Food Skills
Ingredient Activated Skills
While you can select which skill you want, they only have a certain probability to be activated. The more fresh ingredients are used, the higher are the odds skills will activate. (Red Stars) Vouchers and Gourmet Vouchers can guarantee food skills for you and everyone in your session.
Additionally, each type of food will grant bonus combat stats:
- Meats increase Attack (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Fish increase Defense (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Vegetables increase Elemental Resistance (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Alcohols increase nothing.
Attack and defense boost obtained from size of boost:
- S=+5
- M=+10
- L=+15
For a list of ingredients in each category and how to obtain them, see the Canteen page.

Missing Felyne Carver (Lo) that occasionally gives you an extra carve

I’m not sure what is meant by “they will override daily skills from top to bottom.” Whether this means top-to-bottom on the daily skills list, or the list on this page. Either way, it’s inaccurate. I’ve had my third and first daily skills be my remaining skill numerous times.

Missing Felyne Foodie - On death, food effects stay, such as food buffs (including Felyne Foodie itself), health and stamina boosts, and attack/defense/elemental res.

For Booster, I think the temporary increase in attack and defense is obtained every time you eat - not just at start of quest.
Other daily skills I have seen - and what I think it means
Riser (Lo)
Carver(Lo)
Foodie = Food skills remain in effect for entire quest even if you faint
Dungmaster = Easier to chase away monsters with dung pods
Lander = No hand touch to ground after jumping from a high point. Can just move immediately
Fisher = Easier fishing (I think just mechanics of fishing - like obvious, longer bite and quicker landing of big fish. Does not seem to have any effect on type of fish encountered)
Weathercat = More likely to have bad weather at start of quest
Sprinter = reduces stamina consumption when running away from monsters (only large monsters?)
Insurance = Rewards only reduced by first faint of any member of the party.
Weakener (?) [Not sure about this name] = More likely to have weak large monsters appear

These guys on reddit have alot of stuff to help update and they are still working on it! (Especally food) They have a spreadsheet you can check out:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/7v1unk/mhw_canteen_food_list_need_help/
This site has about the same things but there are differences that you wiki guys could use:

What's the difference between fresh and "Guest" ingredients?
