[font=Georgia][size=3]Food and intoxicants have several improvements in [b][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19281]Requiem - The Oldschool Roleplaying Overhaul[/url][/b], though in some cases there's still inconsistency, lack of compelling usefulness, and a holdover of randomly generated instant death mechanics in skooma.

Requiem - Classic Food and Drink (R-CFD)[/size][/font][/b][/color], also known as the [b][color=#ea9999]I Can't Believe It's Possible to Buy Butter [/color][/b]mod, is intended to fix the above issues, while attempting to [size=3]change the least amount necessary from classic [b]Requiem[/b] to achieve improved balance, immersion, and (hopefully) fun.[/size]
[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]
For all versions of [b]Requiem[/b] from [b]1.7[/b] to [b]3.1.x[/b].

You can buy butter. You can craft honey from honeycomb and water. Bottled milk is returned to all of it's classic Requiem locations, is used for all Bestial Stews, and you can now craft it from a jug of milk and salt.
[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]In recent versions of base [b]Requiem[/b], most food buffs have their durations drastically reduced -from 7200 seconds (in [font=Georgia][size=3][b]Requiem 1.9.4.1[/b])- to 1800 seconds. Some reduction could work well to give more of a sense of hunger, but this[/size][/font] turns up to 11 how frequently the PC needs to farm/slaughter/buy and recook ingredients for decent food buffs early to mid-game.[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]

[*]A PC is now better incentivized to choose between differently balanced options for [color=#ffe599]stews, cooked meats, bread, [color=#ffffff]and[/color] cheese [/color]depending on context, and to have a well balanced diet to combine the different buffs between different food groups.

[*][font=Georgia][size=3][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]For better food continuity, most [color=#ffe599]fruit, vegetables[/color], and [color=#ffe599]water[/color] now fortify [color=#ffe599]Stamina[/color], while [color=#ffe599]tomatoes[/color] fortify [color=#ffe599]Magicka [color=#ffffff]regeneration[/color][/color]. Uncooked [color=#ffe599]vegetables[/color] provide 1800 seconds of minor [color=#ffe599]Fortify Stamina[/color]. Cooked [color=#ffe599]vegetables[/color] provide moderate [color=#ffe599]Fortify Stamina[/color], and [color=#ffe599]vegetable[/color] based soups provide either greater [color=#ffe599]Fortify Stamina[/color] ([color=#ffe599]Cabbage[/color] or [color=#ffe599]Potato [color=#ffffff]soup[/color][/color]), or 1 [color=#ffe599]Stamina[/color]/second restoration ([color=#ffe599]Apple Cabbage, Vegetable[color=#ffffff],[/color] [color=#ffffff]or [/color]Cabbage Potato [color=#ffffff]soup[/color][/color]) all for 3600 seconds.

[/size][/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]A gourmet cooking mechanic is integrated into [color=#e69138][b]R-CFD[/b][/color]. This requires having a copy of the book [color=#ffe599]Uncommon Taste[/color] in the PC inventory as a cookbook reference, which opens up several gourmet cooking options with greater buffs when using a [color=#ffe599]cooking pot[/color]. This solves the oftentime made player complaint that food in base [b]Requiem[/b] is too expensive when compared to the cost of purchasing the Whiterun player home. Vendors don't sell gourmet food, so a PC will no longer see extremely high food prices sold by NPCs. Now [color=#ffe599]Meats[/color] and [color=#ffe599]Stews[/color] sold in taverns (and always available to be cooked by the PC) are inexpensive and provide moderate [color=#ffe599]Carry Weight[/color] buffs. In order to cook foods with greater buffs (similar to the buff for [color=#ffe599]Beef Stew[/color] in base [b]Requiem[/b]), the PC must cook -and be able to cook- gourmet foods.[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3]

[*]Gourmet meal variations include [color=#ffe599]Boar, Beef, Chicken, Goat Leg, Horker, Mudcrab Legs, Pheasant, Rabbit, Salmon, Venison, Tomato[/color], and all vanilla [color=#ffe599]meat[/color] based stews (except [color=#ffe599]Beastial Stew[/color]). Non-gourmet [color=#ffe599]meat[/color] based stew recipes no longer require expensive or rare alchemy ingredients, but provide lesser buffs for 3600 seconds. Gourmet [color=#ffe599]meat[/color] based stew recipes now require the better respective alchemy ingredients from the base [b]Requiem[/b] variations, and provide stronger buffs for 3600 seconds.

[*]Several Gourmet dishes are sold at the Winking Skeever in Solitude. The Nightgate Inn has a small assortment of gourmet dishes as well.

[/size][/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=3][color=#ffe599]Bestial Stew[/color] is brought back to it's classic recipe for all versions of Requiem using this mod. All locations classically containing Bottled Milk are preserved in R-CFD, and the PC can now craft Bottled Milk with a Jug of Milk and Salt. Bestial Stews have been expanded to include variations involving [color=#f9cb9c]Bear Hearts, Sabre Cat Hearts, Horker Fat, Troll Fat, Briar Hearts,[/color] and [color=#f9cb9c]Mammoth Hearts[/color]. Each variant provides different buffs, all lasting 3600 seconds.

A PC is no longer restricted to only finding/buying [color=#ffe599]Ale[/color] to make [color=#ffe599]Healing Balm[/color], and the various alcohols are relatively common. NPCs will still only carry [font=Georgia][size=3][font=Georgia][size=3][color=#ffe599]Healing Balm (Deficient)[color=#ffffff]. This[/color][/color][/size][/font][/size][/font] can be explained by the various forms of [color=#ffe599]Wine[/color] being more expensive than [font=Georgia][size=3][font=Georgia][size=3][color=#ffe599]Ale [color=#ffffff]or[/color] Nord Mead[/color][/size][/font][/size][/font], and commoners/bandits aren't going to have extra money and resources to throw around for such things.
