Given the multitudes of Orcs that get slain in the course of an adventure, I would think their rations would show up more in the rations of others.

Would you really trust the food standards of an orc camp though? I prefer my meat without maggots.
I would also be pretty leery of where that meat came from.... "unknown origin" means a corpse.

See, this is exactly the type of systematic bias that keeps Orcs living in the wilds and on the outskirts of civilization, and never enjoying the benefits. Its no wonder they are always so angry and wanting to kill everyone.

Rations for various RPG Races (From wats6831 on /r/RPG)
For anyone around here who is as invested in food as me, the threat that I linked to shows pictures of what someone imagines trail rations to be like for various fantasy races. It's pretty great, here's one example for gnomes:
I'm glad to see they threw in a few coins for the gnomes to gnaw on.

As the possible resident orc here, I am most affronted you think our food has maggots in it.
Orcs eat cooked food. Diced human hearts in a honey glaze would be a delicacy.

Most meat with a glaze or a bar-b-q. Though I suppose, if the maggots are thick enough for the fry pan, waste not. Throw around some peppers, spices and onions and maybe a fresh bit of bread or biscuits and it's a right good meal.

We'd better get used to eating Maggots, insect and the like... They are the foods of the future! and Algae...

Im okay with starving to death in some scenarios.
Not sure if I am quite at the "Yay maggots!" level yet, but I don't mind some fried mantis every now and then. Tastes like popcorn!
As disgusting as it sounds, I bet maggots can be cooked to have a delightful pop when you bite into them.

I might have to brush up on some unusual cooking skills myself, if the storm this weekend is as bad as it's supposed to be. Yay, maggots!

You know, I should have realized before I started it that making an 11x14" colored pencil piece in one day is a bad idea. It took 8 solid hours and now my arm is burning like hellfire. I also need new pencils, since I haven't replaced them since my advanced drawing class last spring. My background color was shaved down to a stub by the end.
Well, they say hindsight is 20/20....

"We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days!"
I'm surprised that no one mentioned that line yet.

I just realized that hindsight is two years from now.
That's the funniest thing I've read since I sat down to write half an hour ago.
