The crawl dudes made lots of really cool fruits and stuff once upon a time
Then food got removed for reasons of hunger not adding much to the fun factor of the game
but while it’s hard to get worked up about nine steaks or thirteen breads, sometimes a guy just misses having a lychee and four bananas and 22 sultanas and 2 apricots and 8 grapes cluttering up their inventory
Super important alternate proposal: Take all the potions (palette swap liquid in glass bottles, like sodas except magical effects) and replace them with potion fruits
Using the little icons in the tiles set to show the effects and have said fruit differ in what potion they represent each game
imagine a world with plantains of might, chokos of degeneration, apples of experience
Then suddenly you die and roll up a new character, and the plantains give you resistance and the degeneration is in oranges because screw you florida or something
it’ll contain all the fun of collecting fruits 
with all the practicality that potions normally have in the game 
I for one long for a world in which my TeCj can get out of a frisky tango with a pack of death yaks, shove three lemons and a strawberry down his throat and immediately start throwing out conjurations again like it’s nobody’s business
it’s like three healing potions and a mana potion except so much brighter and tastier
Please
