Meats are easy and the best food in game.

With only a little work you can set up 4 5x10 beds and keep a cycle of 150 carrots or turnips going non-stop. Throw in a boar or wolf farm for the meat and you have more turnip stew then you’ll ever need, and with just a bit of hunting for shrooms carrot soup as well. Great combo for sustainable health and stamina while exploring or building.
