How to Make a Spicy Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet introduced the BBQs, and some of these repeatable quests often require you to make specifically flavored sandwiches. And differently from Crispin’s trial, you’re not given the correct ingredients to accomplish this task.

All you need to do is to add as many Hot ingredients as possible to make a Spicy Sandwich. They are easy to get in many stores across the maps and there is no need to waste a whole Spicy Herba Mystica for this task. Although using it will automatically conclude it, it’s just overkill.

Don’t worry about looking for premade recipes. As long as you add at least three Hot ingredients, you should get what you’re looking for. Other types can also be added as long as the majority is still Hot-flavored.

All Spicy Ingredients in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Below you’ll find all the ingredients that add that perfect spicy taste to your sandwich. Three or more are necessary to get the desired taste.

  • Onion
  • Jalapeno
  • Mustard
  • Chili Sauce
  • Pepper
  • Horseradish
  • Wasabi

Some ingredients are simultaneously classified as having many different tastes. You’re free to add those as long as the recipe still includes a majority of Spicy ingredients.

  • Chorizo (Salty/Hot)
  • Curry Powder (Hot/Bitter)

As we previously mentioned, Spicy Herba Mystica is also included. But you don’t really need to add this one just to complete the quest. You should see the red background with your character desperately shaking their hands against their mount, indicating you succeeded in your task.

Making sandwiches is quite easy and it’s one of the many quests that will constantly show up when farming all of those BBQs in the late/post-game. And you’ll be here for a long time, so stock up on those spicy ingredients to be ready for the next picnic!
