Food
Food replenishes your character's hunger level in game. Food can be bought at the general store (a.k.a. Everything shop) or at an eatery or alcohol-serving establishment, food can also be prepared by cooking raw ingredients by use of the cooking skill. This can be made a hotkey, which is very useful for another purpose related to skilling: staying alive.
The "purpose" of food is for enjoyment and skilling. Not staying alive. Unless trying to keep a Pet from death (or possibly Defying, which could lead to one's death, see Ghost).
If one wants to skill, leading to a level, one must eat above starving, to Full or Very Full. One eats about 5 Food units (piece of candy not counted, but chocolate, yes), per R T hour, or 10 in the 24-hour, 2 R T hours, Obie cycle of daily time.
