Yo guys and girls! During my long and short journeys I often meet new playeres who have no idea how to develop their characters. They just devour everything they stumble upon like ants and create some abominations! If you are one of those players and don't know what to do I'm coming to rescue you!
Then the idea came to make a simple guide showcasing some "easy to acquire" (mostly) and available at different time time periods foodstuff. This guide is aimed for players who are new to the game and don't have a knowledge about food. I'm not covering food satiations in the guide since there is a really good guide made by zebratul.
If you wanna learn about FEP, Food Satiations or Variety and other bonuses make sure to check it out:

Tier 1 includes food for your first days till you're able to fight some animals and gather some metal. It's good to get a Fisherman Credo on your fighter character since you'll need it in the future and fishes give you nice early game boosts
Tier 2 begins during your 2nd-3rd week when you'll be able to fight animals, but your fields won't be big enough to make massive production of baked goods. Try to avoid eating a lot of sausages, hunt to get hides and bones, not food.
Tier 3 at this point you'll be able to tame and feed animals. Fields should be big enough for you to start gaining a lot of stats. This tier lasts longer than previous ones. Getting Gardener Credo will be really helpful with Cavebulbs at this tier
Tier 4 this tier will be the last one and you will have to judge when the food from previous tier stopped doing it's job. Keep in mind that cheese production takes a lot of time, so it's better to start making it at the end of T3 already
Some of the optional food are Sacrebeu and Pirozhki, but there are to many different types to fit them all in the guide, sorry
We had the crafter part, now it's time for the main character a.k.a. fighter!
