Food Effects
Eating food restores your stamina! The amount of stamina that is recovered by eating entrées is particularly high. However, if you eat an entrée first, you'll become full and won't be able to eat any other dishes. So eat a salad dish first, which raises your maximum stamina, and then have drinks, soup dishes, and finally an entrée, in order like a full course meal! Dessert dishes recover a small amount of stamina, but they can be eaten even on a full stomach, so leave them for last.
