Egg
Food · FoodMeat0★Best fried, though plenty of recipes call for it as an ingredient. Chikipi lay them.
Egg is an early food: 17th of 18 by hunger restored, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 16 against the 180 of Broncherry Meat.
Egg feeds 12 different recipes, which is why it is worth farming past the point you think you need it.
Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack.
Where to Find Egg
1 Pal drops Egg when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
If you would rather just buy it, the cheapest seller is Caravan Shop at 200 Gold, and 3 other shops stock it too.
Hands-off option: Chikipi produces it at a Ranch, so a single assigned Pal keeps a slow supply coming in.

Step up from here and you get Meat at 18 hunger restored; step down and it is Milk at 12. The size of that step is what decides whether the crafting bill is justified yet.
