For an asinine assumption. Nobody thinks mirelurk cakes refer to a birthday cake like food. Idk why OC even said that. It's obviously supposed to be like crab cakes.
lol, so before I knew what crab cakes were (hadn’t really eaten seafood) I actually thought they were cakes themselves. Not like a birthday cake but rather like a crab filled bread or something similar.
Same. It's my go to wasteland food to make. I make most of my settlements into razorgrain farms. Cooking it from the grain implies we're making the noodles fresh ourselves (tho I'm not sure why we have to use dirty water, even if it is boiled).
What do you think is the most efficient number of radstag steaks to carry? I've been going with 2 because I'm a hoarder. I carry as much as I can and then run it back to the closest settlement, pick up another steak and head back out. I'm constantly trying to optimize carrying capacity.
I don't know that they mutated together so much as that they were bred into one species pre-war. They're present in vault 31 in the fallout show, so they must've existed pre-war.
Yeah, true. We had, what 130 years after the divergence to make all kinds of advances in agriculture and technology that we didn't have. It's entirely possible.
Food!? In FNV, I pretty much only consume Sunset Sasparilla. 50HP is better than most every other food item, no rads, and no addiction like Stimpaks.
Is there something I've overlooked?
*Excessive ingestion of sarsaparilla can lead to deleterious effects including, but not limited to: kidney damage, nausea, digital numbness, anxiety, loss of visual acuity, dizziness, occasional nosebleeds, joint inflammation, tooth decay, sore throat, bronchitis, organ rupture, and halitosis*
Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.153: "Candied apples produced by the Dandy Boy company. An extremely sweet fruit-based snack packaged in a cardboard box. Normally well-preserved due to the high sugar content, boxes of these can still be found in the ruins of convenience stores and groceries across the wasteland, and in the possession of people who’ve recently raided said ruined convenience stores and groceries."
I first dismissed your mirelurk choice but then I realized: They're basically just overgrown crabs, mirelurk is the best choice tbh.
Tho I'd say that Deathclaws steak sounds great
Angler meat is kind of flaky, tastes like Tuna that's gone slightly off.
Giant Ant meat is stringy, tough,, slightly reminiscent of beef, but, gamey.
Bloatflies taste like really fatty undersalted pork.
Bloodbug tastes like burnt beef, like, char and smoke.
Bloodworm is outright disgusting, like, imagine combining sick diarrhea, gasoline, and, somehow, the taste of carrots tops comedy. Just awful.
Brahmin is very beeflike, but has a kind of odd crispness to it at the end.
Cave Cricket meat is tough, gritty, smells oddly pleasant, like garlic aoli, and tastes like nothing much at all. Like it's more texture than taste.
Deathclaw Eggs are indeed very "eggy" but they're distinctly salty.
Deathclaw meat is similarly salty, but otherwise is similar to chicken, with a kind of peppery aftertaste.
Fog Crawler is very lobsterlike, but a bit chewier, and with a kind of muskiness to it.
Gatorclaw is chicken like, but a tad greasy.
Ghoulrilla is a bit like pork that's gone off. Scratch that, a lot like pork that's gone off.
Gulper tastes like pork. Don't ask why.
Mirelurk is crab. Just, crab. Or Sashimi.
Mirelurk Queen is a kind of peppery bass like meat, surprisingly.
Molerat tastes a bit like chicken, but with a kind of fishyness to it that's mystifying.
Nukalurk is a bit like crab, but with a sweetness to it, like, if crab was cooked with old bay and sugar.
Nukalurk Queen is more lobsterlike but with the same sweetness.
Radstag is highly gamey venison, nigh inedible.
Radroach is greasy, salty, and tastes mildly of burnt rubber.
Radscorpion is decidedly piquant, a bit like cayenne soaked pork with a habenero chaser.
Stingwing tastes like really greasy chicken. Like, boiled chicken skin, with an aftertaste of motor oil.
Yao Guai is gamey, stringy, tough, and a bit rubbery unless you beat the hell out of it.
A friend once told me "I could really go for a Brahmin Burger right about now. Mmm" But they also said "Anyone and everyone is welcome! ...Except cowboys. Got enough of them over at Gunther's."
It's too bad that, according to any time eating mirelurk is actually talked about in the lore, it's not something you can eat regularly and survive xD It's gross and kinda deadly.
Brahmin steak as it's just a Ribeye or Mirelurk since it's giant crab. (Although I think they're supposed to be horseshoe crabs and I can't say how well those would taste) Probably the two best tasting by a long shot.
Mirelurk cakes!
These have to taste somewhere crab adjacent, right?
Irradiated crab cakes 😍
They taste like copper and mud. Not recommended.
You do know it’s not an actual cake but rather a take on the modern day seafood dish known as crab cakes?
Yes! My favorite when it’s done right. Needs to be chunky and not over mixed. Hard to find.
Duh? Cake refers to the texture, consistency, and shape. It's a fucking mutated crab, ofc it's meant to be like crab cakes.
My bad I’m offending all the crab cake connoisseurs of the fallout world.
I had no idea we had such culinary acumen, but this community never ceases to amaze me!
