I reckon if I was hungry enough I would go all 'Snake Eater' (Metal Gear Solid 3) on something edible. Be it Frog, Rat or Ant. And most forget that if you are not lucky, you kinda do get that hungry in the Wilds of the Hearth. The truth of the matter, is not that it should be Frog Legs with a French Accent. Its more like Frogs, its whats for dinner. Breakfast and Lunch too if I don't find me something proper...

Make eating these foods deal SHP damage or something, to represent the distaste of someone being forced to eat something like that, and when you reach a certain point, you Vomit from it. This would make it a good food source but not a staple...

But frog legs are delicious. They taste like chicken, only better. Trust me, once you've tried them, you'd never be disgusted by them again. Snails too, but they're more like liver than chicken.

But we are talking bout a nation of people that have never heard of the French method of eating a frog. Really...

My method of eating frogs consisted of impaling them on a stick and roasting them on light fire for 10-15 minutes, no salt or anything. And they were still delicious.

Hahaha, well there you go. Thats eating a Frog in the proper way...

You know I had a thought, instead of these stupid little, things, that run around and become nuisances we look at bringing in other things that can use some of the unused or slightly used skills and traits...

What about different berry bushes which a player may 'RAVAGE' and consume a good amount of Hunger or some FEP, but the bush 'dies' and is unable to be collected. Wolf and Juniper Berries come to mind for European berries and such. A very low Exploration/Perception Rating to find these bushes...

What about different kinds of tools, like Snares, which can be set and catch a rabbit for you. Set a few around your camp and in the morning (IG or RL) you come back to them with a rabbit for the roasting. Make it with this root thing...

Or heck add in other small animals that are native to Europe...

A use for Rats would be something like Food Decay, if Rats are around your Foodstorage, the food inside decays, this forces food like Bread to be used/sold quickly or store efficiently, same for the grains...

Frogs, proper Fishing Bait. Using Low Qual fishmeat for bait aswell would be a good idea...

Basicly there can be more uses and additives to the game that are not all that game changing. So what you can't gather Berries for trade, its not like it matters, the damn things are only really useful for those that are in the wilds and can't get food easily. (Hunters/Newbs)...
