Hey Hoxard, thanks for the input. It's great to get another person's perspective and the fact that we mention a lot of the same points (Availability of citrus, fish, wood, hassle ingredients) makes me glad to know I'm not alone in this. Your perspective as a shopkeeper I think is also useful for the conversation. You also bring up what I consider would be a pretty simple solution to a lot of difficult recipe woes. Making food recipes in general yield more food. I think that's a fantastic general fix along with a value increase. You also make a great point bout food tiers. I also agree they can be a little funky and some standardization could definitely be in order. For vegetarianism/veganism I've only tried them at already higher levels of gourmand, I never considered levelling with the restriction. That definitely does not seem easy to do.