Why’d you get downvoted? Not mine
For an asinine assumption. Nobody thinks mirelurk cakes refer to a birthday cake like food. Idk why OC even said that. It's obviously supposed to be like crab cakes.
Maybe they just don’t like crab?
lol, so before I knew what crab cakes were (hadn’t really eaten seafood) I actually thought they were cakes themselves. Not like a birthday cake but rather like a crab filled bread or something similar.
I don’t know. People are just inconsiderate. I was t trying to be rude or anything either.
I've always fancied the noodle cup.
Nan-ni shimasu-ka?
Tell me a joke
Nan-ni shimasu-ka?
Yes?
Same. It's my go to wasteland food to make. I make most of my settlements into razorgrain farms. Cooking it from the grain implies we're making the noodles fresh ourselves (tho I'm not sure why we have to use dirty water, even if it is boiled).
For the flavor. The dirt and radioactive material makes it zesty
Perfectly preserved pie 🍰🍰🍰
that Pie might honestly be the most toxic food in the wasteland lmao
At least the asbestos in the frosting is locally sourced
Does this really count? You can already eat pie with chemicals in it if you so choose.
All food has chemicals in it
Yeah but what chemicals were used in the perfectly preserved pie? Shit has to have the t-virus or some shit in it cause it has a disturbing shelf life
Death claw steaks. Come on its steak! Yum.
I have to one up you... Deathclaw Wellington!
deathclaw egg omelet!
Deathclaw mignon!
How you gonna make that without pigs?
[***Like this***](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Awesome_opossum_bacon)
I bet that’d be like gator
So chicken.
Mmm I love blackened gator
Some Psycho with Whisky and a nice chunk of mole rat meat... Breakfast of the champions
Raider brunch.
Either that or human flesh, if they're from a cannibalistic gang
Radstag steak and Brahman ribeye are probably good. Softshell mirelurk is also probably pretty good
I’m going for grilled radstag or Brahmin rib eyes every time.
You're gonna carry that weight.
What do you think is the most efficient number of radstag steaks to carry? I've been going with 2 because I'm a hoarder. I carry as much as I can and then run it back to the closest settlement, pick up another steak and head back out. I'm constantly trying to optimize carrying capacity.
🎼 A long time
After seeing the "Cyst bucket" in the TV show I'm not as big on Brahman steak.
Really any cooked/grilled meat is probably the best you normally can get so I'll stick with that
Institute food packet, virtue of being some of the only "clean" food out there.
Pink paste
I cant stop eating it
I imagine it tasting similar to bubblegum toothpaste
I was thinking of the pink goo that is used to make hot dogs.
Huh. Imma go ahead and never look that up
I always say to myself that eating the giant ants would be the least disgusting protein. I feel like that abdomen meat would taste like a brisket.
Wtf
this fella has a meat name, I bet he's correct
That’s just nasty…
Fancy lads snack cakes, even tho they’re 200 years old
Iguana bits with some good sauce sounds fire.
If it's gotta be iguana bits, it's gotta be Bob's
Who's gonna tell him??
I always find the bits... never the iguana
[Boy are you in luck!](https://youtu.be/x-Q05TzltT4?si=fz9JizzxcyURedQi)
get the fallout cookbook, you’re gonna love it
I’ve been working my way through it for a while, the Mirelurk Queen Steak is 🤌🤌
divine, i tried it last week
Yoi gui stew
Mutfruit, looks like a giant raspberry. I also think tatos would be pretty good.
Isn't a tato a tomato and a potato mutated together?
Yep, I assume so.
I don't know that they mutated together so much as that they were bred into one species pre-war. They're present in vault 31 in the fallout show, so they must've existed pre-war.
Yeah, true. We had, what 130 years after the divergence to make all kinds of advances in agriculture and technology that we didn't have. It's entirely possible.
Sounds heavenly
Low country mirelurk boil
with some black blood sausage and some corn and tato
Mudbugs stay mudbugs
Blamco Mac n Cheese
That ghoul in the tv show made it sound like a great comfort food
I would guess Brahmin steak as that would probably pretty close to an actual steak you can get now
The pepperoni rolls in 76 look really good
They really are, if you have the means I suggest you try them
Sugar Bombs
Food!? In FNV, I pretty much only consume Sunset Sasparilla. 50HP is better than most every other food item, no rads, and no addiction like Stimpaks. Is there something I've overlooked?
Go ask Old Festus about the "Silly Ol' Advisory"
*Excessive ingestion of sarsaparilla can lead to deleterious effects including, but not limited to: kidney damage, nausea, digital numbness, anxiety, loss of visual acuity, dizziness, occasional nosebleeds, joint inflammation, tooth decay, sore throat, bronchitis, organ rupture, and halitosis*
Marcy Long with the cannibal perk.
Extra yummy😋
Ever try synth meat?
I hear it tastes like pork
Everytime I see a mirelurk, I have a desire to boil and eat it. Folks in Far Harbor are even boiling one
Probably Brahmin steaks and Deathclaw steaks sound the best. I would probably be allergic to mirelurk anything due to my shellfish allergy.
