Not sure if it's intentional, probably not, but mealie is also the South African colloquial word for corn. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mealie

That’s funny I’ve only heard the term used to describe bad apples

A "mealy" apple is spelt differently https://www.thekitchn.com/food-science-what-makes-apples-957...

And pronounced not quite the same either as the usual Southern African word for "an ear of maize", or the products made therefrom, e.g. "meilie meal" (1) and "mieliepap" : corn porridge / grits (2).

I've been using (and even built!) recipe organizers and complex meal planners for about a decade now. Recently I decided, screw it, and just powered up a little self-hosted wiki. Now I have a section for all the meals that we like to make, that everyone likes to eat and I copy/paste them in. The epiphany was that 99% of the recipes I was storing were crap and I was wasting my time with a dedicated system. The wiki ha…

> Plus, wikis have really good change tracking, so I'm able to make little modifications without worrying about losing access to the original.

It's a really good point for user experience scenarios that are close to mine. I like to import recipes from places but most of the time what i need would be adding personal notes or making touches to those recipes without losing the original. Not sure how important these are to most of the people tho
