Despite what you say, meaty stew is actually more efficient vs. meatballs; I even did the calculations!

By minimum, meatballs require a morsel & 3 filler, while meaty stew requires a minimum of 2 meat, 1 monster meat, & 1 filler. If we were to compare the two dishes by their minimum (which gives meatballs its best advantage), meaty stew fills you up more than meatballs by 31.25 points. Even if meatballs were more efficient, they would still require 3 times the filler than meaty stew!

Now, you might ask "Okay, but how on Earth can I get 2 meat in the first few days I start it up?". Well, I don't know. Catcoons are the best early source of meat, but they only spawn in deciduous forests.