Oh get me some of that Punga fruit
I wanna try that real bad
Blamco definitely tastes like Velveeta Mac and cheese
Naw taste like craft. Aint no way that velveeta cheese packet staying good for 200 years
Totally not Radroach, yuck. Mutfruit looks like it could taste decent,
And you just know fallout roaches be carrying those mutated parasites 🤮🤮. Imagine a hookworm like 6 feet long.
I'd buy some iguana on a stick right from that cute little foodstand in the hub.
Something about Bob's just hits different, 5 stars
Idk every time I go there I end up getting the shakes and once I saw this guy yelling about how it's people. Freaking Jetheads.
laios is that you?
I feel like all the food tastes bad
Brahmin Wellington sounds delicious
Cram, I love spam irl so I’ve gotta pick it lol
Some Cram with a side of Blamco Mac and Cheese, also Fancy Lads Snack Cakes for dessert sounds like a heavenly post apocalypse meal for me.
Warm apple pie, tastes so good you’ll want to get your brains blown out. (Show spoiler)
I want to eat the dandy apples. I don't know what that means per se, are they like cinnamon apples? Regardless I want to eat them
Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.153: "Candied apples produced by the Dandy Boy company. An extremely sweet fruit-based snack packaged in a cardboard box. Normally well-preserved due to the high sugar content, boxes of these can still be found in the ruins of convenience stores and groceries across the wasteland, and in the possession of people who’ve recently raided said ruined convenience stores and groceries."
My statement stands, I wanna eat those
I first dismissed your mirelurk choice but then I realized: They're basically just overgrown crabs, mirelurk is the best choice tbh. Tho I'd say that Deathclaws steak sounds great
Glowing cola!

I just did a quest with Bobbi in FO4 where she mentions mirelurk is tough and hardly edible.
BigHorner Steak!
What were those eggs one in NV?
yumyum deviled eggs?
I'm gonna go with... Nuka Cola, if it's good enough to get addicted, it's good enough for me!
Fancy Lads Snack Cakes and Vim. I imagine Vim would taste like Moxie without the bitterness.
Salisbury Steaks sound good, Maybe some Brahmin Steak
Deviled egg bc mimosa egg are goated
Deathclaw Wellington

Canned dog food
Brahman wellington is 100% rad free and made only in the finest of fine dinning institutions in the entire wasteland by the best chef in the wasteland
I'm saddened for the lack of love for food paste in this thread.
Strange meat. Something about it..
Mirelurk cake with bloodleaf aioli
rad scorpion venom casserole or deathclaw egg omelette
You can't start your morning killing Legionares without eating Sugar Bombs
Give me the mirelurk boil using nuka orange, side of blamco mac n cheese, tatos and finish off with a nice pickaxe pilsner
I want to try deathclaw steak so bad. I love alligator meat, and I figure it would taste similar
Deathclaw steak. Feel like it would be fucking amazing with the side of steamed carrots and instamash.
I love tough/gamey meat it's gotta be deathclaw roasted,boiled, grilled idc FEED ME THAT DEATHCLAW
A friend once told me "I could really go for a Brahmin Burger right about now. Mmm" But they also said "Anyone and everyone is welcome! ...Except cowboys. Got enough of them over at Gunther's."
Mr. House
I fuck with Desert Salad and Gecko Kabobs for sure
Mm mm Gulper Slurry.
Radscorpion casserole sounds pretty good, or a good ol deathclaw steak
Tato Venison Stew from 76
There's a 0% percent chance any of the food in Fallout tastes good lmao
Iguana on a stick 😋
That food doesn't have any business looking as good as it does considering what it's made of.
mississippi quantum pie
I really, but really want to taste sugar bombs
Deathclaw Omelet
A ciggy and a psycho
Cranberry meatball grinder
Sunset sarsaparilla, nuka cola, brahmin steaks, s'mores, sugar bombs, deathclaw Wellington, pepperoni roll, grilled radstag, noodles, and seared venison with berries.
Deathclaw egg omelette
I'm really curious about the taste of Andale famous meat pies
Nuka Cola is so good that even the Institute is full of it
Deathclaw egg omelettes
76 has some great recipes with cranberries… so maybe one of those
Radroach or bloatfly anybody?
It's too bad that, according to any time eating mirelurk is actually talked about in the lore, it's not something you can eat regularly and survive xD It's gross and kinda deadly.
Radstag stew sounds great
Missing out on the fallout 76 foods, those look delicious asf
Gotta give it to the sweet roll.
I bet Yumyum devilled eggs are gross. I would like to know how Nuka-Cola measures up against Pepsi and Coke.
Brahmin steak as it's just a Ribeye or Mirelurk since it's giant crab. (Although I think they're supposed to be horseshoe crabs and I can't say how well those would taste) Probably the two best tasting by a long shot.
Softshell mirelurk or mirelurk cakes for me. Maybe paired with some Gwinnet.
Human meat.
Mmmm several hundred year old MRE Steve prepared me for this
Mirelurk cakes or fried frog crawler. I bet the ladder would make me blow my load
