bread is the only top tier stamina that does not require killing monsters to make. But it takes a LOT of farming to produce enough of it.

in terms of unfriendly to make I put eyescream down, the frost glands are few and far between when you start eating something every 20 min.
for similar reasons serpent stew gets a thumbs down, its a lot of trouble to locate and kill even one serpent, and the few units of food from that are going to be gone in a hurry.

but you can sum it all up with 'does this food take something that is hard to get in bulk' and if the answer is yes, you make something else and keep the few units of that food (if it is really good) aside for boss fights.

right now my everyday food is fish wrap, bread, and whatever 50+ health food I have on hand, sausages etc. In the plains I use a better health food in that slot. But just out in the world, its whatever is easiest to make. I find fishing easy and plentiful, but others may hate it. 4 mountains and counting and no onion yet.
