World's First User Generated Flavour Map App Launched To Tag and Share Global Food Inspiration
The world's first interactive global flavour map app has been launched to pin and share food and flavours from across the world, with the aim of becoming the 'TripAdvisor for Taste'.
The free iPhone, iPad, Android, Facebook and web app allows users to pin and share global flavour finds through Google Street View and aims to create the world's most comprehensive collection of taste and flavour recommendations.
Anyone can sign in to the map using a Facebook or Twitter account or by entering an email address.
Users are then able to pin meals, recipes, and natural produce to specific locations using Google Street View and then attach images and write reviews.
It is fully searchable by location, cuisine, price and description, serving as a worldwide guide for people looking for taste inspiration.
It is also possible to share submissions on Facebook or Twitter and vote on each flavour tag, with the most popular displayed on a leaderboard.
In addition to the iPhone, iPad and Android applications allowing on-the-go users to geo-pin flavours and images to their current location, there is a web-based app as well as a dedicated Facebook app, which allows for pinning and searching within the social network.
Leaderboards show the most recent flavour pins, the most popular flavours and the most prolific contributors - ad hoc user rewards will also be given.
The Flavour Map app has been launched by fresh food brand GLORIOUS! Foods as part of its A-Z of Global Flavours ethos and commitment to searching out new and interesting flavour combinations from across the world.
It will be used by the company to crowd-source and develop new flavours for its soups, sauces and dips.
Our vision for the Flavour Map was to allow a global community to contribute to an entirely user-generated resource of flavours, and to share their amazing food taste experiences from around the globe or around the corner.
Whether it's an amazing spice from a food market, an unusual fruit or vegetable from a far-flung location, a dish unique to a particular community, a particular meal in a restaurant through to, say, a friend's barbeque sauce recipe or their signature home-cooked dish, we want to document it for everyone to share.
The fundamental aim of the Flavour Map is to inspire as well as re-educate consumers about flavours and savouring their food in what we hope may become a 'TripAdvisor for taste'. As a business, we will use it to inspire our own flavour research and development, and maybe even unearth a hidden flavour gem from around the world, and ultimately introduce new soup, sauce and dip product lines.
