Kind of amazing that a hurthling can eat 1000 stones of food
at one setting, yet still wiegh as much as a small dog.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
And seeing that one only provides enough nutrition for five hours of dungeon exploration...
A normal troll will consume almost 100kg of iron rations a day, that's in the vicinity of an elephant's food intake.
I assume that large rations are not so much actual rations of actual food, but small bales of straw. With medievalish technology, those could be rather incompletely threshed, so you could still pick maybe a quarter pound of grains out of such a bale. Why they get sold as 'food' just shows how incredibly stingy the inhabitants of Terinyo are.
Or the fact a non-troll can starve to death in a few hours. People have been able to go months without food.
I always imagined that there was 3 stones of food,
incased in 197 stones of wrapping, but that's probably
based on how the stores sell food products these days.

You hit Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, and severely wound him.
The greater balor summons some help!
The ratling duelist disarms you. You drop your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12]. It flies to the west.
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, picks up the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, wields the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
You eat rations, your hungry again an hour later.

I think they're made out of rat tails and fat worm.
Your armor weakens, oh my!
I like the bales of straw theory, but where do loaves of bread get all their weight? Does each loaf come with the mortar, pestle, and oven used in producing it?
