Use of sink food before eating other meals in a kitchen is vital to sustaining the power of cooking recipes that we use instead of having them decrease as they are used. When properly designed it will also increase the potency of all other ingredients and thus the amount of stats and duration of all other recipes.

The basic idea is that you cook a specific meal and eat that shortly before eating the actual meal you wish to eat. Once you eat a meal, the next meal you eat for either 7 minutes or that meal's duration (whichever is longer, so always at least 7 minutes) will not count as being eaten. It is best to have one kitchen for sink food and another with the real meal so you can have both already prepared. You can then just eat from the sink kitchen and move to the other kitchen and eat the other meal quickly.

For Tale 11 the sink meal is 48 Garlic, 1 Onions. Use at least 48 Garlic even if you only need one serving of food. If you need more than 7 servings increase the Garlic by 7 per additional serving rather than adding more onions.

If you do your part in always using sink food before eating meals, even when from a freezer or a preserved meal, our recipes should stay powerful and increase slowly over time.

Additionally, during the early days of the tale there are steps we can take to jump start the buildup of potencies and thus the power of ingredients (sinkfest). There are a few different things needed to get the process going and if things go well should greatly speed up the whole process.

We are currently on Stage 1

Stage 1

During this stage you should eat 48 Garlic 1 Eggplants as much as possible. If you are going to eat other food, eating this food right before hand (as sink food). If you do not have Eggplants and you need to use sink food, use 48 Garlic 1 Carrot Juice instead.

If you do not have Eggplants try asking around in your house. We have reproduced and given out hundreds of seeds so you should be able to find some that will give you one or at least has some Eggplants.

The process is:

• Cook a meal of 48 Garlic, 1 Eggplant
• Eat one serving
• Clean out the cook pot
  • You should either not get a message in main or one that says "You considered the dish for a moment, before moving on."
  • If it says "No one enjoyed this meal" you did not wait 7 minutes since your last meal or however long that meal's duration was
• Wait 7 minutes
• Repeat

If you have multiple people eating you should still clean out the cook pot after each one eats.

Stage 2

This is basically the same as stage 1, but the recipes are different. Now any of these should be eaten:

• 48 Garlic 1 Horned Pigfish Meat
• 48 Garlic 1 Dark Radish
• 48 Garlic 1 Nile Fire Mushrooms
• 48 Garlic 1 Carrion Mushrooms
• 48 Garlic 1 Carrot Juice
• 48 Garlic 1 Eggplant

• Cook one of those meals
• Eat one serving
• Clean out the cook pot
  • You should either not get a message in main or one that says "You considered the dish for a moment, before moving on."
  • If it says "No one enjoyed this meal" you did not wait 7 minutes since your last meal or however long that meal's duration was
• Wait 7 minutes or if the meal you are eating is longer than 7 minutes, until the stats wear off
• Repeat

If you have multiple people eating you should still clean out the cook pot after each one eats.

Stage 3

As this point our sink food has been boosted and other things are prepared to drive up potency. You should eat 48 Garlic, 1 Onions as much as possible. After we have done so for a day or two potencies should be over 1000, probably 2000 and hopefully 4000. At that point it will still always be useful to eat more of the sink meal, but a concerted effort to do so will not be needed.

• Cook 48 Garlic, 1 Onions
• Eat one serving
• Clean out the cook pot
  • You should either not get a message in main or one that says "You considered the dish for a moment, before moving on."
  • If it says "No one enjoyed this meal" you did not wait 7 minutes since your last meal or however long that meal's duration was
• Wait until the stats wear off
• Repeat

Stage 4

Just eat 48 Garlic, 1 Onions before you eat any other meal normally. If you want to increase potencies more continue eating like stage 3 if you want.
