Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup

 is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas. It

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Farber about his meat supply.
 * 2) Ask Blake at Crimson Caravan Camp, Ruby Nash in Primm or Fitz at Grub n' Gulp Rest Stop about the possibility of meat supply contracts with Camp McCarran. Only one must be asked about the deal, the others can be skipped. Blake seems to be the primary choice, as he has a speech check (70) allowing a reduced price on the meat for the NCR and a barter check (50) to convince Blake to trade one piece of meat for two vegetables or bottles of water.
 * 3) You must now enter Vault 22 to acquire the food additive (if the player hasn't already), for detailed guides on the vault see its article or the related quests in the vault (There Stands the Grass, Still in the Dark, Bleed Me Dry and I Could Make You Care).
 * 4) Return to Farber.

Bugs

 * You are unable to talk to either Ruby Nash or Fitz about the food supplies.


 * Fixing the food processor (for Not Worth a Hill of Corn and Beans) before you speak with him will cause the dialogue to trade the food additive to him not to appear.


 * Even if Farber says he will take the food additive and begins testing it immediately, it remains in the players inventory.
