Food

Food - is anything for consume to appease hunger.

Smoked meat
This meat was cooked a month ago and is very nutritious. This meat is rare these days because it's very popular amongst citizens.

Lemon
An ordinary lemon, citrus medica. It is delivered to the province by the South-West Highway. Lemons are a rarity here. Quite a valuable fruit. Rich with vitamins, slightly increases efficiency of the immune system and helps to fight fatigue.

Milk
A bottle of cow's milk. Be careful with this product! It is very healthy, but its origin presumes a high degree of risk. Women said that the cows have been giving ichor instead of milk and that some black clots were found in it. One shouldn't trust domestic animals these days.

Vegetables
Preserved vegetables. There are no labels on the jars. They are packed into different boxes in the storage rooms, so there could be no confusion. But this one is stolen. Such jars can hold tomatoes, young onion, sweet pepper and even corn grains. You never know what you'll get as they all have a different degree of nutrition.

Cracker
A piece of dried bread. Not very nutritious, but sustains long periods of storage. There is no bakery in the town. The citizens bake homemade bread. The inhabitants of the Apiary make unleavened cookies. There hasn't been much bread cooked lately due to a flour shortage.

Fresh fish
This fish was caught either yesterday or today. This means that the river still has living fish and gives us hope for the coming of better times. It's nutritious properties are quite high. There is a lot of phosphorus and other useful minerals in the fish.

Fresh meat
This is the meat of an animal killed a few hours ago. Nobody knows where it came from. It is as yet unknown what is going on at the Abattoir - its interior is closed to ordinary citizens and all contact with the inhabitants of the Apiary are temporarily ceased. However, fresh meat is quite nutritious and tasty, if you know how to cook it.

Dried meat
This meat was prepared three weeks ago. The probability that it is infected is extremely low, but one must keep in mind that the meat is from a steppe animal. Large shipments of dried meat have been readied for delivery to the regional administrative centre, and now the Beef Stocks await the arrival of the goods train.

Dried fish
The river has granted us a few unpleasant surprises. Maybe this has something to do with the mass deaths of the fish? All last week dozens of dead fish were washed ashore by the river, along with whole layers of scales. Nobody eats fresh fish anymore, but some dared to try some, cooked, before the strange event.

Water
A bottle of drinking water. Such bottles are only used for water from the springs. They are: the Stone Spring of the Cathedral, the well on the Lace Square and the spring Sugagh Hadugh that is situated near the border of the Steppe and the Rotten Field. Its waters were thought to be sacred once, but the old residents are very careful about drinking it, due to its position close to the burial fields.

Egg
A fresh quail egg. Very nutritious. Especially useful food for the human organism, weakened by a serious disease. Chickens and eggs are becoming very rare lately, so the citizens are mostly eating quail eggs.

Bread
A piece of stale bread. Hard as rock, but with no signs of mold. It probably can't be dangerous, but, judging from rumors, the possibility still exists.

Coffee
Acts upon the drinker's heart, causing significant stress - its level nearly decupled by the Steppe climate. However, coffee decreases fatigue, making it indispensable in certain critical situations.

Nuts
Attention! Nuts can be useful as exchange currency, but you can use it to appease hunger as well.

Peanut
According to the children's game of "nuts" it has the lowest place in the nut hierarchy. The children don't find it valuable because of its fragile shell and awkward shape. However, it can be easily found in food storages and has quite good nutritious qualities. Can never be infected.

Hazelnut
These nuts don't grow in our location, but can be frequently encountered in town, due to the game "nuts", so loved by the kids. Rumour has it that there was a large storage of nuts at the 11th Warehouse. Notkin's friends got four sacks from there. Could by no means be infected.

Walnut
A rare nut for this area. Knowing the children's love for large nuts, the adults use these as encouragement. Walnuts are now a kind of currency for the kids. They could exchange something of value for a large walnut. Walnuts can under no circumstances whatsoever be infected.
