Carp Surprise
Carp Surprise is a cooked dish prepared using the kitchen inside an upgraded farmhouse. It requires four carps to create and, when consumed, it provides a modest energy and health boost. Despite its unappealing name and appearance, which may lead some to believe it has negative effects, it is a perfectly safe and beneficial item to consume. It can also be given as a gift to villagers, although it is not particularly liked by most.
