Suspicious Stew at a glance

Minecraft files Suspicious Stew under Food: a food item you get from crafting, trading (Farmer), and Suspicious Stew from brown mooshrooms. No stacking for Suspicious Stew: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine. On the hunger bar Suspicious Stew fills 3 drumsticks, 6 points, with 7.2 saturation behind it.

Restoring 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation, Suspicious Stew keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 7.2 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Suspicious Stew again. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold Suspicious Stew, the ancient city ice box is the best bet at about 55% per chest. It sits between Spider Eye and Sweet Berries in Food, number 35 of 37 there.

Eating

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.
