Have you ever though "hm, these porkchops are good, but they could use some flair?" If so, this post is for you. I'll go over my ideas on how gourmet food can be implemented into vanilla Minecraft, and how you would obtain said gourmet food.
Part 1: Salt
Salt Rocks would be one of the first things you could find in this new update. It is a new ore-like block, although the texture is a bit less like that of ore. It is about as common as iron, and can be mined with a stone pickaxe or better. When mined, it drops 1-4 Salt, which can be crafted into a Salt Rock by filling a 2x2 grid with Salt, or used as an ingredient in the Culinary Table.
Part 2: The Culinary Table
The Culinary Table is a new block that is used to craft new gourmet food. When right-clicked, it brings up a GUI with 3 inputs, a furnace-like bar for how long it will take, and the output. You must put in 3 ingredients, and if they are in the correct order and compatible, it will make a gourmet food. It requires no fuel, and is made similar to wooden slabs, but with sticks on the left and right of the bottom row.
Part 3: The Butter Churn and Cheese
The Butter Churn is another new block that is used to make Butter. You put in 1 bucket of milk in the input of the GUI, and as long as you are in a certain range of the Butter Churn, the progress bar will go up, and when finished will provide 1 Butter. Butter is another ingredient in the Culinary Table. You can also now make Cheese from Milk by putting a bucket of milk above salt on a 2x2 grid.
Part 4: The boring list of new foods you can make (needs spoiler, not sure how to add)
By this point in the post, you may be scratching your head and asking "Mooch, why is all this necessary?". Well, I'll tell you why- for buffs! Eating any gourmet food will give you a level 1 Gourmet buff, which lasts for 1.5 minutes. During the time when you have this buff, your food bar replenishes itself, but there is a catch- once the buff ends, it auto-triggers a hunger status, meaning it goes down more, to balance it out. Gourmet food made from other gourmet food (such as the Nether Cheesesteak) will give you higher levels of the Gourmet buff, but also cause a higher level hunger status.
Hope you enjoyed this post, it's still a work in progress, but comment with feedback, and if you like the idea, upvotes would be appreciated!
Honestly mooch I liked our other ideas better. This is good but I've never really wanted more food...except sheep should drop mutton. XD Also MysteryMan was right it is well written.

Wait, so why do we need the culinary table? Couldn't we just use the crafting table?
Well, I think the gourmet food should take a bit more time to make- gourmet foods in real life require more effort and take time, so I think gourmet foods should take time in-game too. It'd make the Gourmet buff and whatnot a bit too easy to get and potentially abuse, too.
