What do you eat first?
Some of the herbs
Grabbing one of the small jars, the top is quickly unscrewed. Inside are a few stalks of some unknown plant, with several of its leaves attached to each. You grab a few and hastily stuff them into your mouth, quickly recognizing the taste as mint. It's almost a relief- you know that mint is a natural hunger suppressant- and so you grab the entirety of the jar, shoving it into your mouth and barely chewing before swallowing.
A few moments pass, and you're almost certain that nothing has changed. The hunger remains, gnawing away at your strength, seemingly growing stronger by the second. There's really not much to do besides look back for something else to eat.
