Dishes that provide a little bit of health are known as simple dishes, but dishes that provide even more health and vitality are known as elegant dishes. You can earn, collect loot, or buy Elegant Platter recipes like mushrooms and meat curries, but to cook them you'll have to go out and find coarsely chopped meat.
Here are the creatures you should pay attention to in No Rest for the Wickedif you want rough meat.
Locations with rough meat in No Rest for the Wicked
Rats are the most common source of rough meat в No Rest for the Wicked, especially in the early stages. One of the first areas you'll explore is Navigator's Keep, and there are plenty of rats around that you can kill in one hit, and they almost always drop coarse meat.
Fortress Marinera is also where you will first try mushroom and meat curries; if you don't find it in the chest, you can buy it from Fillmore after you rescue him.
If you have an extra coin, you can also buy coarsely chopped meat directly from Gordon, the cook in Sacremente and the innkeeper's husband. But in order to buy from Gordon, you need to rescue him first with the quest "The Innkeeper's Husband". Once he has been rescued and returned safely to Sacrement, he becomes a merchant at the entrance to the city, and you can buy a seemingly unlimited amount of rough meat from him for just 16 coppers apiece.
Gordon also sells three early game recipes and all the ingredients you might need for those recipes. He also sells ready-made simple dishes such as crab chowder and mushroom soup.
