Tasty Meat

Tasty Meat (alternately translated from Japanese as Delicious Meat or Enchanted Meat, also localized as Pot Roast or Spiced Meat) is a food item that appears in several Castlevania games. It is referred to as "tasty" to distinguish it from Rotten Meat or to indicate it gives more health than normal Meat. Aeon discovered that using Tasty Meat in his dishes was better for business.

There are two variants of the item: the Giant Roast, found only in the room preceding the meeting with the Minotaur and restoring all lost HP, and the Half-Eaten Meat, found only in the room preceding the meeting with Dogether and restoring that little HP.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Can be found at the beginning of the game, on a ledge across a long body of water filled with Killer Fishes. It is also dropped by Killer Fish. It is a rare and useful food item.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

A rare and useful food item. It's rarely dropped by the Gorgon enemy.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

This item is represented by a different sprite from the one used for this item in Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow. It is a rare drop item from the Catoblepas enemy.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

Tasty Meat can occasionally be found in rare chests within Somnus Reef. It can also be found in a breakable ledge located in a vertical room full of Red Skeletons in the Castle Entrance section of Dracula's Castle.

Trivia

• In some games, the recovery value may contain a number "29". This is based on how meat spells in Japanese, being "にく", which is also a pun of "29". The value 29 may also apply to other meat items.
