Well... there's pre-war stuff, like Fancy Lads and Sugar Bombs. Usually in tins or boxes. We have a lot of plants out in the wasteland that grow things you can eat, too. Some people keep brahmin and bighorners for their meat and milk. If you're hungry enough, you can eat the things that try to kill you out on the road. Can't say ant or cazador tastes that great, but it's better than starving.
