'Stardew Valley' - Luau
Soup Tasting[]
During the Luau, you have the opportunity to place a food ingredient in the communal soup pot. The Governor will later taste the soup, and his reaction depends on the quality of the ingredient the player added. The ingredient used also affects friendship gained with all villagers.
Missing Something Response[]
Adding nothing will result in the Governor saying "Hmmm... Well it's not bad, but it's missing something... Did everyone in town contribute an ingredient to the soup? I feel like it's missing someone's unique voice." This response does not affect friendship.
