Eyeball
An eyeball is a type of meaty comestible that appears in SLASH'EM, EvilHack, SlashTHEM, and Hack'EM.
The eyeball is the base item for two artifacts: the Eye of the Beholder and The Eye of Vecna.

Generation
Eyeballs are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for and found in bones containing the Eye of the Beholder or Eye of Vecna.
Description
In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, eating an eyeball grants 10 nutrition and takes one turn—attempting to do so will produce a warning prompt asking the player if they are sure they want to, a trait shared with the severed hand.[1]
In EvilHack and Hack'EM, it instead grants 5 nutrition, and does not bring up a prompt unless the hero is eating The Eye of Vecna.
Strategy
Regular eyeballs are not of much use as food due to their minimal nutrition, though eating them does not inflict severe damage as ingesting the artifact eyeballs would (despite the warning prompt still occurring when you do so in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM).[1] Their rarity may make them enticing keepsakes for certain players.
