InstaMash is a food item found in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
InstaMash is packaged in a white box with blue highlights. It appears to be a form of instant potatoes.
Eating this foodstuff restores 5 Hit Points, but also gives out a small dose of radiation in return. In Hardcore mode it will also eliminate 25 points from Starvation.
It is a required ingredient for making a caravan lunch.
