BlamCo Mac & Cheese is a food item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[]

Main article: BlamCo Mac & Cheese

Mac & Cheese is a pre-packaged, highly processed food product found across the wasteland. BlamCo's instant version of the classic macaroni and cheese dish (elbow macaroni with white sauce and cheese) was packed with preservatives and sold in green or blue carton packages, with an EZ-Pull pour spout to make preparation easier.[1] Like most pre-War packaged food, it doesn't have an expiration date,[2] making it one of the choices for supplying troops on the frontlines e.g. the Brotherhood of Steel.[3]

Characteristics[]

It restores 5 hit points but also increases the player character's radiation level by 3 rads. Eating the mac & cheese will increase hit points at the cost of increasing rad count. It is used as an ingredient for brahmin Wellington and the wasteland omelet, and can stave off starvation in Hardcore mode.
