Cram is a food item found in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4.
Background
Cram is processed meat from before the War, found in blue cardboard boxes. They were useful rations during World War II, and many NCR troops can be seen with Cram as rations in Fallout: New Vegas.
Variants
Cram
Commonly found in houses around the wasteland, Cram restores 5 hit points but also gives you a small amount of radiation in the form of 3 rads. In Fallout: New Vegas, it is used in the recipe for caravan lunch and fire ant fricassée.
Behind the scenes
- Cram's presentation is a parody of Spam, down to the same style of packaging and font. In Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, it was shown to come in a cardboard box, instead of Spam's signature tin can. In Fallout 4, its container was changed to a tin can full of the meat substance with a pull tab to open the container, further likening it to its real-world counterpart.
- The name cram itself is likely a reference to the biscuit-like food made by the humans of Lake-town and Dale in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Unlike Cram, it was made with tightly pressed flour or meal.
