You find the thing everyone else walked past. Clean and sharp is where you want to be — you prefer definition over comfort, and precision pulls you in before richness gets a chance. You’re usually three steps ahead of whatever the crowd discovers next.
CAPER has traveled for food and will tell you about it. Not showily — more like they genuinely cannot believe most people haven't had white anchovy in Lisbon, or bread from the specific bakery in Puglia, or eel from the one market in Japan. They're the friend who turns a weekend trip into an obsession. They keep a running list of cities by the dish they do best. At the table, they ask follow-up questions about where the ingredients are from; they're not testing, they're gathering. CAPER is the Curious because their hunger is a specifically traveled hunger — they're been there, they're compared, and they want everyone else to go.

both bloom-robust across families; one seeks abroad, one holds the pot steady — different expressions of commitment.
both bloom-adventurous across families; CAPER travels for food, TORCH builds the fire for it.
TREACLE — The Grand
CAPER wants the new-found thing; TREACLE wants the inherited tradition. Discovery vs. continuity.
