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.)
