Old World Gourmet

 is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Effects
"Thanks to unclean living you've learned the secrets of the lounge lizards! +25% Addiction Resistance. +50% Health bonus from Snack Foods. Scotch, Vodka and Wine now give you Health in addition to their normal effects."

The Old World Gourmet perk provides three main effects.

First, the perk increases the amount of health given by the various types of so-called "Snack Food" by 50%. This increase is done by modifying the duration of health restoration; for example, the health restoration effect of junk food is changed from +1(5s) HP (1 hit point-per-second for 5 seconds) to +1(7s) HP (1 hit point-per-second for 7 seconds).

Second, the perk adds a health restoration effect to Wine, Vodka, and Scotch, as well as the Scotch variants Irradiated Scotch and Jake Juice. The effect is the same for all: +2(10s) HP (2 hit points-per-second for 10 seconds).

Finally, the perk modifies the player's chance of addiction, reducing it by 25%. This is a multiplicative change, meaning that (for example) items which normally have an addiction chance of 10% will instead have an addiction chance of 7.5%. This change applies to all sources of addiction, even those items not otherwise affected by this perk.
