Lets start this suggestion off with a reason why i came up with it.
In the newest snapshot cauldrons can now collect rainwater, and i thought "Cool now i can put it outside right beside my infinite water source i made so i can collect water!"
Isnt that a great new feature? not really, BUT, it could be!
Allow me to introduce:
Cooking Food!
You start with a caulron full of water and then put some stuff in it. Like pork, steak and mushrooms.
Then you use either a flint and steel or a bucket of lava on the cauldron to cook whatever is in it.
the cauldron would begin to cook the food for a certain amount of time, cooking your stew.
Vegatables, more types of mushrooms, and lamb meat would be great items to add to improve this system.
I mean really, who dosent want lamb stew?
-UPDATE-
Salt, It is a mineable block that you find in large patches underground, in your inventory it would look like a bunch of little white specks.
This would increase the amount of recipies possible by quite a bit.
The system would work like potions except it would have less "magical" effects and would have more realistic ones.
Examples: Fullness - Hunger goes down slower for 5 minutes
Bloated - You ate too much! Now you suffer a movement penalty for X seconds/minutes.
Energy - Everything you do is a slight bit faster
Sickness - You feel sick and should sleep, lose 1 heart every 3 mins until you sleep and your hunger wont refill
Poisioned - Take 1 heart per second of damage for 5 seconds (caused when someone puts a harming poision into your stew while it is cooking
