In Stardew Valley, you can get the Strange Bun recipe after increasing your friendship with Shane, a resident of Pelican Town. Specifically, you have to increase your friendship with him to seven hearts. After doing so, he sends the recipe to your mailbox.

If you wish to quickly speed up the process, you can keep gifting Shane either Beer, Pepper, Pepper Poppers, or Pizza, as these are his loved items. Once you have the recipe, you can cook it in your improved Farmhouse or by using a cooking kit. Here’s the recipe for the Strange Bun:

  • 1x Periwinkle 
  • 1x Void Mayonaise 

Additionally, there are some other ways through which you can obtain Strange Buns, those being:
