Very small and simple one.

Suggestion:  Change the message log text from "You finish eating some of that **** cut" to "You eat some of that **** cut".

Reason:  Make it clearer to the player that they still have something left to eat in their inventory, or that they do not.

Maybe reword it as:
“You ate some of that * cut/fish/bread/stew/whatnot”

And:
“You ate the * cut/fish/bread/stew/whatnot”

The point is to make it clear to the player whether you finished eating the cut or not, hence the suggestion to use "finish" in only one of the sentences.  I am not convinced that removing the word "finish" altogether would help!

I think many of the texts need reworking into grammatically correct English as well as being clear about what the message is. In this particular case finish should only be used when the item is totally consumed, the message when part of something is enough to satisfy your hunger should be clear that you only ate some of it.
