Guild Wars 2

Why can’t I eat an apple unless I first sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on it?
Why can’t I eat a banana unless I first dip it in chocolate?

In the grand scheme of things, this “issue” is about as trivial as it gets. But I don’t like that fruit in its natural form is inedible.

We can’t very well be scurvy pirates if we’re eating fruit all the time.

I find it pretty silly as well – but then that would be a bit annoying to sort out, and you’d get cries of
“I can eat apples, but why can’t I eat butter or cloves? I could eat them in real life if I wanted to,” even though it’s not common to snack on bricks of butter, or cloves, or cumin, or piles of salt.
So should all base-ingredients be edible, or not? Because many of them don’t make sense to eat by themselves, but I just know that there will be people who complain about it.

Personally, though, I would like nothing more than to have the irl-edible cooking ingredients be consumable (give them the basic +10 Experience From Kills that all foods have)…might free up some of my bank space from when I accidentally bought too many bananas.
