Compositions.
Spread Culture.
Culinar-E treats ingredients as building materials and asks what structurally connects two that do not obviously belong together. Underneath the pairings, each record holds where it came from, who moved it, and by what mechanism.
The annotation is not spread evenly, and the unevenness is the argument.
Living food cultures. Every entry carries origin, routes and context.
The decontextualised global pantry, left unmarked on purpose rather than left undone.
An absence in this archive is a recorded decision wherever it can be, not a gap waiting to be filled. Pairings the traditions do not document are listed as refusals rather than given an invented citation.
The Blueprint
Select two materials. The studio returns keystones, the bridge ingredients that structurally link them, ranked from structural to speculative, and says when a bridge is not needed because the two already share a foundation.
Pantry Archive
Every material in the record at its own address. Type, taste, every sourced bond with the reference behind it, and for 290 of them the cultural layer: origin, colonial trade routes, migration, and the labour and class histories underneath.
