Herb Roasted Lamball
Food · FoodDishMeat1★A generous pile of fresh berries throws off an aroma that plays up mutton's distinct flavor. Grants +10% Defense for a time.

Where to Find Herb Roasted Lamball
Herb Roasted Lamball is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
The Campfire cannot cook this one. You need the Cooking Pot, unlocked at Technology level 17, or one of the later stations that replaces it: the Electric Kitchen (level 41), the Large-Scale Stone Oven (level 49), or the Ancient Kitchen (level 70). Until then the Lamball Mutton you farm is better eaten plain.
A food-obsessed visitor NPC at your base can hand these over as a gift in stacks of 3 to 10, which beats cooking them one at a time if you are not already breeding Lamball for mutton.
Using Herb Roasted Lamball Well
The +10% Defense buff runs for 10 minutes, which is long enough to cover a whole tower boss attempt or a raid on a fortified camp. Eat it before you leave the base rather than mid-fight, since chewing through a dish while a boss is swinging wastes part of the window.
Marinated Mushrooms grants the identical +10% Defense for the same 10 minutes and costs no meat, so save the mutton dish for when you also want the larger hunger refill (94) and the sanity it restores.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Venison Boiled In Tomato at 100 hunger restored; step down and it is Chikipi Sauté at 92. How far apart those two sit tells you whether to spend now or keep what you have.
