There are a lot of useless rubbish in Skyrim, I was wondering what to do with it? So, I decide to put them into cookpot and then...eat it. Our character can eat dragon souls, so why he couldn't eat a broom for example? Or any ingot? Or troll skull? Such a diet for noble hero.
 Now, if you as me have endless loot in your pockets, just find cookpot and make something tasty.

ps. if you use mod Dine with followers, your food will appear in the plate, like on my screens.
