Iguana bits are a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Bits are simply cut-up pieces of iguana meat, served in a variety of ways. As iguana meat is stringy,[Non-game 1] it needs to be processed to be edible, with some methods including charring[1] or boiling in carrot broth to make iguana soup.[2] Bits can also be eaten on their own after preparation, with a side of vegetables,[3] or turned into a sandwich.[4][5]
Characteristics[]
Iguana bits restore 5 Hit Points at the expense of increasing radiation count by 3. They are commonly found on dinner plates all across the wasteland, from the various food vendors, or simply laying on the floor.
