Root Campfire Stew
A thick stew chock-full of meat and charred vegetables. A surprisingly good combination.
Notes
Root Campfire Stew is a filling, mid-tier campfire meal that provides 1,100 calories and a notable amount of fat and carbohydrates, though its overall nutrient profile is unbalanced. It fits early-to-mid game as a hearty, easily produced food that helps keep you fed, but eating it alone will not yield the maximum skill-point bonus from balanced nutrition. For the best XP gain, pair it with foods rich in protein and vitamins to even out the four nutrient groups.
