  Eat food to restore (or lose) hitpoints.

  Usage: eat <item>

  Each food item heals a specific amount of HP (shown when you
  examine it with "look <item>"). Some items may damage you
  instead — read the description carefully.

  You cannot exceed your maximum HP when eating.
  If you reach 0 HP, you will die as normal.

  Eating has a 3-tick cooldown between uses. During this time you
  cannot eat again — you'll see "You're still digesting your last meal."

  Eating during combat replaces your next attack — instead of hitting
  the mob, you eat. You remain in combat after eating and resume
  attacking on the following tick.

  Eating outside combat cancels any current action (except combat)
  and takes effect on the next tick.
