Bacon Bits are tiny pieces of raw bacon used as a spice in cooking. They are made by cutting a Bacon Strip into 4 pieces with a sharp knife. Each bit is very light and adds a little flavour and hunger to a dish.
Because they count as a spice, Bacon Bits can be added on top of a dish's normal ingredients. They spoil within days, like the bacon they come from. They also work as bait for mouse and rat traps. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A cooked Bacon Bit lowers hunger by just 1. It holds 10 calories with a little protein and fat. On its own it is barely a mouthful.
Raw Bacon Bits are dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. They must be cooked first. They taste better hot and worse cold.
Eating them alone is a poor use of bacon. A single Bacon Strip lowers hunger by 4 and holds 40 calories, the same as four bits. The only reason to cut further is to use them as a spice.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Bacon Bits cook in 15 minutes and burn after 30. They can be cooked in an oven, a microwave or over a fire.
They add 1 hunger to a wide range of dishes. These include Pizza, Omelette, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. They can also go into a Sandwich, a Burger, a Hotdog, a Salad, a Taco, a Burrito or Toast once cooked.
As a spice, Bacon Bits sit outside the dish's ingredient limit. A cook can fill a stew with its full set of ingredients and still add bacon on top. The Cooking skill makes every ingredient go further.
These dishes take Bacon Bits as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming
Bacon Bits make good bait for small traps. They give a 40 percent chance to attract a mouse or a rat.
Trapped animals it lures as bait.
| Animal | Attraction |
|---|---|
| Mouse | 40% |
| Rat | 40% |
Storage
Bacon Bits stay fresh for 3 days and are fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer slows them far more. Cutting bacon into bits only when a dish needs them avoids waste.
Locations
Bacon Bits are made rather than found. One Bacon Strip cut with a sharp knife gives 4 bits. A whole slab of Bacon cuts into 4 strips first, so one slab can become 16 bits.
Notes
- Bacon Bits count as a spice, so they sit on top of a dish's normal ingredients.
- Never eat them raw; cook them first.
- They make good mouse and rat bait, at 40 percent attraction.
- One slab of Bacon becomes 16 bits after two rounds of cutting.
