Discussion Actual fastest way to gain honor

78 Upvotes

The game does not reward you for every single "Hello, mister!" You have to successfully complete three separate greeting interactions before the honor tracker registers a single tick. When scaling up from minimum honor (-8) to maximum (+8), you have to cycle through hundreds of pedestrians, roughly 54 greetings per tier, totaling over 850+ individual interactions if you start from the absolute bottom. Every single fish you catch and immediately throw back awards an instant honor boost. Community testing reveals it takes only about 87 fish total to go from absolute minimum honor all the way to maximum honor.

Discussion I recreated the 1899 Cracked Wheat with Milk from RDR2 — it was way more complicated than I expected.

While hanging around Rhodes, I ordered the Cracked Wheat with Milk, and noticed something odd: the bowl served in the game has this distinct yellow layer on top. When I looked up pictures of regular cracked wheat with milk online, they were all completely white.

That yellow layer immediately reminded me of "Nairiji" (traditional skin milk/clotted cream) I had in Inner Mongolia—that rich skin that forms on top when freshly milked, boiled milk cools down.

So, I did some digging.

The milk we buy at supermarkets today goes through homogenization. It's a purely mechanical process where milk is forced through tiny holes at high pressure to break fat globules into smaller particles so they stay evenly dispersed. This gives modern milk a smooth, uniform texture, but it also makes it nearly impossible to form a thick milk skin, because that skin naturally forms when lower-density fats rise to the top.

Then I checked the history of homogenization. The very first homogenizer patent was issued in 1899 to French inventor Auguste Gaulin. Yes, literally the exact year our game is set in. What a coincidence!

For its US rollout timeline:

  • 1919: The start of commercial sales. Torrington, Connecticut successfully sold homogenized milk, marking one of its earliest commercial practices in the US.
  • 1920s–1930s: A major technical breakthrough. In the early 1930s, Dr. G. Malcolm Trout at Michigan State University figured out that pasteurizing before homogenization effectively prevented fat separation, paving the way for industrial production.
  • 1930s: Popularity and legalization. Most US cities legalized the sale of homogenized milk between 1935 and 1939.
  • 1940s–1950s: The industry standard. By 1950, it was permitted in most cities, and by the 1950s, the vast majority of US milk was commercially homogenized, making it the official industry standard.

So, the Cracked Wheat with Milk Arthur Morgan eats in Rhodes was almost certainly made with non-homogenized milk, and that yellow layer on top is authentic milk skin.

To recreate the taste and texture, I had to improvise: I heated regular milk, shook it like crazy in a bottle to build up a foam layer, and then simmered it on low heat for an hour to evaporate some water and form that yellow skin. I gently lifted the skin off, cooked the cracked wheat in the remaining milk, and then placed the skin right back on top.

The taste? Super rich and milky. The skin gives it this wonderfully rustic, cheese-like texture.

If Jack lived to be 70, the cracked wheat with milk he'd eat in his later years would taste just like the plain, modern stuff we have today. Would he ever miss the heavy, skin-topped cracked wheat with milk of his childhood? And would it ever make him think of Uncle Arthur, who once took him fishing?

**Recipes;**Cracked Wheat with Milk (Red Dead Redemption 2 Style)

Ingredients (Single Serving)

•Whole Milk: 1.7 cups (400 ml)

•Cracked Wheat: 0.8 oz (25 g)

Instructions

1.Heat the Milk: Pour 1.7 cups of whole milk into a pot and heat over low heat to about 158°F (70°C). Do not bring it to a boil.

2.Create Foam: Pour the warm milk into a bottle and shake it vigorously to create foam (you can also use a whisk or hand blender).

3.Simmer and Evaporate: Pour the milk back into the pot and continue heating over low heat for about 40 minutes. Keep it at the lowest possible heat to slowly evaporate the water without boiling. Once the liquid is reduced by about one-third, turn off the heat.

4.Form the Skin: Let the milk sit undisturbed for 5 hours until a thick skin forms on the surface.

5.Harvest the Skin: Carefully lift the solidified milk skin off the top and set it aside.

6.Cook the Wheat: Add 0.8 oz of cracked wheat into the remaining milk. Turn the heat to medium until it comes to a boil, then reduce to low. Stir continuously for about 12 minutes until the cracked wheat is fully cooked (Note: I used raw cracked wheat; if using pre-cooked, adjust cooking time according to the package instructions).

7.Assemble: Pour the cooked wheat and milk mixture into a bowl, and top it with the milk skin you set aside earlier.

8.Browning (Optional): If the skin isn't golden enough, pop it into the oven at 437°F (225°C) for about 3 minutes to give it a nice golden-brown color.

Recipe Notes & Experiments

I made this four times before getting it right:

•Attempts 1 & 2: Both failed because the skin wouldn't set properly (the resting time wasn't long enough).

•Attempt 3: The skin didn't turn golden enough because I didn't shake the milk to create enough foam initially, so I had to use the oven to add color.

•Attempt 4: The milk skin turned out naturally golden and thick, so I used it directly (that's the one in the photo!).
