Watch: Johnny makes Cook Cook's Fiend Stew from Fallout New Vegas

I've been recreating video game foodstuffs for a number of weeks, now - this episode is the 21st, in fact - and if there's one thing I've learned about video game recipes, it's that they can often be a bit vague.

Of all the ones I've encountered thus far, however, the schematic for Cook Cook's Fiend Stew from Fallout: New Vegas definitely tops the list. There are no cooking instructions whatsoever, and there are just four ingredients - brahmin meat, two beers, a jalapeno and a potato.

Undeterred, I set out to make Cook Cook's Fiend stew into something palatable without messing with the original list of ingredients. You can see how I got on in the video below and, should you feel inspired to make some fiendish stew for yourself, will find the recipe pasted below that.
