You know what food does, outside of things like Heroes' Feast which is a spell, in my campaign? It gives you a full belly.. that's it. Good Berries give 1HP if eaten and I do allow my players to scum these a bit. General food however is just that. There is no reason eating a leg of pork should give you 5-12 HP back. Food is also so abundant, and you can eat it as a bonus action, that you don't even need to think about having a healer in your party in BG3 right now. Also potions.. so many healing potions. I think it all needs to be toned back quite a bit.
You know what, I find the sausages and pork roasts inside the temple to be the greatest treasure in the place. Everything else get sold or eaten by Gale, but the food, nope I keep that. It's just too valuable.
I think there is a lot of healing potions because of the surfaces causing more damage. At this point, I don't understand why they didn't double the character HP like they did enemies to compensate. I'm pretty sure they added the physical/magical armor system to DOS2 because they couldn't control the surfaces too.
