More Food plz

I love this game so much,a food update would be the best thing that I could wish for!More plants!More meat!More mushroomsMore EVERYTHING!

As a majority of food are already not used, I'm not sure I really agree.  We could really use an overhaul of food to make the existing gambit of food more useful under varying circumstances.

This all said, I suppose I am not completely opposed to more food content...as long as it isn't just more bloat.

I'd like to see more done with the food that we already have...a crockpot recipe focusing on mushrooms would be nice, particularly now that we can farm those. Like, not something you can make with just mushrooms because that might be op, but...gravy steaks with mushrooms? Mushburger? Or maybe something sanity-focused, since 2 out of the 3 mushrooms are mainly used for that.
TBH I've made use of every recipe at some point, besides Guacamole, and now there's a specific use for that. Even if we don't use them all constantly, it's nice to have them in the game for those cases when they happen to be useful.

I mean, I'm fairly into cooking irl so I'm biased here, but the game's title is about food, eh?

Re-balancing could totally be done, but...some of the foods that people see as useless do have purposes. Monster Lasagna's bad so that you can't live on monster meat without some other work involved, for instance. Ratatouille's mediocre for a similar reason, Meaty Stew is kind of an inefficient use of meat...ect.

1 meaty stew restores 150 hunger. 4 cooked meat restores 100 hunger in total so that's a gain of 50 hunger then used for meaty stew. Or you can use the more efficient recipe of 1 meat, 1 monster meat and 2 morsels that comes to restoring only 68.75 hunger and getting a gain of 81.25 for the stew. So meaty stew really isn't all that bad.

Eh, it's not bad, and even lasagna and ratatouille and whatnot can be useful sometimes. I had an extended nomadery trip the other day and used the later somewhat due the sheer volume of veggies I had combined with a lack of meat due to low inventory space.

I meant moreso in terms of alternatives. Meatballs are about 60 hunger with just 1 of any type of meat product per piece...if we're calculating, 0.5 meat per piece minimum, so half meaty stew's meat value gives you more restoration.
But meaty stew has its place, too. If meat's going bad, or you just feel like farming meat rather than fillers (or for instance you have a Wig going around gathering stuff and following Koala trails so there's a meat excess), it's perfect.
