Longest Lasting Food?

[Leaf]

Potage is cheap, easy, sells well.

I tried dried and salted meat, still rotted and salt intensive.

I tried different types of bread, still rotted and grain intensive.

If you make a long lasting food that won't rot quickly, what is the best type you have found?

(let me make jerky! Or dried beans, pasta, something that won't rot)

Have you changed any of the settings? My impression, so far, was that nothing, not even berries, rots that quickly. It depends on where you keep those things, of course. In the food storage everything lasts the longest. And if meat grows bad, cooking it before spoiling makes its condition go up again.

Grain doesn't rot, so you could make fresh bread and gruel whenever you feel like it. Dried and salted meat does last for a long time.

Never been a big problem for me. Always wait for a new season to make food since, like Goldie wrote, it makes its condition go back up.

And with a hunting lodge producing meat and some time investment into farming and cooking, I can make quite a lot of food each day myself.

Wow I guess I have the the best cooks in the valley, the 3 even at combined exp. 7 still keep up with potage for at times 51 ppl and I hardly ever have under 15 kids begging for food everyday lol. So find the 18 year olds with the highest crafting exp. put them in a tavern for life and there ya go, of course make sure they have plenty of meat and cabbage every year to cook and they will free you up from cooking for a long time. I on the other hand once a year make a dish for everyone, fruit pies, fish tarts, every year something new, I have found that they love multigrain bread the most, within hours of putting them in the food storage they are gone. I'm telling you that there is way more to this game that ppl think, what you do today may not have an effect until 10 years down the road....peace

Multi-grain is popular, noted.

Mostly I'm looking for anything that lasts a long time, but I guess flour would work. I get tired of making potage to feed my people all the time and just want a backup source 'in case of stupidity'.
