Raw Snake Meat

The half of a snake kill nobody plans for: you come for the venom and leave with meat too. Raw it hurts, so cook it on the trip and eat it there.

Overview

In-game description
Raw Snake Meat. Eating it will damage your health, try cooking it first.

Count it as trip food. Nobody walks into the jungle for snake meat: you go for the snake venom, and the meat is what the same kill leaves in your hands. No recipe asks for it, and its own text warns that eating it raw damages your health. So until a fire has seen it, the stack does nothing for you.

That shapes the whole trip. Say you and a friend spend an afternoon walking a jungle riverbank, eyes on the grass, and by the third snake your pockets hold more meat than venom. Do not haul it home. Light a small camp fire where you regroup and eat as you go, because cooked snake meat restores some health, hunger and thirst, which is exactly what a jungle afternoon takes out of you.

Watch out

Meat that does reach the base goes off like any other raw meat. A stack forgotten in a wooden box turns into spoiled snake meat, and that one only hurts. Cook it the same evening or put it in a fridge.
