Stop by one of the Vending Machines near a Rest Stop or the Central Plaza in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk’s Terrarium to pick up the ingredients you need for a bitter sandwich. There are a few different ways to make one, but the cheapest way is using just a handful of foods you can find there.

For the easiest method:

  1. Grab three cucumbers.
  2. Some olive oil.
  3. Toss that on some bread
Tip:

You’ll need more than three ingredients to make a bitter sandwich.

If you don’t want to risk ruining your sandwich, toss a Bitter Herba Mystica on top and guarantee yourself a bitter one. However, with Herba Mystica being a Tera Raid reward drop and rarer than typical ingredients, you might save that for making a four-star sandwich or a BBQ that requires them. 


So, there you have it! You know everything you need to make bitter sandwiches in Pokémon Scarlett and Violet Indigo Disk.
