Rations, Standard

Bread, dried meat, cheese, fruit bundle for traveler's day of moderate labor.

Standard rations combine bread, dried meat, cheese, and dried fruit into a day’s allotment for a traveler or laborer. The components are less uniform than iron rations and include some softer items that cook faster. A ration feeds one person for a day of moderate activity; eaten over a few meals with water and fire, they provide adequate sustenance without requiring much skill to prepare. Common among merchants, guards, and refugees on the move.
