Yeah, it is a Latin staple. Fried it is like French fries (or chips for you Brits) but better. Boiled is ok, but not my favorite.
If you have a Peruvian chicken joint in your area, you should be able to get it there, along with some of the best slow-roasted chicken you ever had.
Sadly there is not a lot of Latin food in my area

Baltimore sucked dog butt to live in and I'd never move back (not that I really wanted to be there in the first place lol) but oh god did Chicken Rico almost single-handedly make up for it.

Yeah, I know it is all the rage up in the NCR and even southern PA.
The first time I had it was in some place attached to a gas station somewhere in between Baltimore and DC and it was amazing!
We have a saying in the south, "the worse the place looks on the outside, the better the food is"

I don't get this at all. I am no kind of hard core grinder, and have no mods at all. But on Day1.....
You do the first quests....points you at trader. Let's presume the trader never has water or gives reward trader. (I'm pretty much always taking craft bundles or 7.52 ammo personally, but whatever)
The first quest they give, go to whatever house and do whatever......look in every cabinet, check every toilet. Collect all the tainted water. You'll need a pot....same as always, likely you'll get one in first 2/3 houses.
Let's presume you hate quests, just go to the houses and do it without a quest. Same thing.
Not seeing the problem. And again, I'm not Reach or anything, I stumble around with a spear doing my best.

Well yes, water scarcity would be game breaking, but as you can see, there is no scarcity of water.
You're off-topic though, this is a discussion about....YUCCA!
So new guy....boiled or fried? What's it gonna be?

In my current "No Traders" playthrough I spawned practically in the middle of nowhere. The two POI's I came across had very little water but I did find a vitamin and a couple of bandages. I popped the vitamin and and drank from a lake until full then healed up a little with the bandages. I even snacked on a few Shamwitches to top off my food. I miss the green Shamwitches from previous alphas, I think they were tastier, lol.
So there is another way to survive the water/food crunch early game. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.....

That's easy.
Code:
<items>
<set xpath="/items/item[@name='apparelNightvisionGoggles']/property[@class='UMA']/property[@name='Mesh']/@value">gear_shades</set>
<set xpath="/items/item[@name='apparelNightvisionGoggles']/property[@class='UMA']/property[@name='Overlay0']/@value">gear_shades</set>

Don't forget about yucca smoothies. You take apart a few ice boxes and you have enough snow for a few stacks of those. Even more water, plus some food and cold resist.
No need to change your mind, more water, plus food, plus cold resist. It is the superior beverage.Yucca juice smoothie is better than pure mineral water.
Change my mind
I make a combination of both though in end game. They are so similar, and role playing reasons don't want just 1 beverage lol.

One side effect of the water thing... cooking. Want to boil an egg or meat, or make cornbread? All early game staples, which are virtually pointless now since just being able to hydrate yourself with gallons of water per day will use all of your water reserves. Cooking has essentially be nerfed due to the water changes.

I think that was an intended consequence of making water a wee bit harder to come by, and that only (again) affects the most earliest of play throughs.
