.: Help for eat

The eat command eats an item you carry (if it is edible).

Food that has been left too long may spoil and become inedible.
If the food has gone bad, you will be unable to eat it and must
discard it.

You cannot eat while grappled — both hands are committed. Free
yourself first. Eating also has to wait while you are focused on
crafting, salvaging, or casting.

If something else in your pack shares the food's name, eat
reaches for the edible one.

Usage: 

  eat sandwich
  This would eat your sandwich.
