Let a good meal give a lasting bonus without wasting a worse one

Cooking for a bonus is a core pleasure of survival, but what if you eat a second dish while the first still works? Stacking everything breaks the game, and silently eating a worse dish with no effect feels like a robbery. This entry sets the rule and who loses what.

Why this works

A bonus is a choice only if it can be lost. With one slot, a better or longer meal wins and a worse one is refused, and not using up the food on a refusal respects what the player cooked, so nothing is taken for nothing.

When not to use it

Skip it when you want players to combine many foods for a clever build, or when meals are rare and each should always count. Then allow several slots by type, such as one for food and one for drink.
