If I'm not mistaken, this means that the idea of an "eigentaste" is probably half actual taste (sweet, savoury, sour, fishy) and half a function of local and global society (cooked on a BBQ, cooked in a slow-cooker, considered "Indian").

It makes sense. You can change the desirability of the same pizza by either 1) cooking it on the BBQ, or 2) calling it a vegetarian pizza, even if the end product would be virtually identical in the end.

Obviously this is reflective of the subset of society that gets recipes from AllRecipes.com, but I'll wager that you'd find similar categories if you did a larger analysis.
