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
The recipe book does not assist with crafting suspicious stew $$, so the player must know the recipe.

Mob loot
After being given a flower, a brown mooshroom can be "milked" for suspicious stew by a bowl on it. The flower type determines the stew's effect using the same rule as a crafted stew. Red mooshrooms cannot be fed flowers or milked for suspicious stew.

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 offers to sell suspicious stew for one emerald as well.

The trading interface does not indicate the type of suspicious stew being sold, but each trade entry will consistently yield the same type of stew, so the player can remember or make a note of the types offered by a given villager, e.g."this villager's first stew gives blindness, and their second entry gives saturation".

Food
To eat suspicious stew, press and hold while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores hunger and 7.2 hunger saturation and gives a few seconds of a status effect that varies depending on which flower was used to craft it. The effect is not displayed in the tooltip, texture, etc., meaning that the player cannot tell in advance what the effect is unless they know which flower was 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. Suspicious Stew can be eaten even if the player is not hungry.

The Saturation effect effectively makes those two stews a superfood: In those 6 or 7 ticks it can restore up to 6(7) hunger and 12(14) saturation points on top of their food value, for a total of at least  hunger, and effectively maxing out saturation. Regeneration can restore up to health, poison or wither can do up to  damage.
