Yummy! Food lowers your [[Hunger,_Thirst_%26_Intoxication#Hunger|Hunger]], sometimes [[Hunger,_Thirst_%26_Intoxication#Thirst|Thirst]] and sometimes it also has other beneficial effects.

Eating spoiled or rotten food is not recommended. Some foods (usually meat) can be cooked, which greatly improves their benefits. Eating raw meat is possible, but less beneficial than cooked meat, and may also produce negative effects, such as [[Nausea|Vomiting]].

* Eating any food item always takes one turn.
* Sometimes food provides other beneficial effects like [[Morale Change]], these effects are applied for a limited amount of turns listed on the item.
* Eating food that would reduce your Hunger below 0% instead sets your Hunger to 0% and applies the [[Satiety]] effect, which will temporarily prevent Hunger accumulation.

=== Eat smart ===
Consider your eating expenses. It barely costs anything to hunt deer in the forest and even a small amount of Venison can last a long time. Be mindful of the freshness of different foods. When you find food in the dungeons, eat cheese and other types that spoil quickly first, then bread, fruit and veggies, then long lasting food like Potatoes last.

You should stock up on different amount and type of food based on where you plan to go. Travelling to a far away area will require bringing more food with you, so make sure you have enough inventory space and take the right food items with you.
