Better honey-based food and drink effects

[Fun Pimple]

Hello everyone!

I often find myself not making any honey-based food and drinks because imo they seem pointless. They offer the same 5% cure, same as honey, I often just consume honey by itself then eat other food. They're also high on the cook book tier which even makes it more redundant, by that time I can craft Honey Sham, I already able to craft Herbal Antibiotics.

So I propose some ideas: give them additional effects.
Herbal Tea - Remove your food consumption smell after you drink it. Now you can safely eat anywhere without have to looking for a pool of water to jump in afterward. Does not remove raw meat carry smell however.

Honey Sham & Honey Brisket - No consumption smell, bigger cure percentage (10% or 15%?), and also provide temporary infection immunity similar to vitamin (since vitamin cannot be crafted).

That's my ideas, what do you guys think?

They need something because they are pretty pointless. I mentioned that when they first introduced them. I still haven't made any and probably never will if they remain as they are. I see no reason to put honey into food since 99% of the time when I'm eating, I'm not infected. As far as a higher percentage curing, that is fine to add, but I also rarely let infection go over 5%, so it's not a big deal to me. I also rarely use either antibiotic for that reason. And considering once you cure yourself from infection, you're protected from more infection for an hour (I believe that's how long), it reduces the need for any kind of infection curing.

Plus, I don't believe that eating honey generates smell.

Honestly, with how difficult it is to get wax for apiaries, honey food seems non-viable. I'm on Day 28 (2 hour days) and I've gotten a total of 8 wax,

Exactly my situation. No there is no tangible benefit to make honey-based food when non-honey based food are just as good. There's no good incentives, Apiary just seem so pointless right now.

Same, it's even harder to get wax.
