Super Meal is a hearty plate of three Fall vegetables: Bok Choy, Cranberries and an Artichoke. Kent mails the recipe once the farmer reaches seven hearts with him. Kent only arrives in town in the second year, so this is a late recipe. The meal raises maximum energy and Speed for a short time, a quick boost before a heavy burst of work. It sells for less than its ingredients, but Harvey, the town doctor, loves it.

The in-game description reads: It's a really energizing meal.


Recipe


Kent sends the Super Meal recipe by mail after the farmer reaches seven hearts of friendship with him. Kent spends the first year away in the army and returns to Pelican Town at the start of the second year. Friendship with him can only begin then.

Cooking Bok Choy with Cranberries and an Artichoke makes Super Meal.

All three are Fall crops, so the meal is easiest to cook in Fall. Pierre's General Store sells Bok Choy Seeds and Cranberry Seeds in Fall. Bok Choy is ready in just a few days. Cranberry plants keep producing two berries every few days after their first harvest.

The Artichoke takes more patience. Pierre only stocks Artichoke Seeds from the second year onwards. In the first year, an Artichoke can come from Mixed Seeds, and a Seed Maker turns it into more seeds. By the time Kent is home, the seeds are on sale anyway.

Stored in a chest, a Fall harvest can supply Super Meals through the rest of the year.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects


Super Meal restores a fair amount of energy and health. It also raises maximum energy and Speed for a short time.

The extra maximum energy gives more room for tool use before the farmer tires. The Speed buff makes the farmer move faster. The buffs are short, so the meal works best eaten right before a burst of heavy work.

Just one food buff runs at a time, and eating a different buffed dish swaps out both bonuses.

Prices


Super Meal sells for much less than its three vegetables would fetch raw. The Artichoke alone is worth most of the meal's price. Cooking it to sell loses money. Its value lies in the buffs and in Harvey's friendship.

Gifts


Harvey loves Super Meal. A loved gift gives almost twice the friendship of a liked one. His birthday falls in Winter, when a gift counts eight times over. A meal cooked from the Fall harvest can wait in a chest until that day.

Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent and the Wizard like it.

Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it.

These villagers love receiving Super Meal as a gift.

Notes


Super Meal can also be bought or found. The shop in the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island sometimes stocks it. Treasure rooms in the Skull Cavern can hold a small stack. On the Beach Farm, Supply Crates can contain one or two. On Saturdays Krobus may stock it, and the Stardrop Saloon offers it from time to time. One can also be found in the Garbage Can outside the Saloon or in a Mystery Box.

In tailoring, Super Meal in the Sewing Machine makes the Green Flannel Shirt. It also fills the green dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
