The category exists to denote which foods have the faster eating animation, safe to eat for Wurt, Merms, Beefalos and cannot be consumed by Wigfrid and caged birds. However, the name of the category implies vegetable ingredients, which is very misleading and 1/3rd of the listed recipes cannot be made with Vegetables- they will turn to ratatouille (Banana Pop, Melonsicle, Ice Cream, Trail Mix, Fruit Medley, Fistful of Jam). Furthermore, some other dishes like Waffles, Pumpkin Cookies, Butter Muffin and Powdercake hardly warrant the description "veggie". It also promotes a false notion that there are barely any filling vegetable recipes, as recipes such as Beefy Greens and Barnacle Linguini are by all means vegetable driven and there are so many further hybrit recipes that require veggies in them that are categorized under "meats".

Finally, I believe the "other" category also warrants some rearranging. For the time being it doesn't stand for much besides 'dishes that don't use meats, vegetables and fruits in their recipe'. I believe making it the category of Goodies (dishes both vegetarian and carnivorous entities can eat) + unusually behaving dishes would make the most sense and iirc, the only dish in the category that doesn't go along with categorizing is the Soothing Tea. It should be moved to the vegetarian dishes page as it cannot be consumed by Wigfrid and other carnivorous entities, just like Ice Cream.

The reason these foods are categorized as veggie is just because that is what their food type is called internally, same goes for all the other categories including the leafy meat dishes. I've been a tiny bit bothered by this for years as there's so many foods that don't really exclusively belong in one single category in my eyes but because of how food types work, they are stuck to just a single one usually (at least functionally, foods can technically have two food types but in a lot of examples this would not matter since certain food types would be more relevant when checked for than others, such as meat).

One thing to take note of is that the food type of something is not equal to a food's ingredient value. Food types are used to determine which foods can be eaten by who/what entity while ingredient values are used by the crockpot exclusively. There is a lot of terminology overlap between the two and it gets really confusing really quickly as a result.

In my opinion categorizing foods that require veggies but have meats under just meats is fine, as it would be weird to consider them veggie just based off of them also requiring veggies since at that point this would apply to a lot of meat recipes and would be even more confusing than the whole system already is. The reason I bring this up is because the cookbook categorizes the foods based on their foodtypes and aren't, at least to my knowledge, manually put in categories.

One thing I do agree on though is that the other category should be tweaked up a bit. Not that it should be removed entirely, that would be a bit much in my eyes, especially because we have recipes that wouldn't make any sense to categorize as anything really. The other category in my opinion fits most for dishes that could as well have different food types that players actually get affected by and are not most common amongst foods as a whole. And in a way it already is that, the other category sums up goodies and generic/edible foods as well as ones without a foodtype, which is what soothing tea and wet goop would fall into.

All the more confusing to me is that buttermuffin, ice cream, soothing tea and pumpkin cookies aren't goodies and that everything leafy meat related is strictly just meat. You can probably see the case for buttermuffin, ice cream, soothing tea and pumpkin cookies as those would be believable to be goodies, leafy meat though I admit is probably just because it annoys me how leafy meat is pretending to be a vegetarian meat substitute but then acts just identical as meat with everyone commenting on how weird and unheard of it is that this is plant based meat. (Also because I don't know where else to put this, barnacles are arthropods, and as such animals. This is why I feel that their dishes being categorized as meat makes sense.)

Also I would tend to agree, but I think the point of the mushcake being a goodie was so that Wigfrid can also benefit from it without needing to make a second dish that is meat based and does the same thing.

I mean I always think it's nice to have as many options as possible as any character. So I get why they wanted Wigfrid not to be locked out of the benefits of it entirely (like for example with nettles in Hamlet, which resulted in Wigfrid being really awkward to play during Lush season there).

