~/src/food ??
Computer programs are written by programmers. Fortunately for us, we don't have to write in the language that the computer actually uses, we use a programming language instead.
Anyway, the code that we actually write is source code.
In the same way that a program's source code is what you need to build the actual program, a recipe is what you need to make the actual meal. Recipes, I like to think, are the source code for food.
So what about the name? Source code is very often kept in a directory called src. Programmers kind of like to shorten things. Anyway, before I made this database, I kept my recipes as text files in with all of my programming source code (in ~/src/food !):
