Hunting provides valuable meat sources, but comes with the risk of combat. Balance your food gathering between foraging, farming, and hunting based on your current needs and available resources.
Vegetarian Challenge: If attempting vegetarian badges, avoid all meat-based foods including morsels, steaks, ribs, and any stews containing meat ingredients.
