  == Description ==The highest most nutritious type of food. When eaten hot it gives more nutrition food.

Making meals can be very simple: Put [[A basic meal consists of meat]] / [[fish]] and [[potato]] / [[corn]] / [[onion]] / pumpkin (commonly referred to as ''vegetables'') or rice that you heat up in a [[frying pan]] . Do not use fish and heat it upmeat at the same time as that will only make a stew. Voila If there are no vegetables available, a they can be substituted by bread. Adding salt halves the meal's decay rate.

If there are no "vegetables" available, substitutes are possible. [[Bread]], [[cheese]], [[pumpkin]] or [[grain]]s combined with some kind of [[herb]] are common. [[Salt]] can be used instead of an herb and will also decrease Examine the decay of the meal by 50%. Other combinations are possible with lower or greater difficulties, just examine container frying pan before cooking to determine the difficulty and if whether or not it will become a meal or not. HoweverHerbs, cheese, and some other foraged and harvested items can be added for additional difficulty. Typically the meat/fish and frying pan are always requiredmore ingredients a meal has the more difficult it will be to cook.Berries added to the frypan will produce stew instead of a meal.

Meals have higher base difficulty than other cookingdishes, so beginners are at low HFC skill it is recommended to use [[stone oven]]s ovens when cooking them. If difficulty isn't an issue, any fire source can be used. Experienced cooks will sometimes use [[campfire]]s campfires or [[stone forge]]s forges to intentionally increase the difficultyand therefore their skill gain.Added difficulty:* Oven 0* Campfire 5* Forge 10

 The base [[QL]] of a meal is your [[hot food cooking]] skill, and at lower skill it will match this most of the time. As [[hot food cooking]] becomes higher, it also becomes harder and harder to maintain maximum quality. When it exceeds 70, the meal [[QL]] will drop and become more dependent on the ql of the items and the difficulty of making it (the easier the meal, the higher [[QL]] meal made).

This kind of recipe is harder than the meals listed above, but it works well (especially for heavy meals; bread and pumpkins weigh a lot).= 30 difficulty* Meat + Corn + Onion + Cheese = 32 difficulty* Meat + Corn + Rice = 33 difficulty* Meat + Potato + Rice = 33 difficulty* Meat + Pumpkin + Potato = 33 difficulty* Meat + Pumpkin + Corn = 33 difficulty* Meat + Pumpkin + [[Grain]] = 33 difficulty* Meat + Pumpkin + Corn + Potato + Onion = 39 difficulty* Meat + Corn + Onion + Cheese + Grain = 39 difficulty* Meat + Pumpkin + Corn + Potato = 40 difficulty*Always examine meal when you use onion as vegetable and any other spice herb. Sometimes it provides not meal, but stew. In such case, just take out all items from frying pan and drop them back, but in different order.Meat + Pumpkin + Corn + Rice = 40 difficulty
