An alternate way for producing pepper:
1. Harvest pepper plant before it will finish growing (like hemp)
2. Boil
3. Dry
4. Grind
Will produce red pepper instead of black pepper.
With unique buff - when you pepper food with it - food will have 100% chance to restore 1-3% (on q10) of food satiations (food's own or all satiations)
Also there must be debuff that limits eating food peppered with red pepper.
