Iguana bits

Iguana bits are a consumable item in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. 
In Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, the naming changed and bits is a term referring to loose iguana meat, while iguana-on-a-stick now refers to the meat skewer formerly known as iguana bits. This page lists both.
==Background==
Bits are simply cut-up pieces of iguana meat, served in a variety of ways. As iguana meat is stringy,The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook, p. 29 it needs to be processed to be edible, with some methods including charringPRO ITEM.MSG: "{10300}{}{Iguana-on-a-stick}""{10301}{}{Some charred meat and vegetables on a cooking stick.}"Note: Present in both Fallout and Fallout 2. or boiling in carrot broth to make iguana soup.Iguana soup Bits can also be eaten on their own after preparation, with a side of vegetables,Zimmer: "Did I order already? If I didn't, I'd like Iguana Bits with vegetables."Mister Buckingham: "Your food will be ready shortly, Mister Zimmer."(Rivet City conversations; Zimmer and Mister Buckingham's dialogue) or turned into a sandwich.Allistair Tenpenny: ""Margaret Primrose: ""Allistair Tenpenny: ""(Tenpenny Tower conversations; Allistair Tenpenny and Margaret Primrose's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Tell me about Allistair Tenpenny."Margaret Primrose: "Every day it's the same thing. The man has no imagination with his meals. "(Margaret Primrose's dialogue) 
As bits do not look like an iguana, any other meat can be used in this place. This was abused by the famous Iguana Bob of the Hub around 2161, who served "prime select" pieces sourced from human remains.The Vault Dweller: "{234}{}{I think we need to talk about Doc Morbid and some of your secret ingredients.}"Iguana Bob Frazier: "{153}{}{What are you talking about?}"The Vault Dweller: "{154}{}{Your secret ingredients. How fresh does the corpse have to be before it develops a bitter aftertaste? Do you use mutants, humans, or a mix?}"(Iguana Bob Frazier's dialogue)The Vault Dweller: "{106}{}{I want information on Doc Morbid.}"Iguana Bob Frazier: "{125}{}{Doc Morbid? All I know is that he's up around Junktown and he's the cheapest source of food I could find. That's all!}"(Iguana Bob Frazier's dialogue) The charred meat with vegetables was available for just 8 caps, as opposed to 20 for the whole iguana,The Vault Dweller: "{107}{}{Gimme' an iguana on a stick.}"Iguana Bob Frazier: "{142}{}{Sure. We got whole iguana on a stick for twenty bucks, and our prime select pieces for eight bucks.}"(Iguana Bob Frazier's dialogue) and were extremely popular, while Bob's culinary skills made them some of the best charred iguana in New California.The Vault Dweller: "{1056}{}{Iguana}"Butch Harris: "{1133}{butch108}{Now there's some good eating. Bob's has got the best charred iguana this side of the desert.}"(Butch Harris' dialogue) His secret never got out and 80 years later, his son would continue selling lizard kebabs at the NCR capital, sharply dressed and stylish.Mikey Frazier's character description: "{100}{}{You see a sharp-dressed guy hawking lizard kebabs.}""{102}{}{For a lizard-on-a-stick vendor, this guy's got style. He's clean, well-dressed and runs a pretty spotless little operation.}"(Mikey Frazier's dialogue)
