Let's make Food and Drink better

Space debt collectors aren't going to make you walk at 1/2 speed because the payroll has to be suspended

:saddowns: That wasn't my terrible (sort of kidding too) idea in the QM thread at all, at least get it right!

On topic though, this is a good idea.

I think one thing that could be done would be improving heals from kitchen-cooked food. Eating fries or whatever after you get a little beat up is fine, but it would be interesting if stopping by the bar and eating a monkey steak or a piece of fried fried fried fried chef's hat cake rangoon pizza cake could restore your health significantly even if it was very low.

Finding recipes on your own needs to be made easier somehow. It's sort of irritating that I pretty much HAVE to have the wiki open whenever I'm chef and I want to do something other than serve random things from the kitchen floor that I've fried ten billion times. Not to mention that the cook time and recipes for shit keeps getting changed (as though food is some incredible secret akin to chemistry recipes ) and now pretty much everything the cookbook in the kitchen tells you is wrong, not to mention all the things on the wiki. I like Clarks idea of being able to make generic foods when you fuck up, but don't UTTERLY fuck up. Call it a casserole. Casseroles are a fine dish for those of us with access to a random assortment of ingredients, cheeses and soups.

...Speaking of which, we need new ingredients. Why are there no chickens, cows or pigs (that you can butcher for edible food) in space? Chicken is a fundamental building block of half the greatest meals in the universe, followed by beef, and pork's just a bit behind that.
