Early Game Food Combos

Most Efficient Food Combo

Early Game

Once you are able to get a Cauldron and defeat some Draugrs, the most efficient Food Combo would include the Sausages.

Sausages are very easy to make since you can get multiple Entrails from Draugrs while Raw Meat and Thistle can be easily stockpiled by hunting and foraging.

Total: +142 HP / +95 Stamina
Sausages	60 Health	40 Stamina
	Recipe: 2 Entrails, 1 Raw Meat, 4 Thistle
Cooked Fish	45 Health	25 Stamina
	Requires Raw Fish cooked on a Cooking Station.
Cooked Meat	40 Health	30 Stamina
	Requires Raw Meat cooked on a Cooking Station.

Mid to Late Game

The most efficient food combo mid to late game will become available once you are able to hunt Loxs and Serpents.

When you are able to hunt both enemies, you simple just have to cook their meats on a Cooking Station and make Sausages from the Cauldron to have the most efficient food combo in the game.

This food combo can rival the other best food combos for increasing your max HP or stamina because it only requires the raw meats and a few entrails and thistle.

Total: +200 HP / +120 Stamina
Cooked Lox Meat	70 Health	40 Stamina
	Requires Lox Meat cooked on a Cooking Station.
Cooked Serpent Meat	70 Health	40 Stamina
	Requires Serpent Meat cooked on a Cooking Station.
Sausages	60 Health	40 Stamina
	Recipe: 2 Entrails, 1 Raw Meat, 4 Thistle
