Top 11 Dinkum Best Food
There are different ways for players to find and make food in Dinkum. The primary forms are farming, hunting, fishing, and harvesting. Some of the food can be eaten as is or raw, but they provide higher effects if it is cooked. There are two ways to cook food. One way is to cook it on a Campfire or BBQ, and the other is to cook it at the Cooking Table through cooking recipes. Cooking with the BBQ is faster than cooking with the campfire, taking half the time to cook. The recipes players gain through the Cooking Table give players even more benefits, such as higher health and energy effects, as well as special buffs to help them out during their gameplay. One note to make is that some recipes have an alternate recipe that can be created with different or higher-quality ingredients. Without further ado, these are the best food items you will want to make and eat in Dinkum.
