Anybody eat them spiced worms?

[Cesar]

If somehow you could starve in this game, would you eat them then?

If I've got 2hp of health left, and I'm trying to work out how to get past five armed and angry gentlemen while that heartbeat sound is blasting out my speakers, hell yes I'd eat them. They might double my hp.

I'm a chunks guy.

At least they're spicy. Could be worse. As a kid I used a hand-held torch to fry red ants crawling up a brick wall and eat then. Not spicy. Tasted like little lemon drops. Not too bad.

I had rattlesnake once. Tasted like chicken. No, really. Alligator jerky tastes like alligator boots. Not that I've tried alligator boots.

As long as the spicy worms don't taste as bad as okra, it can't be all bad. Or lima beans. Both okra and lima beans clearly hitched a ride, weeds on some alien's ship. Definitely not fit for human consumption.

How can we call ourselves a civilized society while we still have this ongoing lima bean hatred. Lima beans are nutritious according to my mom in the 80s, and they're of critical importance to some cultures, probably. They're an important source of food for babies and the elderly because no teeth are required to eat them. They're green - literally - which means they're good for the environment.

There's a reason they don't have lima beans in this game. Fried okra is very good.

I tolerate okra in gumbo, but that's it. I know everything I said applies to both, but you won't find anything like the inherent nobility of the lima bean in okra. It's just nasty, and only suitable as a thickening agent.

Does anyone eat food in Starfield? There's a perk that makes it useful, but I don't know if it's been explored by many or if it's particularly useful. When I'm low on health, which is probably most of the time, it would be great to scarf down all the food I normally ignore. The only other Bethesda game where I bothered with food or cooking was Fallout's survival mode, because it suddenly became a useful skill. Is it potentially useful here?

Maybe they'll give us a Starfield Survival Mode. Instead of constantly walking around with broken legs and sprained ankles (that's everybody else too, right?), we can have intestinal parasites too. We would have to be careful about drinking ditch water on any planet that had life. If you land too hard and snap a leg, instead of walking away you could get stuck there, slowly starving to death because you can't make it back to the ship and didn't bring anybody on this trip.

I cook all my stuff. Get some great buffs from them.

My character, Captain Numael eats only spiced worms, other insect based foods and the soy based steak from the bar on Neon.
I've surrounded my pilots quarters so it is as much like a pod as possible. A 1x1 pilot's pod would be perfect. Just enough room to sleep and pin my waifus to the ceiling.

Absolutely not. Funny you brought it up since that's one part of my personality my PC does share. He won't eat disgusting food like spiced worms (or chunks). Pretty much anything fresh is fair game. But mealworms? No. Like crickets, that underlying aromatic is there no matter what you do with them. For mealworms, it's kind of a musty bad potato flavor that anything made with them will still carry. Nasty stuff. Crickets have almost a glue-y taste to them too, equally nasty. It's definitely not an "eww" factor for me as I'll eat uni happily. They just taste like shizz.

you good bro?

[Cutlass Jack]

The worms can't be any worse than the still 'fresh' looking sandwiches with a bite taken out of them that I keep finding near decades old corpses.

Crawfish tails, a.k.a. mudbugs are trendy. Growing up, one of the neighbor kids from Louisiana would hunt them in the drainage ditch next to an abandoned railroad easement.
Never eaten any, though. If they were really 'that' good, wouldn't need potatos and beer to hide the taste.
My folks would hit the farmers' market regularly. Then forced us to eat okra, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower. Ugh, beets too. They're still on my 'nope' list.
Ground pepper and other ground spices are allowed, by law, to contain a set amount of insect parts.

they go really well with egg chunks but mixing it with cabernet chunks usually leads to...up-chunking?
