Hi Sam,
Many thanks for the detailed comments and bug report!

In Section 321 (meal with the captain):
http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/02fotw/sect321.htm
the meal was poor, so if you don't want to lose 2E points, you have to
eat again ("Unless you have food in your Backpack").
In Section 154 (meal with the crew):
http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/02fotw/sect154.htm
the meal is also poor (-2E) but you don't have the option of eating
one of your Meals.. I don't know if that was intended, but that's how
my engine literally interprets it.

That must be Section 148:
http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/02fotw/sect148.htm
and you're right: I forgot that one (maybe a bug in my XML extraction
tool), but it's now corrected.
About the Meals and the "eat" command: I'm thinking that I should drop
"eat" as an explicit command, and rather unify it with "use", to
prevent possible confusion in the few sections where you have to
actually eat.. It's true that it makes it less natural, but since you
already have to "use a Potion" (and cannot "drink" it).. what do you
think?

Do you mean a "Combat Ratio" of -4? (as opposed to CS being -4 in the
Action Chart? And could you point out in which section you feel there
was something strange?
Thanks again,
Christian
