> For that matter, why dont we have sour cream, guacamole and salsa in grocery stores in game? Most of us dump that stuff all over our nachos with some bacon or carnitas if your lucky. Maybe im just biased cuz i was born in vegas but everyone eats loaded nachos… Making tacos or quesadillas should be about as difficult as an in game cooked sandwich so maybe cooking 1-3.
Possibly because sour cream and guacamole both go bad within days. Unopened sour cream might last a couple months if unopened and refrigerated but guacamole is definitely not something that lasts no matter what you do to try and extend its shelf life.

Even in the East most “wasabi” available is actually horseradish, which is already in the game and already usable to make sashimi (see [Horseradish (recipes) - Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead](http://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/horseradish/recipes/CC_FOOD) )
I think @Midas put it best…how much variety do you REALLY need? If your complaint in a survival situation is “I can’t make my favorite food” then IMO you deserve to suffer.

I was having fried chicken last night and thought “what about fried meat?”
Flour + (powdered) egg + chunk of meat/dehydrated meat/rehydrated meat/etc with cooking oil as a tool.

Ok.
Hear me out.
You guys ever just smash some food together in some form, like in a bowl or sandwich?
What if we do that?
What if, instead of adding more food, we add qualities to the food. Like salty, sweet, spicy, mushy, hard (nuts and stuff.) Then add some way to combine it.
With some bread, sandwiches using food can be made. Like, you can make sandwiches out of other foods, like putting chips and salsa in a sandwich. Or steak and potatoes on a roll?
Or just find a bowl. Corn, chicken, gravy, etc., and boom. KFC bowl home edition.
Along with adding some hidden qualities that affect the joy the character might get from it. Like, put “goes well with multiple kinds of meat.” on corn or asparagus. That way, characters who are intolerant to certain foods can mix it with compatible food, increasing the nutritional value while also making the mood negatives not as bad or making them not as sick.
Could also put in the trait “Food Scientist/Chef.” This would allow a character to see the hidden qualities that food has, making it easier to combine food into favorable combinations.
I’m saying this mainly so I could combine Toast-ems and s’mores for MAX SUGAR.
Stupid? Maybe. You tell me.

Insta noddles and veg/chicken soup, cheap and surprisingly tasty.
There was a point in my life when I was going through hard times and practically lived off that, definitely worse things to eat. 😁

As I’ve said some brazilian typical food would be good,most stuff is from African,indigenous origin and where made from slav e people in secrecy to complement their poor diet this means that most food is made with primitive gear and tools

True.
But all the same, would love to see mainlined. It would make food oh so much more interesting.

Glad everyone digs my threads.
The brazilian food isn’t my thing. But that does remind me of a market and a few restraunts catering to it. So yeah. We have that too.
Every town has a pizza parlor. Not sure about else where. But in New England. Literally all towns have at least 1 and many scale to the town and have more. Mine has like 7 lol
Gochujang suace. Mmmm…Yeah. I dig this stuff and we have a fairly large asian section in most grocery stores.
More canned food though was that “gee” comment. We have a variety, I know. But being out of it at the time I wrote this thread. I didn’t make it clear. I was just thinking of how there is variety amongst the same items. Like 6 different types of SPAM and the various knock offs. Could just be an addendum to stuff we already have, adding in a new graphic. But there (as those video show) are many other items New England can have. Perhaps make some imports rare?

As far as I remember, the pelmeni are already present in the game. And sauerkraut, too.

there’s only one variety of stir fry in game currently and it’s using tofu, what divine heresy you have wrought!
we have a word for people who don’t eat meat: food.
