Seems like not everyone is fond of the op, but considering I'm just returning...I'll give him a chance :P

Op, I think this is a neat idea, however, putting it into coding and such sounds like it is more trouble than it's worth for the dev. team. Because then they have to come up with ideas of "well a pesto pizza gives X stats, but what if said person doesn't want to use walnuts in pesto sauce...what if they wish to make it with gridania nuts? THen it should give this affect"...it's just too many possibilities. Very neat idea...I just think that the resources of the devs are better suited in other areas.
