Support in the food context refers not to a standalone edible item, but rather to any component in a dish that serves as a base or structure for presenting, combining, or enhancing other ingredients. It plays a physical or functional role in holding, containing, or complementing key elements of a dish without necessarily being the focal flavor. In some cases, the support is edible and adds its own texture or mild taste; in others, it may be a tool or structure not consumed.
