What’s the strangest cooked dish in Stardew Valley? Perhaps, it’s the Strange Bun– a mystical yet edible item that regenerates some of your health and energy. Here’s everything you need to know about it!
Dishes like cookies, cakes, and pizzas can be a bland menu sometimes. So, if you’re looking for something distinctive and edible, you can make a Strange Bun with just a few cooking items.
Moreover, it doesn’t just have restoration effects, but it also makes an excellent addition to your profits. This guide will help you discover more about its value in Stardew Valley.
What is a Strange Bun?
It’s a cooked dish prepared in your home’s kitchen or cookout kit. But there are other ways to obtain it, including:
- Traveling Cart. Purchasing it from this bazaar costs 675g to 1125g.
- Stardrop Saloon. Their rotating stock occasionally offers this for a fee of 450g.
- Krobus’ Shop. You can randomly find it here every Saturday with a price ranging from 50g to 500g.
- Shadow Brute. There’s a 4% chance of getting this bun by slaying these monsters.
Additionally, ingesting this item revives some of your health and energy. These benefits are improved by 80% once you add the Qi Seasoning. Here’s a brief comparison of it with and without seasoning:
| Healing Effects | Without Seasoning | With Seasoning |
| Energy | +100 | +180 |
| Health | +45 | +81 |
Aside from these advantages, you can make your gameplay more thrilling by offering it to the Dark Shrine of Terrors in the Witch’s Hut. It allows monsters to lurk on your farm, saving you a trip to the Mines and Skull Cavern!
Here’s a secret: you’ll receive a ??Foroguemon?? Stature by placing it in a toy chest from Vincent’s room.
