Hi, if you are pretty new to the game I would assume you are raising your humours as a forager/hunter. From personal experience, I think that Yellow Bile is most tedious to raise based on foraging. You should gather as much Lavender Blewits (the blue mushrooms found in swamps and sometimes grassland)as you can manage, make some into "Shrooms-on-a-stick", and keep some of the Blewit for your gluttony sessions as well. Prepare your ingredients/food in advance to avoid frustration. Study the values of the food you are intending to use. Wortbaked Warbites are more tedious to gather, but I think it should help until your YB is around 40 or so. As for phlegm, I raised it mainly on roasted slugs,the other snail dishes, and "A Walk on the Wild Side". Beavers/deers can be handled quite comfortably with a little skill, 30 humours (with fencing and maybe fast moves) is very possible with caution and some practice.
If you are already doing agriculture, YB is quite easily raised by making cabbage rolls (2 meat shreads + 2 cabbage leaves). Sometimes it raises more blood, but it really depends on which element of cabbage you are using (I was using 40%+ mercury seeds). But cabbage rolls are great as they require little effort to craft once you get your cabbage farm started, and they are consumed quickly during gluttony. I agree with the rest on oatmeal crackers+pumpkin pies for phlegm, and of course, mushroom pies for YB/Blood.
Good luck!
