Tinning

[Argus]

So this might be a little too far along the technology curve for this game, but we do have sausage grinders...

Tinning: as in putting meat into tins for storage. Now, granted, food going bad isn't a mechanic of HnH; but here's how it'd work:

It takes 2 of the same kind of meat, raw or roasted, and one nugget of tin or copper. The result is 'tinned X meat' (tinned beef, tinned rabbit meat, etc).

Mechanically, the quality is capped by survival, and is determined by the sum of the quality ratings of the meat and the tin, divided by 2. Tinned meat also gives +10 hunger when eaten and an FEP boost.

Yeah, I wanna make Spam in HnH. What of it?

So, you put this meat in a tin, and then you take it out of the tin when you want to eat it? Or do you just eat the tin as well?

Don't see the point really.

I think canning (as in glass kilner jars; "tin can" is a neologism) for jams, pickles and preserves is more appropriate for the time period.

Maybe food items could be split into savoury/sweet, and jams act like pepper but only for sweet things. Savoury foods give more 10% more feps for the first half of the bar, sweet ones 10% more for the last half.

EDIT: it turns out it's not part of the time period at all, never mind that justification.

jams in glass jars sounds tasty)
Acting like a pepper or adding a particular FEP to sweet food or cooking some jam sandwiches with white bread loaf (for ex: 5 per loaf+jam jar)
Anyway will do. +1 to jam idea.
