This Is Either A Really Cold Take Or Extremely Controversial One But I Think Both Pre- And Post-war Fallout

this is either a really cold take or extremely controversial one but i think both pre- and post-war fallout should be weirder about food. sure pre-war we saw a lot of predictable 50's shit like tv dinners and novelty fast/frozen foods coming about, but i also think there was absolutely a continuation of the trend of deranged midcentury foods that cropped up in america. and that should continue in post-war because there's a lot of the same forces at play, except instead of the novelty of new food sources and storage methods, it's a scarcity. and frankly even by the time the bombs were about to drop, it's implied that supply chains were breaking down, rationing was kicking in, and resources were drying up in the states, so even more reason for that to still be culturally rooted down. throwing some of your limited remaining production capacity into making marshmallow fluff so people can continue to make their weird salads as is their god-given right as americans, even as cars run out of fuel and folks riot in the streets. is that anything.

there should be more insane improvisation, making casseroles or salads out of literally whatever you find that's edible. wastelanders figuring out how to make aspic again. combinations that have no business tasting good together but they manage to. sure i am also in favor of people trying to replicate GOOD old world foods and recreate things like seasonings but. more weird cooking

please help there's gotta be at least person in this fandom with historical culinary autism who understands my vision and can elaborate

I think, considering Bennys whole melee build, he’s absolutely physically thrown a gambler out of the tops at least once

Benny does that things to the drunks and hooligans that won’t leave where he grips their collar super tight and talks to them all nice/condescending and it’s scary as hell cause it feels like he’s trying to break it.

But he’s also got that pretty boy baby face and it’s so many conflicting emotions inside the person he’s menacing. He’s just not allowed by House to actually beat someone up so he’s like waiting for a chance to say self defense.

Wish he had a youtube channel

Honestly, if Raul came across Cooper Howard I think within two minutes he’d be like ‘hey, aren’t you that gringo who did all those shitty cowboy movies?’ and then it would just be two old ghoul men fighting. Which is beautiful, but they’re both too old for that shit no matter how many chems Coop takes on the daily. Besides, Raul would win.
