+% Note that this is Americanised, so some of these definitions are generous!
+food_type(velveeta, cheese).
+food_type(ritz, cracker).
+food_type(spam, meat).
+food_type(sausage, meat).
+food_type(jolt, soda).
+food_type(twinkie, dessert).

+flavour(savoury, cheese).
+flavour(sweet, soda).

+food_flavour(X, Y) :- food_type(X, Z), flavour(Y, Z).
+% Note: flavour(sweet, What) will return 'yes' and a closed set of answers because it is just all of the facts
+% but "food_flavour(What, meat)" will return answers and then say 'no', because it hasn't been given a flavour()
+% fact for "ritz"/"cracker".
+% This doesn't explain why "food(What, meat)" returns "no" after spam and sausage, though.
