Chapter Type: System
In a time of half rations, imbuing food properly is valuable. I had even unlocked the Cook ability, Love is Food, which gave me a reserve of points specifically for imbuing food. There was a balancing ability, Food is Love, which allowed me to gain extra nutrition from imbued food.
The problem is, that even though you could imbue food with fatigue, most people just didn't do it. It required time and attention and effort. And, if you didn't have a System method like Omnivore, which allowed you to pick up physical traits in exchange for nutrition (it's a little bit more complicated than that), the difference between nine and twelve nutrition a serving was a matter of a bit of tin.
But I brought that up because I was cooking stuffed duck, a recipe I didn't know. Normally, a person would just reach out to their Culinarian method, pull out a point or four, and add the recipe to their System cookbook. When I reached for those points, I had found them missing.
