Lamball MuttonWhere to Find Lamball Kebab
Lamball Kebab is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Using Lamball Kebab Well
Every cooking station takes this recipe — Campfire, Cooking Pot, Electric Kitchen, Large-Scale Stone Oven and Ancient Kitchen — and the Campfire is Technology level 2 for 1 point and 10 Wood. There is no bench gate and no bonus for cooking it in a better kitchen, so a stack of Lamball Mutton is worth burning the moment you have a fire, not hoarding until the Cooking Pot at level 17.
Roasting is pure profit on the mutton. Raw Lamball Mutton restores 37 hunger; the kebab restores 52 plus 1 SAN, from one piece of meat, with no second ingredient and the same 1 weight per unit. The job is only 500 work, so a single Kindling worker clears a full stack in one shift — never eat or hand-feed Lamball meat raw.
The 1 SAN is a rounding error, so treat this as the throughput dish and nothing more. If you have greens, the same single piece of mutton goes much further: Herb Roasted Lamball adds 2 Red Berries for 94 hunger and 12 SAN, and Grilled Lamball adds 2 Lettuce for 147 hunger and 18 SAN. Both cost 7,000 work against this dish's 500 — fourteen kebab cycles for one plate. Cook kebabs to keep a base fed in bulk; cook the grilled versions deliberately for a worker whose sanity has bottomed out.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get LuxuryOmelette at 58 hunger restored; step down and it is Grilled Chikipi at 50. The size of that step is what decides whether the crafting bill is justified yet.
