Serpent stew, turnip soup and muckshakes. That's my go-to once I get a few iron and find turnips. If I want 2x health, I'll use sausages.

Gotta say, that's one of my favorite combos. Before the swamp, I'm usually running Deer stew, carrot soup and queens jam which isn't bad, but for some reason the former food combo feels like much more of an accomplishment than this one.
