Actually I was sort of thinking the same thing myself. Piros having DEX makes them the be-all end-all CON food. I can't think of a single reason* I'd really want to make a cow sausage or an apple pie now when I could just find some chanterelles, use my huge crop of onions, and have an equal chance to get a hard to get stat when I'm raising my CON. If I'm right here and piros are just the ideal food for both DEX and CON that seems wrong. (Please do argue otherwise if I'm overlooking something).
*beyond my DEX being higher than my CON, of course, but hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
On the other hand, CON is otherwise hilariously lopsided in the favor of beef and other high-end foods. Newbies aren't going to be frying eggs, making cheese (and intentionally botching it for gouda), or hunting/taming aurochs for their meat (much less their sausage!) And as the final kick, apple pies require butter. I suppose it could be argued that CON is a stat for the middle-and-higher tiers, and that four-leaf clovers and milk aren't that hard to acquire, but eh.
I think something like this should probably wait for either a complete rebalance or another food update to fill in the rough spots, though.