If we would have more dishes that keep you awake, if the mushy cake would prevent grogginess altogether, if avoiding high enlightenment wasn't tied to staying at low sanity or if the ingredients wouldn't be so extremely specific (and also replantable), maybe that effect of the mushy cake would be something to seek out more than it is now.
As it currently stands its effect is only doing half of what would make a sleep preventing food useful in my opinion (unless you eat another mushy cake when you're already groggy, but chances are you're not only gonna get groggy again but you might even fall asleep before even being able to purge the grogginess), the only food giving you the effect is too complicated to utilize reliably and keeping your sanity low through other means (such as with one of the ingredients of the mushy cake) already provides a safer method of preventing gestalts from attacking you, with the cost of potentially having to restore your sanity afterwards, which is actually easier than lowering your sanity in the first place.

One of the major mechanics in Don't Starve Together is, of course, to not starve. Avoiding starvation can be done by consuming food items that fill the hunger meter. When Don't Starve players first start the game, they will find basic resources like Berries and Carrots, but as you progress and have more things to do, it's crucial to make an effective food source that restores plenty of stats without wasting too much time or resources.

Upgrading the survivors' diet can be done by building a structure called Crock Pot in Don't Starve Together. Crock Pot can be used to process several ingredients into a cooked dish, but this can only be done if players place the suitable materials together. For that, it's crucial to know Crock Pot recipes in Don't Starve Together.

To use the Crock Pot in Don't Starve Together, players simply have to drag the ingredients they wish to use to the Crock Pot, then press Cook to start processing the dish. The four slotsmust all be filled while using the Crock Pot, so oftentimes, players will play around with filler ingredients.

To read Crock Pot recipes in Don't Starve Together, players must first understand that each ingredient has a certain food value. Knowing these values is crucial to properly making Crock Pot dishes, so here's an explanation of the concept:

Poor Man's Soup is great budget-friendly meal that is full of hearty, satisfying flavors. Made with common pantry ingredients, it comes together easily and turns out perfect whether you use the stove top or slow cooker. It's the cheap soup recipe you'll want to make again and again!

Here's my take on stockpiling: If it is something that you will truly use - get it and save it, but only the amount you will actually use in a reasonable timeframe. If it is something that you can get for pennies that you probably won't use - get it and donate it.

But, here is where it really counts (in my opinion) when it comes to saving money at the grocery store: Buy produce that is in season and on sale. Get store circulars and buy meat, dairy, and other items when they are on sale.

And here is another thing - take note of how much you waste. We've all done it from time to time, whether it is produce we buy with the best of intentions or the leftovers we think we're going to eat, but don't.

Pair this delicious dish up with Copycat Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread, Copycat Olive Garden Bread Sticks, Italian Chopped Salad, or finish your meal off with our budget friendly and somewhat healthy Fruit and Berry Kabobs with Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce.

Soup is comfort food at its finest, and if you've scrolled around All She Cooks for any length of time, you probably know that I love comfort food. If you take a look at our most popular recipes, they are all comfort foods. Pure and simple.

I don't make Poor Man's Soup nearly as often as I used to, but I love how easily I can pull a meal together with ingredients I have on hand. No need to run to the store for this recipe. If you don't have one of the ingredients listed in the ingredients list, don't be afraid to try something else.

Adding a new ingredient can add both flavor and texture to a dish, making it something completely new! One of our readers tried this recipe and commented that they added kielbasa sausage and some different seasonings to the soup. I LOVE that - don't be afraid to experiment with variations.

If you want to get an idea of possible variations to try, check out the comment section to see what other people have tried. If you'd added something to this soup that you think is amazing - share it with us in the comments!

Seriously. Once you learn how to make soup from scratch, you will not want to go back to serving soup from a can ever again. We're talking about super fresh flavor, amazing ingredients, and the ability to seriously cater to your own tastes.

Toss all of the ingredients into your slow cooker, after you've browned the meat and let it cook up all day long. You'll be amazed at how delicious and filling a bowl of inexpensive ingredients can be.
