Meat

When you kill an animal, you will be rewarded with some meat, the amount of which depends on the animal's size.

This meat is not edible before it is processed into grilled meat, cooked meat, smoked meat, salted meat or meat jerky.

When left on the ground outside of a building, raw meat rots at a fast rate.
