Think of this as a rough draft for an idea that could then go down into the proper forum.
Idea: MC3 and the fancy frypan
Have you ever been thinking of making something, say an omlet, looked in the fridge, and noticed that you just also happen to have mushrooms? So instead of a basic omlet with 3 eggs and cheese, you dice up 2 mushrooms in butterfly butter to fry them, and then add them too?
Why not an additional catagory of cooking where you have wildcard slots, some of them can only take one item, others can take anything. If glitch had chocolate, "X dipped in chocolate" would be one of the largest wildcards you could cook.
The end of any one of these wildcard recipies would be when you used all possible variations of it... say, made all 15 possible basic omlet variations, you would then unlock a better omlet.
