Tags - can't create, can't find relevant existing

I was trying to post a question about how to process my surfeit of ground turkey before freezing it, but apparently I can't create tags on the fly, and none of the existing ones fit.

Off the top of my head, missing useful tags I could have used include:

  • turkey
  • poultry
  • food-storage
  • food-safety
  • freezing

If new users can't create tags, there needs to be an effort to build out a generic tag tree, ideally hierarchical, that includes categories like meat, vegetables, fruit, allergens, common cooking techniques, etc.

There's a tag for "ginger" but not "spices"? ("spicy" and "spices" are not at all the same thing) "Mexican-cuisine" but no other regional markers?

(Don't get me wrong: This site is a nice proof of concept but needs some work to get out of beta.)

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but on the third or fourth try the tags started behaving. https://cooking.codidact.com/questions/276311

Sorry you ran into trouble! I wish I knew what happened so I could figure out what to do about it.
