Foods (MGS3S)

From Metal Gear - Wiki on Neoseeker

The following is a list of all the various foods you can get in the Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence game to eat. Also included is what special uses some of them may have. All of the technical information about the animal will be found at the end of every description so it is easier to skip them if you do not wish to read them. Alot of these animals can be captured alive by using the tranquilizer gun (Mk22) and can sometimes even be used as weapons. In the "Food" Menu, you have 3 cages that are used to keep these animals alive. It will keep them fresh, and provide a better stamina recovery then a adead or rotted animal. To use some of these animals as weapons, go into the "Backpack" Menu and select weapons. Scroll all the way down to where the animals are, and you can select them just as any other weapon. They are most effective when they are alive. For example, you can scare enemies away by throwing a living Reticulated Python at them.

To capture a live Reticulated Python, use your Mk22 to put it to sleep and capture it in one of your three cages (if empty). To equip the snake, go to your "Backpack" and go to "Weapon". Go to the bottom, and this is where your food will be at. Equip the Python as you would any other weapon. The Reticulated Python is the longest snake in the world. It can grow up to 10 meters in length. They are native to Southeast Asia. They can swallow large animals like deers and pigs whole! They are not poisonous, but have a highly ferocious temperament. You can identify a Reticulated Python by the mesh pattern of their scales. The pattern acts as a highly effective natural camouflage, so be careful or you will be bit.

[edit] Siberian Ink Cap

The Siberian Ink Cap can be found at the very beginning of the game. It gives you barely noticeable stamina recovery, it tastes disgusting. Naturally, it is a mushroom from the ink cap family. Its life cycle is transitory, meaning that as soon as the spores mature, the cap starts to turn black, liquefies, and melts away. In its immature state (before it melts away) it is valued as a source of food. Do not ever eat them whle drinking alcohol though. Ink Caps contain coprin, which inhibits the function of aldehyde dehydrogenase, which prevents the body from breaking down alcohol, causing a buildup of acetaldehyde, meaning it will give you one hell of a hangover.

The Tree Frog can be found at the very beginning of the game. They give you barely noticeable stamina recovery, they taste terrible. You can scare enemies if you throw a live one at them. The Tree Frog is a green frog that is found throughout Asia. It is arboreal, meaning it will spend most of its time in shrubs and bushes. The Tree frogs that live in the jungle that you start out in are a lot bigger than ordinary tree frogs. This is probably due to a mutation caused by nuclear testing and waste from the nearby research facility.
