Meat (also called Pork Chop, Pot Roast or Werewolf Leg in some games) is an item usually hidden in breakable blocks which could restore the health of the player. Some games had large and small varieties of meat, which would restore different amount of health. Food in Castlevania became more varied after Rondo of Blood, in which Maria had a different set of food items (Sweets) than Richter did (who continued to only eat Meat).

Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the NightEdit

Castlevania: Harmony of DespairEdit

There are two kinds of meat in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Small meats are common and give 29 HP (Meat Strip) or reduce HP by that amount (Rotten Meat). This amount is a playoff of the Japanese word for "meat" (niku), which sounds like a 2 (ni) followed by a 9 (ku). Large meats (Boneless Ham, Roast Beef, Tasty Meat) are three star items that give 100 more HP and also give a CON and/or STR boost. Most other food items that contain some meat in them also increase CON or STR.
