I'm not asking for new food item, I'm asking for an update of the current food. There are a lot of food items in FFXI, probably over 200+. You can count at least 15-20 dishes for each of the AH categories. However, not many are actually used by people.
Even the most extensive user of food will probably only use up to 20 different dishes. For melee jobs: Yellow Curry Buns, Red Curry Buns, Meat Kabobs, Bison Steaks, Rice Dumplings and Carbonara. For mages: Apple, Melon, Pumpkin pies, Sweet Rice Cakes, Cream Puff, Marron Glace, Cookies and maybe some other 3 hour cakes. For craftsmen: the macarons. Nowadays, mages rarely ever use any food in abyssea, melee reduced their food consumption and crafting are pretty much dead. Overall, a lot of food are merely there to level up cooking, take up space and confuse players.
In the past, SE did an update to food so players wouldn't just eat meat kabobs. Now, I think there should be another similar update so the remainder of 200+ food items are to be useful.
Note: There are a lot of food that nobody has any idea what they do. I don't think people are willing to spend time and effort to research about such food and write them down on wiki anymore. Perhaps SE would disclose the hidden stat bonus behind several of the current food items?
