Food Effects

[Atlas]

Apart from the obvious bits everyone's pointing out (with which I wholeheartedly agree), I find the OP's idea on mixing food and beverage to be really cool (and something like that was already on FFXI, even though drinks only gave regen/refresh effects).
I was also thinking it would be really cool for chefs and alchemists alike, to be able to use materia as a sort of secret ingredient, to 'spice up' the foods, and give them extra bonuses.

It would be sad to be left out of the materia stuff :/
