Mirelurk cakes

Mirelurk cakes are savory cakes that are made with mirelurk meat. Despite the source material, they are altogether inferior to the original meat, healing only a quarter of the HP and with a rad value one higher. In this sense, they are closer to hatchling mirelurk meat. A recipe for the cakes can be found in the Anchorage Memorial.
==Recipe==
In the Anchorage Memorial, the Lone Wanderer can find Ted's stash containing the recipe for mirelurk cakes. To get it, they must find the necessary door component to unlock the storage room, which has a key to the stash and a holotape on how to find it. The stash itself is hidden in one of the refrigerators on the level beneath the kitchen area. Having the key in the inventory "activates" the stash and generates the items in the fridge. The recipe is not like schematics and it isn't possible to make the cakes even with possession of it.
==Recipe transcript==
==Locations==
Mirelurk cakes can mostly be found with diner merchants. Gary Staley, the owner of Rivet City market diner believes he is something of an expert at making them, although the cakes available at the Galley are exactly the same as everywhere else.
* Six in the Anchorage Memorial's service entrance, and a considerable number in six fridges.
* Two in Bethesda Offices East, on a tin plate at the center of the map.
* One in the Evergreen Mills bazaar, north of the foundry exit.
* One at the flooded metro raider camp, on a counter.
* Two in the Rivet City bow, in Pinkerton's lab.
* Two in the Tenpenny Tower lobby, on a table at Café Beau Monde. They've fallen on to the ground after the ghoul's attack.
* One in the Jefferson Museum and Gift Shop, on Bigsley's desk.
==Notes==
* The recipe makes use of eggs, but does not specify from what kind of animal, an important consideration in a world where chickens are apparently extinct and other animals such as deathclaws can lay eggs. It is possible that the eggs are from the vultures which can be seen from a distance throughout the Capital Wasteland. mirelurks also lay eggs, though game mechanics cause them to lose their "egg identity" when harvested.
* Apparently, mirelurk cakes induce flatulence, as hinted at in a dialogue option with Gary Staley, the owner of the Rivet City diner.
* A few Fallout: New Vegas consumables share the same in-game model and Pip-Boy icon as mirelurk cakes. They are: Ruby's casserole, strange meat pie, and imitation strange meat pie.
* Assuming one substitutes the scrub plant with green onions, and mirelurk meat for crab meat, this recipe can be followed in real life to produce crab cakes.
