A food ration is the most basic comestible in NetHack. Many roles start out with a number of these. Samurai know them as gunyoki. They provide enough nutrition to fill you when you are hungry. They are also suitable for vegans.

Note that a lembas wafer provides the same nutrition as a food ration but is much lighter.

Food rations may be thrown at cats or dogs to tame them.
