Only on TC currently. Suppose to go live tomorrow.
I think the key to this one maybe a flavor additive. The fillings just don't do enough and even a 1k ham boost isn't useful for the short time. A simple 500 boost for say 20 minutes may do very well. Long enough to get stuff done and yet enough of a boost to make it worth while. 500HAM is nothing to turn away from. Not as nice as 1k HAM, but with it being so short lived, there isn't much you can do in that time. One mission maybe?

Well, I made some Vercupti now that we can use it:
I got (+430 HAM/6m48s/q1/61fill) - doesn't seem that good at all.
What Heavy should I use? Decrease Fill? The lowest decrease at 25% , would give me 45 fill. Still just doesnt seem worth it to me. The +430 is fine, but the low time combined with low quantity and high fill - makes it a bad food product IMHO.

This is my pet peeve with a majority of the master level food/drinks.. they simply don't cut it in terms of actual usability. The duration compared to the filling is rediculous for the buff amount. The only master level food I make is thakatillo and flameout.

I collected some very high quality Insect meat last week, so I'm going to try some of this out tonight or tomorrow when the experimentation changes have been reverted.
I was thinking of possibly using a Heavy Nutrition additive & then experimenting the filling down. Not sure how well that would work, I'll report back here when I've played with it a little.

I dont know why you dont listen the first time. I said it before and will say it again ....This is no more than a bone, table scraps. Garbage food with an absurd duration to filling ratio. Lousy item, waste of time get it? do you understand? knock knock, anyone home?
The only decent stat foods are ahrisa and scrimpi for focus and quick and have limited use potential. In pvp you need room for thaktillo, synthsteak, vagnerian, ithorian mist. For pve scrimp and ahrisa may be good.
We need a decent health stat food with a decent duration/filling ratio

I made some +1219 Health/Action/Mind Vercupti tonight. Lasts just over 7 minutes with a filling of 64. I think these would be very useful in many situations.

Since we're on the topic, BOH is just as borked. I made a +1008 for like 8 or 9mins with a 67-ish fill and 3stk (that's with casks). How good can that be?

Yeah Boh is busted. The quantity doesn't work.

+375-600 Health, Action, Mind (pets only)
Does it work on people? I have never made it but I was just curious, it seems like everyone is talking about it as if it was useableas apc buff.
It was changed with the patch for use on people

Anyone come across this food?
It gives you about 900 to Health, Action and Mind for 7 minutes...hmm...sounds a bit like a pixie without a downer...You know why don't they just replace all the spices with food and take spices away from us, replace it with something even more useless...I've also come to the conclusion that slicing should really be the job of weapon or armorsmiths, so I think they should move slicing to those professions...and then all they need to do is give faction selling to someone like...jedi, who really need more things...that way we can be completely useless...I'm sick and tired of being only half-useless.
...sorry, just had to vent...

Yup, welcome to the class of long-forgetten Smugglers. 
Chef buffs replaced our spice a long time ago. Spice now is only good if you want a quick mind boost to get your helmet on, and even now you can simply get a mind buff from an entertainer that last long and have no downer. Slicing is about the only thing we have left... and even that sucks. Slicing gets old really fast; but it's the only thing we can do.

I know, I've been a smuggler for more than a year now, I just hadn't seen this one yet, and can't get over how much we get nerfed and once in a while I have to vent...
