Partial The interactive force-graph visualization and settings are vibe-codeable, but the map depends on a curated dataset linking dishes to ingredients and cuisines.
What it would actually take: The front end can be built with a graph or canvas library such as D3 or Three.js for the globe. The real difficulty is assembling and cleaning a large, accurate ingredient-dish-cuisine dataset and computing meaningful similarity scores, which requires data curation, culinary knowledge, and validation.
Discussion

Concerns raised: Borscht incorrectly labeled as Russian rather than Ukrainian
