredients (meat, fish, pasta, etc.)
Other current suggestions:
• type of cuisine (Italian, French, etc.)
• cooking questions and • requests for recipes
• cooking tips (this one's a current suggestion insofar as it just occurred to me)
Last I checked, polls weren't working terribly well – tho' perhaps this has changed? – so commenting here is still probably the best way to go, y/n? And then at some point we can figure out what people on balance think would be most useful, she says, vaguely.

on 2009-04-03 03:55 am (UTC)I need to give this some thought.
(On a completely unrelated note, I REALLY need a mod hat icon!)

on 2009-04-03 12:35 am (UTC)It seems like we're interested in a set of tags for type of food (appetizer, entree/main course, dessert, perhaps snack/salad/drink as well?), for specific dietary restrictions (allergens, vegetarian/vegan issues, perhaps halal/kosher and so forth as well?), and then for major ingredients (type of meat? type of vegetable/fruit? type of starch?).
Perhaps a set of tags for recipe-requests and for cooking questions (anyone know what I can do with this mountain of kale? how do I cook an artichoke?) as well?

on 2009-04-03 03:57 am (UTC)As I mentioned above, I'm reluctant to label things past vegetarian and vegan because a lot of people don't know what counts as, say, gluten-free. I do think that tagging main dish, appetizer, snack, dessert would work well.
