Food

Food refers to a group of items in the Fallout series that usually heals a small number of Hit Points or gives temporary statistics such as AP but has no major drawbacks except maybe a small amount of radiation. Originally, the developers planned to implement a system requiring the player to eat. The idea was scrapped, but food was not removed from the game. The idea was then returned in Fallout: New Vegas in the form of Hardcore mode. For some reason, packaged foods, like Salisbury Steak, don't go moldy.

Edibles and beverages
There are many different types of food and drinks throughout the series.
