Food recipes ( ham and cheese sandwich )

[Hell_March]

I was wondering if there was a recipe for ham and cheese sandwiches? I combined bread ham and cheese figuring it would make a ham and cheese sandwich only to find I end up with inedible food :( If this isnt a food recipe I think it should be one thats added to the game

unfortunately no use for ham as of now but you can create cheeseburger by (cheese + bread + vegetables + meat (pork or chicken)

I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post this, but if you craft Hot Tea with Honey as a sweetener, you get a MUCH better Hot Tea as a result.
It covers hunger, stress and thirst, all in one "meal".

As for bread, i'd combine it with meat to get a Hot Dog because it's pretty darn good for stress relief.

Chinese game, western staples might be suspiciously underrepresented.

Ham and cheese sandwiches are a lost technology that may be irrevocably lost. Maybe they can add an unlock for it in an ancient shelter or something.

Food types are a little opaque. Basically any meat you can make in town production is 'meat.' And meat you can get from hunting is 'game.' Sugar and honey are 'sweetener.' Salt and seasoning are both 'seasoning.'

Any time you can use an optional ingredient you increase the hunger and stress relief of the output. The same is true of using upgraded ingredients. Dried chicken vs chicken. Salt pork instead of pork. Canned fruit instead of fruit. I think this is true of seasoning over salt and honey over sugar but I'm not sure. That said, there are some high-end recipes which can easily obviate hunger and stress once you have a town dedicated to the production of the ingredients for one or two of them. Cappuccino, in particular, also seems to reduce fatigue and might as well be cheating. Here are the recipes I use primarily:

Hot Dog: Meat, Bread, Vegetables (Optional), Seasoning (Optional).
Cappuccino: Coffee, Water, Milk, Sweetener (Optional).
Empanada: Flour, Egg, Meat, Seasoning (Optional).
Egg tart: Egg, flour, milk, sweetener (I think?)

Some lower end ones for the early game:

Game with fried mushrooms: Game, mushrooms, seasoning (optional).
Game stew: Game, vegetables, water, seasoning (optional).
Fruit platter: Fruit, vegetables (optional).
Rations: You can cook them. No, really. Just throw a ration on the stove. Improves hunger restoration and makes them not stress out your truckers. You can probably season them, too, but I discovered this well after it would have been a useful recipe for me.

Hope that helps.

I don't eat solid blocks of cheese in real life and I find it weird that there's no ham 'n cheese sandwhich.

I was a teenager, the first time that I tried pizza ( I only like mozerella and more recently, I discovered swiss cheese goes well in a steak sandwhich ).

Seems cheese is mostly used to make cream soups, which have an ok value, and cheeseburgers which are good food, but better sold than eaten.

Only in the postapocalyptic dustland can you sell a pair of burgers for one thousand scrap.
