Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a food item obtained from pumpkins. Though the ingredients are hard to obtain in the early game, once a player establishes the farms, pumpkin pie is an advantageous food source. Unlike meat, it doesn't require cooking or slaughtering animals; it can be quickly crafted. Unlike mushroom stew, its ingredients are produced quickly, automatically and without need of bone meal. Unlike melons, cookies, bread, or cake, each pumpkin pie restores a large amount of health, making it convenient for quickly restoring the food bar. It has the same food value as steak or cooked porkchops, without the strain of finding livestock.

Trivia

 * Unlike cake, it can not be placed down onto the ground as a block.
