Tar Sandwiches are a type of Food that you can only cook in a Cooking Station.
The one recipe you'll need to cook all kinds of Sandwiches - inlcuding Tar Sandwiches - will be unlocked when cooking an ordinary Bread from Wheat and ordinary Water in the Cooking Station. Please note that any other variants of Bread like Wholesome Bread or Tar Bread will not unlock the cooking recipe for Sandwiches.
To cook 2 Tar Sandwiches at a time, you'll need (as of R32 in June 2016):
- 2x blackish Tar Bread (no other types of Bread will do!), made from Tar (scooped up from small Tar pools on the Fossil layer or Stalactite layer underground with an Iron Mining Cell or better) and Wheat (grown from Wheat Seeds on tilled soil close to Water)
- either 3 Crisphead Lettuces or 3 Turnips. Both vegetables can be grown on tilled soil near Water) from Seeds that can be processed from Lettuces or Turnips that you can occasionally find growing on the ground, especially in or close to Forests (Lettuce) and Swamplands (Turnips)
- and 3 more ingredients: either Turnips, Crisphead Lettuce, Horned Melons, Questionable Jerky, common green Chizzard Eggs, blue Blizzard Chizzard Eggs or Mushrooms of any kind
When consuming a Tar Sandwich (by putting it into a quickslot, choosing that quickslot and click your right mouse button or by dragging this food over your character's model on the right side of the inventory) your character will be granted a bonus of 200 points to their maximum Health for 15 minutes. Tar Sandwiches (just like Tar Bread) also makes excellent Fuel and will speed up processes in the Forge to their maximum.
Only one Tar Sandwich of a whole stack will automatically be consumed if you use a stack. If you eat more Tar Sandwiches (by right-clicking or dragging & dropping again) shortly after another, the effect will merely set/prolonged to 15 minutes anew.
Pets who prefer to eat Tar Sandwiches will not provide you with their best harvest if you feed them any other types of Sandwiches, like Turnip Sandwiches made with 6 Turnips, Mushroom Sandwiches made with 3 Mushrooms nor Melon Sandwiches made with 3 Horned Melons for example.

Turnips can be found growing by themselves in Forests or even more often in Swamplands. By putting them into the Processor, Turnip Seeds will be produced that can be planted under fitting conditions (on tilled soil with water nearby) to receive more Turnips.
Crisphead Lettuces can be found growing by themselves in Forests or under trees in other Biomes. By putting them into the Processor, Lettuce Seeds will be produced that can be planted under fitting conditions (on tilled soil with water nearby) to receive more Lettuces.
Horned Melons can be found growing by themselves in (dangerous) Jungles only, which makes them rare discoveries. By putting them into the Processor, Horned Melon Seeds will be produced that can be planted under fitting conditions (on tilled soil with water nearby) to receive more Horned Melons.
Chizzard Eggs can only be obtained from tamed Chizzards or Night Chizzards (spawning on Shores on Shorewood, in Jungles or more rarely in Canyons) after they have become your Pets and you have fed them their preferred type of Food. Chizzard Eggs cannot be looted from Chizzards/Night Chizzards when you kill them.
Blizzard Chizzard Eggs can only be obtained from tamed Blizzard Chizzard Pets. Blizzard Chizzards usually spawn during the day on Snow in Taigas, Tundras, on frozen Oceans or frozen plains - after they have become your Pets and you have fed them their preferred type of Food. Blizzard Chizzard Eggs cannot be looted from Blizzard Chizzards when you kill them.
Questionable Jerky can be made in a Forge from either Chizzard Gizzard or Blizzard Chizzard Gizzard - these Gizzards can be obtained from any kind of Chizzard, either from their Loot Bags or by harvesting from them if they are your Pets.
For Food, any type of Mushrooms can be used; Red Mushrooms that grow in patches of five units in Forests, Woodlands, Swamplands and Grassland; also Brown Mushroom that can be found embedded in Dirt directly under the top layer of most Biomes, especially at the entrance of Caves; and Glowing Mushrooms that can be found on the Stalactite layer embedded in rocks and can be mined with an Obsidian Mining Cell. Red and Brown Mushrooms can be found in Wood Treasure Chests at night, Red Mushrooms can be obtained from BossHogs and Glowing Mushrooms (as well as Brown Mushrooms) from Mirus.
