Use the oldest ingredients first and tell the player how fresh the dish turned out

Ingredients that go off give a kitchen game its tension, but the bag is a heap of mixed ages. Which tomato does the soup take, the fresh one the player wanted to save or the old one about to rot? This entry picks the ones closest to spoiling, throws out what has spoiled, and says how fresh the result is.

Why this works

Food that is used before it goes off is never wasted, so taking the batch closest to spoiling is the best move for the player in almost every case. Judging by time left, not age, treats slow and quick spoilers fairly, and the game can show the result honestly.

When not to use it

Do not force it when the player is meant to choose, such as saving the freshest produce for an important guest or a special dish. Then let them pick batches by hand, and use oldest-first only as the default.
