Don't forget that cooked food is significantly less nourishing than
uncooked. As a friend once put it, "All cooking does is make food
more dead." There's a lot to be said for going au naturale, and I'd
expect your players to notice that.

The problem with virtual rooms, which can be handled is when players
make a change to a virtual room which requires them to become
permanent, or the notice something in a virtual room and refer to it
later expecting it to be permanent.
eg:
> l
You are in a forest...(desc of forest)
> cut blaze on tree
You cut your sigil on a nearby tree.
or:
> l
You are in a forest...yada yada something about an oak tree.
...much later...
> say "Just go east in the forest until you see the Oak tree,
and then head west..."
