Can anyone think of a food setup that beats this?

I personally find that golems and wheat farms aren't the best. Since wheat has a small chance to produce 0 seeds, a golem won't always have something to replant, so you have to manually replant the wheat. If you leave it running long enough, you will end up with a wheat farm and no wheat. Most of the other crops have a guaranteed drop of at least one seed, so golem farming isn't an issue.

As far as my favorite food, it often ends up being carrots.

(potatoes are a close second)

Just have two straw golems. Since the wheat can drop multiple seeds your holes should self correct over the long haul. You will still have holes in the fields but they get replanted by the tag team sooner or later.

I have a honeyed slice factory for my food.

Personally, I still like Steak. Of all the vanilla meats, it's the one which gives you the most hunger and saturation, plus it nets you extra leather, a nice plus for those using Mystcraft.

who the hell ever needs to heal 10 hearts of hunger all at once..?

Bread -> canning machine is my preferred. They only restore 1 hunger point but I'm quite OCPD about it and will eat as soon as the first point goes away and they give bread an extra 3.6(IIRC) points of saturation.

why not just can zombie meat instead?

Someone that doesn't mind not being able to sprint, or was just bashing an xp drop trap and did not notice they were starving?

It gives negative effects now IIRC.

 

[Lambert2191]

oh, didn't know that.. sorta nerfs the only reason I'd ever use a canner for food

Can anyone think of something better? I'm pretty sure this is about as good as it gets.

As stated, a few potatoes being manually harvested and cooked are a great deal easier to do, especially as you don't even need to find a village if you punch enough zombies in the face. It's pretty easy to automate a potato farm without needing to go through the massive ThaumCraft research system, nor track down a few hundred witches (the anvil "method" is an exploit, and one that should not be used for that obvious reason).

I throw my empty cans into my enderpouch and they reappear refilled about 30 seconds later (once I've thrown 4 in, that is)

 

[OmegaJasam]

I usualy use looting + steak from a Sword Of Xepher (Since I have a feeding thing in ym cow pen, and the sword kills multiple at one for multiple meats)
Lasts so Long I never get around to automated food. (I now have the auto-feeder, it's been a while since I manualy ate)

On wheat farms with golems, wheat averages more then 1 seed per plot, so over time you will actaully gain a surplus of seeds. One strae golem is all you need as holes are replated by it next time it is agacent to it and 2 seeds drop.

Well for bread adding 3.6 saturation and half a heart per bread is good enough for me. Not to mention bread is ridiculously easy to come by with a skele shard(Google fully auto wheat farm).

I eat potatoes like i was the only survivor of the Irish famine. stack of 64 of them lasts me for real-world days, plus they're easy as hell to get.

yeah I've seen them, pretty decent and speedy to do. I still prefer golem farms though

Mps auto feeder with golem farm.

It just dawned on me that you can use an emperor's chalice as infinite food. Just use it to create an infinite water source, which you can use to refill the chalice as you drink from it.

Anyhow, why do things the easy way when you can do it the hard way?

Totally agree there. I made a HUGE wheat farm with golems out of boredom. I didn't plant much of it at all, just hoe'd it, the golems expanded it for me, took some time, but I now have thousands upon thousands of seeds. (It's been running for quite a while.)

In that case, you're going to want a cake factory.
