Mystery Meat is a food item in Remixed Dungeon. When eaten, it has a random beneficial or harmful effect. It can be safely cooked at a cauldron to create Chargrilled Meat, eliminating the risk of negative effects.
According to the in-game description: “A mysterious piece of meat. Eating it might be risky, but there's a chance it could have positive effects.”

Mystery Meat can transform into other items under certain conditions: * Burned: When exposed to fire, becomes Chargrilled Meat * Frozen: When exposed to cold, becomes Frozen Carpaccio * Poisoned: When affected by poison, becomes Rotten Food
