## Notes we already publish

- (use) "Slightly" undersells it. The buff is +30% work speed for a flat 10 minutes, with nothing else attached — no hunger-drain cut, no defence line, no experience bonus. That is the same speed figure a Pizza gives, off two farmed vegetables instead of flour, milk and berries.
- (use) It is a Cooking Pot dish, so a Campfire will not take it — the pot unlocks at technology level 17 for 2 points and needs no electricity. The later kitchens cook it too: Electric Kitchen (level 41), Large-Scale Stone Oven (level 49) and Ancient Kitchen (level 70). There is no separate recipe unlock to buy; building the station is the whole gate.
- (strategy) Cooking one costs 4,000 work — an eighth of what a [[item:Pizza]] takes and the cheapest route to a work-speed buff in the game. Both ingredients grow on a plantation, so a base with [[item:Lettuce]] and [[item:Tomato]] beds running turns out buffs indefinitely with nobody leaving to hunt. If you want more than +30%, every stronger option ([[item:Minestrone]] at +40%, [[item:Chowder]] and [[item:Hamburger_2]] at +50%) starts costing meat.
- (use) One of the wandering food-request NPCs asks for a single Salad and pays out [[item:LuxuryMedicines]] for it. That reward is worth 3,120 gold against the 320 gold of vegetables in the plate, and it is the tier of medicine that clears the nastier status ailments — worth keeping a couple of Salads in the bag whenever you pass a settlement.
