I don't know if I'm jumping ahead of myself here...but I'm hankering for
some discussion...and everyone else seems to be looking forward to
discussion as well.

There is a general consensus that these two are fine examples of FC.

The epicurious recipe site troubles me. I think it is a good example of how
FC *navigation* can succeed on a web site. However, the FC itself does not
seem complete. For instance, Beef and Vegetables at the same level creates
problems. Beef is more specific than Vegetables as a facet. What about
Chicken? It is like Beef as a specific meat, but hidden under Poultry. And
to add the fact that I can't find Turkey under Poultry. 

Is this a misappropriation of good FC? Or am I being too picky?
