Cpl. William Farber

Corporal  is an NCR cook working at Camp McCarran in 2281.

Background
William Farber is the cantankerous and much maligned cook for Camp McCarran.

Quests

 * Not Worth a Hill of Corn and Beans: Farber needs his food processor repaired as well as some spices to make meat taste better.
 * Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup: Farber needs to diversify and needs a reliable source of meat.
 * Gland for Some Home Cooking: Farber has heard or Ruby's casserole and would like to sample it.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * It is possible to tell Farber that Fitz has been recruited to supply McCarran multiple times. Doing this enough will result in an infinite discount, allowing you to take items from Farber's stock without paying.  (It should be noted that recruiting Fitz is in itself heavily bugged)
 * Ruby Nash may not have any dialog options about supplying Farber with meat, even after getting the meat vendor list.
 * Fixing the food processor before you speak with him to get the quest will permanently break that portion of the unmarked quest. It doesn't interfere with the other two tasks.
 * For some reason, he sometimes lacks any items or caps in his shop inventory, even after a supplier has been found.
 * The dialog option for giving Keely's seeds is available even before asking if he's having problems, and without having met Keely.
 * A bug can occur when you try to speak to him that will cause the camera to zoom in as if you were going to speak to him but no dialogue options are available and then the camera will zoom out as if dialogue has ended even though you have not spoken to him. There is currently no known way to fix this. On the PC version pressing tab will fix the bug until the player tries to speak to him again.
 * Farber will not take the Food Additive from your inventory, if you try to give him BEFORE speaking with Fitz. You can use command to make the Food Additive a non-quest item.
 * It is possible to not receive XP points even if you pass the Speech check (60) with Fitz.
 * It is possible to have the Food Additive stuck in your inventory, with Farber's dialogue options remaining as if the quest is still going, even after fixing the food processor and making a deal for meat.
 * Fixing the stove with skill and choosing the discount instead of trade with the caravan company can prevent you from being able to finish the quest.
 * Farber will indirectly misgender female characters by stating that they 'look like a man that shook him down'.
