I'd suggest two additional units:

"whole" as in a whole medium onion
"to taste" as in pepper to taste

Just a heads-up, the unit types are in the recipe_unit database table. There is no user interface, but you could use phpMyAdmin and add in more unit types. Just a stop-gap mind you:)

OK John and I agree to this does not seem to be needed:

"whole" is implied by "unit". It's probably not 100% clear (documentation issue) but when you select "1" "unit" "onion", the ingredient row will print out as "1 onion". It's really the same thing.

For "to taste", that's a little subjective and not defined. A "dash" of something is a possible alternative. Besides, aren't ALL ingredient units "to taste"? :-)
