Give Fragrant Dishes To Invited Characters In Teapot

Fragrant dishes can be given to invited characters in your teapot which can increase companionship EXP.

Character's Preferred Dish

Offering a Fragrant Dish does not necessarily mean that the character would automatically like it. Regardless if the character liked it or not, you can receive the friendship EXP.
