Cram is a consumable item found in Fallout 3.
Background
Cram is processed meat from before the War,[Non-canon 1] found in blue tin boxes. They were useful rations during World War II, and many NCR troops can be seen with Cram as rations in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
Cram restores 5 Hit Points (6 with the food sanitizer), but also 2 rads of Radiation.
Locations
- Usually found in refrigerators or on shelves.
- some come with the different themes for My Megaton house or Tenpenny Tower suite, though the amount differs for each one.
- 15 boxes of Cram can be obtained from Alphonse Almodovar by siding with him during Trouble on the Homefront.
Behind the scenes
Cram's presentation is a parody of Spam, down to the same style of packaging and font. In Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, it was shown to come in a cardboard box, instead of Spam's signature tin can. In Fallout 4, its container was changed to a tin can full of the meat substance with a pull tab to open the container, further likening it to its real-world counterpart.

- ↑ Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.153: "A tin of processed meat produced in vast quantities pre-War to address food shortages and serve as a meat ration for soldiers. The tin, with an easy-open pull tab, helps keep the contents preserved for long periods, making Cram more useful for survivalists and those scavenging for food"
