Summary
AStarfieldfan makes breakfast theStarfieldway by turning their meal into a real-life plate of Chunks.Starfieldis Bethesda’s massive space-set RPG and represents its first crack at an original IP in over 20 years. Reviews leaned mostly positive, with one common complaint being thatStarfieldtakes a little too long to really get going.
WithStarfieldbeing set in the distant future, Bethesda gave itself a blank slate that allowed it to populate the universe with all sorts of silly and quirky fictional brands and products. One suchbrand inStarfieldis Chunks, a food-producing corporation that sells edible treats in cube form, or “chunks” as the company calls them. There is seemingly no limit to the type of food the company is willing to chunk, from cubed apples to cubed cheese steak sandwiches, even cubed cola.

Withfood playing an unexpectedly larger role inStarfieldthan some might have imagined, the mere concept of Chunks has hit amongStarfieldplayers, with one person going so far as to bring Chunks into real life by converting their breakfast into a Chunks-style series of cubes. A member of theStarfieldsubreddit who goes by the name of Euphoric_Ad_2049 posted a picture of their protein-packed breakfast plate. A poached egg, a couple of slices of Spam, and baked beans.
The Spam was likely the easiest part to Chunk, as the luncheon meat comes out as a solid block when it’s shimmied out of its tin. All that’s required from there is to cut it into the proper Chunks-style dimensions. The egg was probably a little trickier, as it looked like it required a very specific mold to give it the right thickness. In the comments, Euphoric_Ad_2049 mentioned that for the egg they used a silicone ice cube tray, presumably the kind for making those large ice cubes usually found in trendy cocktail bars. While Chunks in the game may not be thebest food a player can eat inStarfield, Euphoric_Ad_2049 mentions that this silly picture got them to try Spam for the first time ever and that it wasn’t as bad as they were expecting.
Of course, Euphoric_Ad_2049 didn’t Chunk the beans. A disappointment for sure, but a forgivable exclusion. They could have frozen the beans in one of the aforementioned ice trays or maybe mixed them with a thickening agent like gelatin. But considering they intended to eat this meal, it’s probably for the best that they didn’t turn their baked beans into Jell-O. Chunks is just one of severalsilly gags running through the universe ofStarfield. As many players will discover as they play, the game has already proven itself to contain a universe that can fit silly satirical takes on wild sci-fi visions of the future right alongside touching, sometimes heartbreaking tales of humanity.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
