Overview
Suspicious Stew is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, trading (Farmer), and Suspicious Stew from brown mooshrooms. It cannot be stacked, so each Suspicious Stew occupies a full inventory slot on its own. Eating it restores 6 hunger (3 drumsticks) and 7.2 saturation points.
Restoring 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation, Suspicious Stew keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, the ancient city ice box is the best bet at about 55% per chest.

Eating Suspicious Stew
4 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 6.4 seconds before Suspicious Stew has done the job. Per point of hunger you get 1.2 saturation out of Suspicious Stew, and saturation is what drains before hunger does. Number 12 of 37 for saturation: Mushroom Stew at 7.2 does better, Baked Potato at 6 does worse. Unlike almost everything else on the menu, Suspicious Stew is edible when you are not hungry at all.
Notes
The effect depends on the flower used. Dandelion gives Saturation, Blue Orchid gives Saturation, Oxeye Daisy gives Regeneration.
