The journey of jam

The same 9 plates read outward from the middle: how the kitchens cook it, how it then arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. A wedge too narrow for its word carries it in the table underneath.

The journey of jam: 9 plates, 5 ways of cooking them, drawn as three rings — how it is cooked, how it arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. Every wedge is listed with its count in the table below.Jamfried — 2 plates (29%)friedgrilled — 2 plates (29%)grilledblackened — 1 plate (14%)blackenedbreaded — 1 plate (14%)breadedroasted — 1 plate (14%)roastednot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statedsmall-plate — 1 plate (14%)small-plateburger — 2 plates (29%)burgernot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statednot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statednot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statednot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statedappetizer — 1 plate (14%)appetizernot stated — 2 plates (29%)not statedappetizer — 1 plate (14%)appetizernot stated — 1 plate (14%)not statedappetizer — 1 plate (14%)appetizer
