Spam Eating
The Spam Eating is an alternative to the in-built mouse version that allows you to eat as fast as possible. It is used when you need to stay at full health.
In order to do that, click on the drop-down menu to choose the food twice to open and close it. You will see the grey area around the button. Now if you press Enter, you should be able to open and close the drop-down menu. Press Shift+Tab to switch the focus to the food itself.
After that, you can press Enter on your keyboard, it will trigger the same action as if you clicked on the food icon yourself. If you hold Enter, you will start eating as fast as the keyboard allows.
You can increase the rate of eating by additionally spamming the mouse clicks on the same area.
