Thin Red Paste

Thin red paste is a consumable item

Gameplay
Thin red paste is a healing item which restores the Courier's Hit Points when consumed, and also temporarily increases maximum HP by 5 points.

Locations

 * With the perk Them's Good Eatin', there is a 50% chance that one or more will be in the inventory of any creature killed by the player character.
 * Three can be found in X-13 research facility in the room where the player character finds the prototype boots, on a table at the room's south end.

Behind the scenes
Like blood sausage, "thin red paste" is a term used in one of the graphic combat results featured in the combat prose of the Fallout series' spiritual predecessor, Wasteland. As in, "you reduced your enemy to a thin red paste."

Bugs
The in-game Pip-Boy description erroneously shows "+7 HP(30s)" instead of +5 Max HP for 240 seconds and +2 HP for 30 seconds.
