Multi-Use Pies

Simple suggestion: Pies, when eaten as food, should have multiple uses.

Their heal values can be reduced to compensate for the increased total food value so as not to make them totally overpowered, but they ought to have multiple uses.

Why?

Because Pies are eaten in Slices!
Because pies are awesome. I would be happy to see Pies become the best food source in the game, so people would always walk around carrying a pie with them. Because pies are awesome. They are the height of cuisine, and this should be reflected in in-game general utility.

Also if pies had 8 slices (each giving a small amount of biles) then it would be easy to keep "Topped Up" on one of your stats without wasting too much food.

Fish is healthy. And since its healthy, it doesn't taste good (american thinking). So you have to take small bites because it tastes so terrible.(It probably would, i mean, its just ***** dried fish. Whole fish. There isn't even salt on that ****. They might aswell be rotten)

Basically I want Baking to be the best food-source. Pies in the old gluttony system were wonderful foods, with a different varieties being good for different biles. Pies should regain their place of honor, but since Gluttony requires diversity, the place for pies to shine is in Food itself.

Maybe a "slice" option?

You could end up with 8 pie slices where the sum of the healed values for the slices is slightly less than the heal value of the whole pie. In this way pies would be equally interesting for high-bile chars (that eat them whole) and low-bile chars (that eat slices).

It could be interesting to try with other foods too, like the sizzled slug or dry fish.
It wouldn't affect gluttony since you will still have to leave the food intact for that (it would also be a tad more intuitive in that respect).
