Cheese is a type of fleshy commestible that appears in SLASH'EM, SpliceHack, SlashTHEM, and Hack'EM.

Generation

In addition to random generation, cheese can be found in delicatessen shops.

Description

Eating a cream pie confers 250 nutrition, and breaks vegan conduct while preserving vegetarian conduct despite being fleshy.[1]

Cheese can be used to tame the various rats encountered in the dungeon by throwing it at them, which may be the reason it is considered fleshy.[2]

Strategy

At a weight of 2 aum, cheese has a nutrition/weight ratio second only to the lembas wafer, and non-vegan characters may consider it worth hanging on to. Cheese may also have some corner uses in taming rats, e.g. to avoid a potential death as a pacifist.

Origin

Cheese in the pre-modern age was generally made using rennet extracted from dried calves' stomachs, which is not considered acceptable to consume for many modern vegetarians.
