Cram is a food item found in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
Background[]
Cram is processed meat that was produced in large quantities before the War in easy-open pull tab tins. In their distinctive blue tins, they were meant to address food shortages in the United States as well as provide a meat ration for soldiers serving during the Sino-American War. Because of Cram's long shelf-life assisted by excessive preservatives, it's still edible over 200 years later and is useful to both survivalists and NCR troops, who can be found with Cram as rations in Fallout: New Vegas.[Non-game 1]
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 tin, with an easy-open pull tab, helps keep the contents preserved for long periods, making Cram more useful for survivalists and those scavenging for food"
