Food

Food, in RuneScape, is what enables the player to regain hitpoints, although some foods may have other effects as well. Food can be obtained through the Cooking skill, as a drop from certain monsters, from some random events such as the Sandwich Lady random event, from other players, or from non-player characters.

There are several kinds of food, such as fish and meat, bread, cakes, pies, and even pizza. Some foods, such as pies, cakes and pizzas, have two or more "bites" or "slices". There are also foods which grows from the ground such as potatoes, cabbages, and onions; those items can be put into baskets and sacks. There are also special foods such as spinach roll and baguette gained from random events. Lastly, there are holiday items food such as pumpkin and easter egg. It is strongly recommended that a player does not eat holiday items, as some are rare and extremely valuable.

Some foods have effect on skills other than hitpoints. For example, wine makes your hitpoints go up, though it has a downside. If a player drinks a jug of wine and then goes to the skills tab, it can be seen that the player's attack level temporarily decreased, while the strength level increased. The negative effect eventually wears off, though, and the affected stat is back to normal within some time. Most of such effects do not stack.

Here are some common foods. A complete list of cooked foods can be found in the Cooking skill page.
