Mee-Search
Rings outward: the broad thread, the community, the home prefecture, the dish. Click any wedge to make it the whole circle and dive a level deeper; click the middle to surface again. The point is that “Chinese” is a useless unit and Zhangzhou is a useful one.
Click a wedge to dive in. To come back out: click the middle of the circle, use ↑ Up a level, pick any step in the breadcrumb above, or press Esc. Fewer rings means deeper bands and more room for labels — 2 is the most readable, 4 shows the whole descent at once. Wedge size is the number of things underneath it, so the Hokkien wedge is wide because the community is large and well documented, not because its food is better.
Drilling from a vague label down to a specific claim in three clicks. Hokkien → Zhangzhou → lor mee is the fast path; Hakka → Dabu → kolo mee is the one most food writing gets wrong, because it files kolo mee under Foochow.
A radial hierarchy has to pretend each dish has one parent, which is exactly the thing this dataset says is false. Read it as a route in, and use View 01 or 04 when a dish has several parents.
