Minecraft wiki entry for Quick_ways_to_get_food, associated text: There are several food items that can be gathered from the landscape with varying degrees of ease. Which of these are available will depend on the biomes you pass through. Note that except for mushroom stew, these are not very good foods, filling your hunger bar but offering little saturation to back it up. That said, they'll keep you from starvation until you can find something better.
