Baking rotten fruit into a Pie is fine. Pressing rotten fruit for juice yields rotten juice.
I’d concur that vegetables shouldn’t rot until after they’ve been foraged; that’s the point of root vegetables, that they keep fine whilst underground. Berries might better be picked off by local birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc–they’d pay attention and keep things clean! Apples wold probably be OK on-tree put they fall when ripe, so there’s that.
Request: foraging a blueberry bush auto-picks the blueberries, rather than placing them into the bush and unmarking it (so, in a classic roguelike gotcha*, if you don’t realize that you have to manually pick the berries, you can now forget where they were.) If I say Y I want to pick blueberries, they shouldn’t remain on the bush.
*To be clear: Gotchas are to be avoided. Thanks.
