Bacon + Bell pepper
Bacon and bell pepper are substitute candidates — they share aroma chemistry (chem 0.40) but rarely appear in the same dish. One could stand in for the other in many recipes. Both sit inside the "Savory cheeses and umami aromatics" mode.
What do these scores mean?
Cooks-with (technical name: Cooc) measures how often the two ingredients appear in the same dish across 4M recipes. Tastes-like (Chem) measures how much aroma chemistry they share via FlavorDB. Blended (Core) combines both. All are cosine similarities in 300-D space — practical ranges differ per axis, so see the per-row context to read them.
