I'm in the middle here. Regardless of the world, I usually forage until day 10, then meatballs are my go-to. Once I get established, with the exception of Hamlet, I usually have a decent supply of both monster meat and "small meats", either frogs legs or fish farms. Meatballs are still great, since it's better than just pounding berries, they cook fast, they're usually the best choice when you're dicking around at home, and they are easy to make. In DS, I usually live almost exclusively live on B&E and meatballs (and occasionally stew) after day 20, with sanity foods, taffy and green mush eliminating wasting jerky on sanity, allowing me to save it for winter and letting me easily do fine with a single crock pot and drying rack. Then one small meat (frog legs, fish or jerky) lets me make a day's worth of food for stew or B&E, requiring only monster meat in addition, and saving unharvested berrires for emergencies. In shipwrecked it's meatballs and surf 'n turf, only because I usually don't have enough gold to spare for a birdcage. But if I do, like in DS, I save meatballs for when I'm working on my home island or my fillers are losing freshness. Otherwise, Bacon and Eggs are my MVP. More efficient for filler, cook time, inventory, and spoilage. MVP, baby.

Swimming in meat? Not necessary. 2 spider dens, even baby ones, is plenty to feed me on meaty stew and bacon and eggs alone, including the monster meat needed to make eggs/werepigs.
