Description
===========
It bothered me that so often I would see tables laid out with meals, or steaks cooking on grills over the fireplaces, except the meat always looked raw. So I've retextured four of the meats: Beef, boar meat, venison steaks, and mutton, which I think are the ones most likely to be found on dinner plates.

In this version, I've added specular maps to the normal maps, getting the glossiness under control. I'm leaving the first version up for anyone who prefers it shinier.

2008-10-01 addendum: If you would prefer separate "cooked" items instead of replacing all the in-game originals, all my meats, my new strawberry cake and grilled fish steak, and several new items by other authors are now available in a snack bar mod here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20105
