Smoked meat counts as "raw meat"

[Varenvel The Festive Dinosaur]

why? i know its not best food but it feels like its unnessesary annoyance , i think it should not be as bad as "raw meat" maybe halve the penalty or call it "bland meal"

preserved and cooked are not the same thing

smoked just makes it last longer. Common back in the day for soldiers and sailors to get this as rations, they considered it worse than fresh and raw. They used it to cook in stews etc.

taking all the moister out makes it pretty nasty to eat. Dont think jerky, think piece of "wood" that needs putting in water to soak before you can even start to chew it.

you what mate
-im eastern european and we eat smoked meat and smoked fish a lot
-it tastes way better then raw meat , it is often spiced and quite delicacy to eat how it is , in sandwiches , or cooking (i make baked beans with smoked pork) (and yes i ate raw meat , steak tattar and pork few times so i know what im talking about)
-it is cooked , free of parasites and its good way to preserve meat
(but this is a bit unrelevant) (we also make own preservatives sometimes , a bit less these days but we used to do it a lot back in the day)
(we also want to make own smoker in our garden)

reason i bring it up its becouse when you edit food preferance of your village , smoked meat is not clasafied as "raw food" it is clasified as "cooked" and "meal" as for "real life taste and nutrition im sorry but your wrong" , so why people are unhappy for eating something game itself labels as "cooked" and "meal" is the reason i did bring it up.

As i said preserved and cooked are not the same

Smoking meat/fish to cook it, is not the same as smoking meat/fish to preserve it

One is a tasty way to cook food but does not extend the life span of the food overly

The other keeps food for much much longer but tastes awful, better than nothing but not by much.

The smoked fish you mention you have had, still has moisture in the meat. Very tasty but still spoils fast out of a fridge. Keep smoking it until there is no moisture left and you have a food source that can last a very long time, not so tasty though

i see well i learned something new today, tho still game claims its cooked , and meal , but gives penalty same as eating "raw meat" it cant be as bad as raw meat

I don't eat meat so I don't know how it works in real life; but I thought smoked meat was edible without further cooking. That is how other games have handled it.

[Wantoomany]

The question isnt if it is cooked or edible. Raw vegetables are edible. The problem is it is not a meal. The game considers eating any food that is not a meal as unpleasant and it will give a mood debuff, cooked, smoked, or otherwise.

Raw vegetables, raw meat, smoked meat, and pickled vegetables are all considered cooking ingredients, not meals.
