About this mod
Adds cooking recipes for meats that didn't have any in the vanilla game.
NOTE: FOOD RECIPES ONLY GIVE HUNGER/THIRST, NOT HEALING
- Permissions and credits
There are a few meats in New Vegas that, apparently, no one knows what to do with- giant ants, giant rats, regular rats and radroaches all yield meat that can't be cooked. Additionally, there are gecko eggs, but no recipes to make use of them.
This mod adds recipes for cooking these meats, as well as a new drink that... doesn't add function to any previously useless foods, but I got the idea for it while working on this, so here it is.
I play on hardcore mode with Project Nevada enabled, meaning food items in my game don't heal the Courier, just fill their stomach. As such, I haven't given these recipes any healing bonus. I know there are already mods out there that utilise these meats, but they all create foods that heal the player, and so don't really gel with my game, so I made my own. The one exception to the no healing is one of the drinks I made, Prospector's Go Juice: a disgusting mixture of sarsaparilla, vodka, drugs and fruit, this concoction will keep you going, even if the taste might make you wish you weren't. It heals slightly less HP than a vanilla Sunset Sarsaparilla, and gives a short boost to perception and endurance.
All these recipes can be made at a campfire. Go juice is found in Chems, the rest are in Food.

Credit and thanks to SolarTails- I 'borrowed' the script from their Bottled Water mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34800/ )to recover the bottle after drinking Go Juice, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it working myself. It's a great mod, definitely check it out.
