Slight tangent: anyone built a recipe site that works by presenting a common item (chicken, flour, milk, etc) with "Got this? Yep or Nup" and so on to build a list of search terms?

CookThing seems similar I guess, but not quite the same.

http://www.supercook.com/ is a front-end to allrecipes.com

Not sure if it wasn't working when I tried it, but I entered 'capsicum' and it showed no recipes. What I envisaged is a site that would randomly pick a common ingredient (rice, potato, coconut milk) and confirm that the visitor had it at hand. Then go from there, rather than starting by having them name something they had.

There's a site that do exactly this, but I can't remember it's name right now.
