Bad Food

Bad Food is any type of food item that has a negative effect when consumed. This has the effect of causing the item to be worthless most of the time or damaging a player who is not paying attention to the description of the item and accidentally uses it. The effects can be to cause the Poison status or to reduce HP or MP. Many games have a way to overcome the ill effects of Bad Food, causing a minor or major benefit instead. Bad Food can also be removed from the inventory in some games by selling it for a very low price. Most bad food resembles a particular "good food" in the game.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
The Toadstool (known as Aminata muscara in Japanese versions) is the original Bad Food item. The Saturn version also has Smelly Rice. Bad Food in this game causes the Poison status. Because the Topaz Circlet in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night causes poison damage to increase health, consuming a Bad Food while wearing one does not cause poison and instead raises HP by one, which is the only way to get rid of such an item.
===Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow===
The effect of these items can be reversed by equipping Flesh Golem soul in Aria of Sorrow and Ghoul soul in Dawn of Sorrow.
===Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow===
===Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin===
Bad food reduces HP in both games, depending on the type of food it is.
===Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia===
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
Bad food reduces either HP or MP in this game, depending on the type of food it is.
