📖 Froggle Bunwich: Turn Frog Rain Into Survival Feast

Instant Tips:

• Healing on a budget: That +20 HP is significant early on – eating two Bunwiches yields 40 HP, often cheaper than a Pierogi.
• Filler flexibility: You can use twigs as 2 of the fillers, effectively making a Bunwich with just one frog leg, one carrot, and 2 twigs.
• No monster meat! Don't add more than 1 Monster Meat to this recipe – 2 monster meats will turn any dish into Monster Lasagna.
• Meat category: Because it's tagged as "Meat" food, Wigfrid (who refuses non-meat) can safely eat Froggle Bunwich.
• When to cook: Ideally, cook Froggle Bunwich when you have excess Frog Legs and need HP more than max hunger.

1. Hunt or Gather a Frog Leg

   You'll need at least 1× Frog Legs as the critical ingredient. Frogs spawn near ponds (mostly in spring) or during Frog Rain events. Each frog drops 1 frog leg (100% drop rate).

   Tip: Frogs stun-lock by tongue-attacking repeatedly; consider luring them into traps – a single trap can catch a frog easily, avoiding combat entirely.

2. Find a Vegetable (0.5+ value)

   The recipe needs at least 0.5 value of "Vegetables" in the pot:

   • Any Veggie or Mushroom will do. A Carrot is perfect (value 1 veg).
   • A Cactus Flesh, Corn, Pumpkin, etc. all work (value 1).
   • Even a Red Cap mushroom (value 0.5) counts in DST.
   Warning: Do NOT use 2 Monster Fruits (Durians) here – too much monster filler will yield Monster Lasagna.

3. Choose Two Fillers

   After adding 1 frog leg and 1 vegetable, you have 2 slots left for "fillers." Froggle Bunwich is pretty flexible with fillers:

   Pro Tip: Twigs are strongly recommended – They count as "inedible" filler. Using 2 twigs as fillers is ideal if resources are scarce.
   Important: Use two (2) twigs, not one. Using one twig will match the Kabobs recipe (meat + 1 twig + other fillers) and you'll end up with Kabobs instead.

4. Cook in the Crock Pot

   Add your 4 ingredients into a Crock Pot. The combination should be:

   1 Frog Legs + 1 Vegetable + 2 Fillers (e.g., twigs)

   Now close the pot and start cooking. It takes 40 seconds of cook time (in game) to finish.

5. Serve or Store

   Once cooked, you have a few options:

   • Eat it immediately if you need the health/hunger (+20 health, +37.5 hunger, +5 sanity).
   • Refrigerate it (Ice Box) to extend shelf life to ~37.5 days.
   • Bundle it if you have Bundling Wrap to pause spoilage indefinitely.
   • Stack it: Froggle Bunwich stacks up to 40 in one inventory slot.
