Route

Pending

The routes are written. They are not yet mapped.

This entry's cultural layer already names where it came from and how it moved. What it does not yet carry is that movement as structure: ordered waypoints with real coordinates, and a mechanism on each leg. Until it does, the layer stays an empty slot rather than a drawn line, because a map built from prose would be a guess with a projection under it.

The anticucho marinade is aji panca and vinegar.

OriginPeru: The Cookbook (Gastón Acurio, 2015) · ¡Buenazo! Más de 600 recetas para cocinar en casa (Gastón Acurio, 2017)Recorded on ají panca

Read in Acurio's ¡Buenazo!, 2017, page 122, four cups of ají panca and a cup of good wine vinegar in the anticucho marinade. The book says wine vinegar without naming its colour; the cited Peru: The Cookbook was not the copy in hand.

Mechanism · physical

Not a flavour affinity but a structural one. Oil and vinegar separate, and an emulsifier is what lets the oil sit among the vinegar droplets instead: Nosrat calls an emulsion a temporary peace treaty between fat and water. Mustard is doing that job in a vinaigrette. Take it out and the dressing breaks.

Bonds are drawn from culinary literature and origin-tradition references, tiered by source. Origin means a reference from the place. Witness means the pairing is the place's own and the reference documenting it was written from outside.

The score is cultural weight: how central a pairing is in the tradition that documents it. It is not a prediction of how two materials behave in a formulation and not a measure of chemical affinity. The scale is ordinal, because centrality is a judgement rather than a measurement: 1.0 where the pair is the dish, 0.9 a fixed named form, 0.8 a canonical dish, 0.7 recurrent across many dishes, 0.6 common, 0.5 attested, 0.4 marginal or compound-led.

Each score is set against a named dish and carries that dish in its note. Where a score has not been examined it says so, because an inherited figure and a researched one should not look alike.

The dish is named by a reader who knows the cuisine and cites a source appropriate to it. It has not yet been confirmed inside that source page by page, so a note records what supports a score rather than what has been checked in the book.
