SpoonyMass Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So there I was, in the arms of hunger. A choice between another can of tomato soup or a can of dog food. The night before I ate tomato soup and now after boredom of the pallet I've chosen dog food. Not that there is anything wrong with tomato soup, but a man can only eat so much before he starts eating the can in the hopes of adding a bit more to the experience. ..., perhaps it's a moot gripe. To be fair I'm warm, I have food, and I'm not going to go completely hungry..., But still there is a demand. A need. And as my thoughts begin to wander and I shovel a bit of the cold dogfood in my maw I suddenly have the notion, a beginning of a craving and further a demand. Noodles. Ramen noodle soup. Chicken. Beef. Hell SHRIMP, I don't care. Takes 3 minutes to boil in water 190 calories per serving and each packet holds two servings that can be eaten out of a mug like a drink. No more canned flavor, protein bars, candy sweet dried yuck. Warmth bonus to boot. I demand noodles. If you want to name them Spoony Noodles I would totally be ok with that. No. Spoony Noodles is just too eh..., Spoodles. Now that's a name that'll sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovehandel Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I agree. If you were to search 1000 Canadian homes and cottages and check an equal number of small town grocery/convenience stores, the number one food found would be Kraft Dinner or a generic equivalent. Canned spaghetti would be a close second. I would also like to nominate the name "Spooneynoodles" . I would buy this. You could use a fork, but we recommend a spoon. It's so delicious you would not want to miss a single drop. (Hungryman slogan iirc) Please don't call them spoodles, sounds like a cross between a Spaniel and a Poodle.

Mel Guille Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion, @SpoonyMass. Are you imagining that including instant ramen would impact your survivor's descisions in some way, or would it be more about building out the world? Also I did an image search for "spoodle" and can confirm that the term is used for some very adorable-looking dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I think it's more of a request for food variation I'd just prefer the option of making soups with my cattails and deer meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just think you could make a stew/soup with Spooneynoodles and add a bit of deer for depth and cattail for color. Top off with some crackers and hey presto! Actually, what I'd really like to see is the option to eat only a portion of something. So like 1/3 of the crackers, that would be cool.

Can't you already eat only a portion of something? I mean, I know it's not something you do prematurely, you have to start eating first, then press esc to cancel eating, right? I do it all the time when food stores start getting low and I only need a few more calories to get me through the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 @DragonXIIII never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeofthetiger Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A pure realism for the sake of realism would be finding sauces like barbecue or sriracha and eating your meat or whatever with them. And then even more ridiculous,have an option to add it to anything, including candy bars or crackers and then when you eat them the character can react differently, like "Man, tastes gross but it's food" or "omggggg so good" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, if you were to stock up for the end of the world, dried noodles seems like it'd be something in a food cache. I'm just glad you found adorable-looking dogs and NOT something..., else.

Labenius Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Add my vote to having noodles (and other foods) if only to build out the world variation. I love tomato soup but too much would add to my "cabin fever" score, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
