Food that doesnt spoil?
Can you cook this from vegetables? Or the only food that doesnt rotten is the cans, some junk food and beef jerky?

Any food that is labeled fresh and is perishable will spoil if they are not kept in a refrigerator (and as long as your world/save still has working power). To my knowledge you cannot cook away the spoiled/rotten food.

In the later game (when both water/power is shut off) you will have to start thinking of a better source for food which would be your canned goods and chips.

Actually you can cook rotten food too, its just not very healthy ;).
That being said at high cooking levels that is no longer true either.

I'm still sort of new, I guess you learn something new every day. I wonder with that if you cook the spoiled food (I know its not that healthy) but is it actually better then say if you didn't cook it at all in just ate it plain?

No biggie to not know that getting cooking to level 5(pre patch) and now level 10 (post patch) is nothing that is going to happen too fast.

Well there are two things to consider:

If the food gets cooked spoiled, and your Skill level is below 10 you have a chance of food poisoning.
If you cook it spoiled food at SL 10 you won't get poisoned.

Never personally tried it though, the thought makes me IRL nauseous :P

Cupcakes and ice cream are setup to be gifts to NPCs (from the looks of it) so they never got an expiration.

item Cupcake { HungerChange = -20, Weight = 0.2, AlwaysWelcomeGift = TRUE, Type = Food, DisplayName = Cupcake, Icon = Cupcake, }
