My plan is to make food with prefixes which are gained depending on how you prepare it
For instance, 'Smoky' prefix gives a small Strength and Resistance buff for 30 seconds, 'Spicy' gives a speed buff for 10 seconds
There's a chance to get a prefix on any food you cook in an oven. Food cooked in a furnace always comes out 'Tough' (it restores hunger as if it's cooked normally, but restores saturation like it's still raw so your hunger will go down faster)
When you cook food in an oven fueled with oak or spruce wood, it gives +50% chance for a 'Smoky' prefix. Jungle wood gives the same for 'Spicy'. If you season the food with the right seasonings it also adds to the chance of a prefix.
I was thinking of adding other food too, like pies, stews and whatnot, once 1.4 comes out and Forge is updated for it (for potatos, chilli peppers and carrots) which require you to cook them in an oven, while removing some of the default stuff (cakes would require a different crafting method, for instance)
There is however a load of stuff I need to learn before I could actually do this so eh it's in the "ideas for things i will (probably never) do" category
