The Mouthwatering Secrets of Starfield's Food Revealed

In Bethesda's Starfield, food plays a significant role just like in Skyrim and Fallout. The game offers a diverse range of meals and treats for the Spacefarer, providing temporary stat boosts, improved health points, and various other benefits and unforeseen drawbacks upon consumption. Unlike its predecessors, Starfield introduces a Gastronomy skill, allowing players to craft their own dishes.

While Bethesda has not disclosed the complete menu, the food in Starfield appears to be a delightful combination of video game classics and intergalactic cuisine. The majority of the dishes resemble familiar everyday meals that one might find at a roadside diner. However, there are a few options that incorporate exotic and potentially alien ingredients. This aligns with the unique hub locations showcased in Bethesda's videos, featuring diners, coffee shops, and upscale bars.

Starfield Promises Culinary Delights From Near and Far

Starfield's controversial Orange Juice of Transcendence promises to be the most refreshing in the Settled Systems. It provides the benefit of plus eight oxygen for five minutes but comes at the cost of one health for one minute. On the peculiar side, there is the Midnight Delight, a snack made from available ingredients. It has no negative effects and restores 5 health.

Among the more exotic options are Alien Jerky and Trilo Bits, small sauteed alien insects served with whipped butter. These dishes restore 15 health points per serving and pair well with Boom Pop! Cola. While synthetic meat is not currently affordable or accessible on Earth, it is commonplace in Starfield. One of the forms it takes is Synthameat Steak, known for its robust flavor but only restoring 3 health points.

Starfield's Food Promises Variety and Reward

In Skyrim, the more satisfying food options include fully prepared meals like the Patty Melt and Ta'Ameya Pita, which restore 15 health points. The Patty Melt is a burger with melted cheese, grilled on toast, and served with "chipped potatoes." On the other hand, the Ta'Ameya Pita consists of two flatbreads filled with falafel and topped with a yogurt sauce. These are the more elaborate meals that have been revealed, while others like the Sandwich and Toast are simpler and only restore 3 health points each.

By acquiring the Gastronomy Novice Social skill, players can create their own food and drinks, as well as explore additional recipes. As players progress and begin experimenting with ingredients and recipes, they will unlock a vast range of culinary options, including the possibility of incorporating alien ingredients scavenged during exploration. Those eager to uncover all the recipes quickly should consider choosing the Chef background in Starfield, granting them a head start in all things related to gastronomy as a Spacefarer.

Investing in the Gastronomy skill is essential, as it allows for the creation of new recipes at outposts. There is also a lucrative cash bonus for crafting these meals; reportedly, selling just 98 Sandwiches can provide enough funds to purchase the Spacefarer's initial spaceship. This skill is not only beneficial for roleplaying purposes but also serves practical reasons. If Starfield is anything like Skyrim, having a few Sandwiches on hand might be the difference between life and death.
