🧂 What spices do

119 online

Pick a dish to see what each spice does in that very dish. We only compare variants of the same dish that differ by exactly one ingredient – the rest (meat, egg, flour, slot percentages) must be identical. The same spice can do one thing in a smoked sausage and another in a raw dish, so every dish is analysed separately.

⚠ Spice quality does not matter, and a spice's multiplier within one dish is constant (e.g. Salt in Meat-in-Jelly is always ×1.80, in Smoked Wolfdog ×1.12) – it is a property of the (spice, dish) pair. What varies is WHICH FEP gets multiplied: that depends on the other ingredients, e.g. what the wood contributed. The data has no meat or flour quality, so negative changes on base FEPs are usually base-quality noise, not a spice effect.

Ingredient character

Raises the quality of the whole dish – all FEPs grow by a similar percentage, on average ×1.43 (proportional in 100% of pairs).

Average multiplier of FEPs present on both sides: ×1.43, growing in 100% of cases.

Multiplier: average of (value with spice ÷ value without), i.e. by what percent the spice raised the stat; "new FEP" = absent without the spice. Only with ingredient: in how many pairs this FEP exists only in the variant with the ingredient. Consistency: share of pairs with a positive change.
