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

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.
