Radroach Meat (Fallout: New Vegas)

Radroach meat is a food item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The meat is the whole abdomen of a radroach. Since radroaches appear less frequently Fallout: New Vegas than in Fallout 3, radroach meat is increasingly difficult to find. The effects of the radroach meat in Fallout: New Vegas is notably different: it restores a small amount of hit points, but gives an unreasonably high dose of radiation. Consuming it also gives a -1 penalty to Strength. Needless to say, it may be better to avoid this snack altogether than try to consume it.

Location

 * On the bodyguards for hire in Freeside
 * In one of the Nellis hangars
 * In the REPCONN test site's basement
 * In the Nipton Hall
 * Sometimes found on members of the Legion
 * Sometimes found on super mutants

Cut irradiated version
Within the game files exists a version of radroach meat, that gives 18 rads instead of the normal 10. It was supposed to be dropped by the irradiated radroach, but after cutting the creature, the other variant of the meat was cut as well.
