It Lurks Below – Food Buffs

List of all currently available food buffs.

Intro

Since hovering over the available food recipes does not show you what buffs they provide (if any) I felt it would be useful to compile a list of all the currently available food buffs. Keep in mind that the feed amounts are based on a character who has unlocked all food related nodes in the survival tree.

I am not sure if player level makes a difference as well, but if it does I checked the values on a level 100 with level 95 survival skill.

All items here provide the executive chef buff.
Here are all the food items that give buffs at the time of this writing:

Advice

Never make mashed potatoes, potato seeds are hard to come by and would be much better for making mashed white which gives magic find rating vs no buff with mashed potatoes.

Burritos are a great way to stack the executive buff as well as keeping sustained. It takes black beans and tomatoes and the seeds for these drop fairly often.

For non buff food, I recommend either cooked meat, burger or tomato soup. Personally I usually compost meat but if you’re short on ingredients the burger and cooked meat provide good feed values.
