Best Food/Drink now?

[GLM]

before the update, Shark Dinner was the best to take with you, and just having a bunch of Goats in your raft was basically easy mode.

Now not so much, I find that cooking food regularly takes too long and too many ingredients for little gain, I usually just use Milk and Honey every once in a while, and have a stack of cooked dishes ready for when I want to to story island to salvage.

Mangonana is the biggest bang for inventory space.
Simple smoothies and coconut beats are absurdly cheap to produce en mass.
If you're watering crops by hand, that canteen of water you're carrying anyway probably qualifies as "good enough" by itself.

Best food is veggie since it's fast, cheap, and doesn't require any special ingredients from the merhant, can make a quick stack before heading out. If you have a bird or two, eggs is super abundant so egg omelet would be good to have. Catfish and Hearty are the best for their buffs.

As for drinks, the spicy smoothie is good for the stats but I find them not as thirst quenching as the regular smoothies. Coconut Beat since it's easy to grow and harvest palm trees.
