Food barrel | Peparing new foods in barrels

Food barrels could be crafted with a barrel and some wax (to seal the barrel). Now the barrel can be used to make a variety of foods since this was a complaint the item got since the beginning. Food barrels look like a lighter version of the barrel with silver metal rims and no lid.

Here are a few examples of how it would work. There could be an ingredient slot, fermenter slot and an output slot. To make something like pickles you would need to place a cucumber in the ingredient slot and an awkward potion in the fermenter slot. Then you would have to wait for the process to take place. You can tell whats going on inside without opening it by looking at the exposed top. 

Other foods that can be made are cheese with milk and netherwart, Rootbeer with sassafras root and netherwart, or Butter with milk and an awkward potion.

These foods can take a long time to make but have give decent hunger points and are quick to eat. Plus they could also sell for a lot to villagers. There are a lot of other foods that could be made that I haven't mentioned because mojang might find them inappropriate (like ya know) but maybe they might be up for it. 

The Food barrel adds a whole new system that could be expanded upon. The fermenting process requires a trip to the nether so this would be a more mid-game activity. Plus barrels full of food would be a great decoration for places like cellars.
