A rough linen pouch tied with sinew: a slab of dried chitterskale jerky, a handful of roasted sand beetle legs, and a chew of cactus brittle. Fills stomach for a day.

A patched burlap bag containing meal pinched from caravans — sometimes flour, sometimes grit. Useful for trading or baking when sieved.

A small tin of crunchy, metallic-salty spice ground from cactus blooms and old caravan salt. Skritch insists it 'keeps meat from thinking'.

A small vial of acrid pickling liquid. Goblin cooks use it to turn questionable meat into 'delicacy'.

A steaming, pulpy stew made from mashed dune succulents boiled with scrap meat. Poisonous to most species but not to goblins who prepare it. Gives a warming, thirsty-scraping sensation.

A thick broth made by boiling chitterskale bones until the marrow dissolves. It tastes of iron and sand and makes you think of running.

Crunchy, briny beetles preserved in spice vinegar. Sold in mismatched jars; sometimes contains a tooth or small trinket from a raid.

A strip of stringy lizard meat, smoked over ember-sand. Tough and sinewy but nourishing; local goblins prefer it raw.

Small chewy confections made from boiled cactus pulp and honeyed caravan sugar. Sweet, mildly hallucinogenic in large doses.

A bitter, sparkling infusion boiled in a hastily patched kettle. Keeps you awake and dulls certain aches.

A compact, greasy cube containing compressed jerky, spice tin, a beetle jar sample, and a smear of broth gel. Made for skiff raids and dire travel.
