Your nested filter loops should work. The outer part will pick out all the
candidates. The inner will compare the full list against the candidate and
print if there's a match. There might be a double output if something has
both a suffix berry and is tagged tasty.
You could do it as one massive filter by listing the full list against
suffix berry and then again, in a second run, against the tasty tag. In
that case, the duplicates should collapse.
Or maybe I'm not understanding the problem?
