Suspicious Stew

Suspicious stew is a food item that can give the player a status effect.

Obtaining
Suspicious stew is the only food item in the game that cannot be obtained from the Creative inventory but can be crafted and found in shipwreck chests. $$ suspicious stew can be given with commands like, but unless NBT data like that listed in the data values section is included, consuming it gives no effect. You can trade with farmers for it, and you can milk brown mooshrooms for it.

Crafting
Notice: the recipe book does not assist with crafting suspicious stew in Bedrock Edition, so the player must know the recipe.

Brown mooshrooms
After being given a flower, a brown mooshroom can be "milked" for suspicious stew with a bowl. The flower fed to the brown mooshroom determines what effect the stew gives. The effects flowers give in crafted stews are the same they will give in milked stews. A brown mooshroom can be created in two ways: breeding regular ones for a 1 in 1024 chance of getting a brown mooshroom, or a mooshroom getting struck by lightning. This can be achieved easier with a channeling trident, or a lightning rod in 20w45a (java).

Trading
$$, expert-level farmer villagers sell 1 or 2 suspicious stew for one emerald.

$$, master-level farmer villagers have a $1/3$ chance to sell suspicious stew for one emerald, and an expert-level farmer villager will sell suspicious stew for one emerald as well.

Food
A bowl of suspicious stew restores and 7.2 saturation points, and gives a few seconds of a status effect. The effect given upon eating depends on which flower is used, and is stored as an NBT Tag. The effect is not displayed in the tooltip, texture, etc., meaning that the player cannot tell in advance what the effect is unless they remember what flower they used.

The bowl is emptied and returned to the player after the suspicious stew has been eaten, and can be re-used to craft more stews. Unlike with other effect-giving foods, Suspicious Stew cannot be eaten unless the player is hungry.
