Meals are your primary food that you will care about. You’ll always want a meal that benefits your character. All meals last 3600 seconds (one real-time hour, or about 6 in-game hours with Requiem's default timescale).
All of the soups/stews/bisques can be made into a "hot" variant at a cookpot with fire salts. These are stronger and give 25% more of the effects.
Snacks are smaller foods that give smaller benefits for a shorter duration than meals. All snacks last 900 seconds.
Raw food can consist of raw meats or vegetables. These are generally only used as cooking ingredients
Weak alcoholic drinks are similar to meals in that you may want one up at all times. They will always give 2-3 positive and 1 negative effect. Generally the negative effect lasts 50% longer than the positive effect.
Positive effects: health, stamina regeneration, magicka regeneration
Negative effect: armor rating, stamina regeneration, movement speed
Strong alcoholic drinks override meals and shouldn’t be used often. They mostly give massive bonuses to health.
Non-alcoholic drinks grant regeneration and do not stack with weak alcohol.Â
Milk: Grants 30% magicka regeneration for 15 minutes
Water: Grants 15% stamina regeneration for 15 minutes
Note: none of the food effects of the same category stack. For example: eating a second meal while you already have one active will cause the effects of your original meal to dispel. This does not apply to the detriments from alcohol, those will stack.
