Food Food Food......

So, as I'm sitting here at work on my Lunch, thought I would raise this minor frustration I have with the game and get the communities thoughts.

So, I was buying some food last night ready to run Darkshade. I'm running a Breton Stam Temp so wanted a Blue buff for Health and Stam.

I had a choice of: Kwama Edd Omlet, Breton Bubble-and-squeak & Silverside Perch

Now I use the choice loosely as this is where the frustration is. What's the actual point of have 3 Blue foods that do EXACTLY the same? I'm erring on the side of some lazy implementation....but why?

This made me then think, with something say like the Breton Bubble-and-Squeak, why not have this food give you a minor buff to the Breton Passives (or something linked to the Breton Race) and have food stuffs similar for the other races. Maybe even diversify it a little more where it might be a food that is aligned towards a Mage or DK.....

Just a thought, but it would certainly revive the whole Provisioning market....

The original intent of the triplicate recipes was each faction had different ingredients and recipes. With the great food overhaul to make all ingredients available all the time this no longer makes as much sense.

Its to give us a choice? You have more of x,y,z materials than a,b,c? you pick recipe one. Its other way around? You pick recipe two. Its simple as that.

As @ontheleftcoast said, before the provisioning overhaul, each alliance had their own recipes up to level 35 (they all consolidated from level 40 up), so when they changed all the recipes, they didn't consolidate them. I think it adds to the flavour of the game (no pun intended. :-P)

Ahhh, I guess that would make more sense pre-Food Overhaul.
