Format/Type

Dish format type groups food by its physical shape, such as flatbread, soup or stew. Wikipedia describes pizza's form as "a flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomato, cheese, and other ingredients, baked at a high temperature," a format shared with many other flatbreads worldwide. This dimension lets a visitor compare dishes that take the same physical form regardless of their ingredients.
