A Bacon Strip is a single raw rasher of bacon, cut from a whole slab with a sharp knife. It weighs 0.1 and is a handy size for sandwiches, burgers and breakfasts. It must be cooked before it is safe to eat.
One slab of Bacon gives 4 strips, which spreads the meat across more meals. A strip can also be cut again into Bacon Bits for use as a spice. Strips spoil within days, like the slab they come from. 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 Strip lowers hunger by 4. It holds 40 calories, with 2.5 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fat. One strip is a small bite rather than a meal.
Raw strips are dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. They must be cooked first. They taste better hot and worse cold, so they are best eaten straight from the pan.
Four strips together hold the same 160 calories as a whole slab of Bacon. They lower hunger by 16 in total, while the uncut slab lowers it by 12. Cutting the slab first gets more out of the same meat.
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
A Bacon Strip cooks in 15 minutes and burns after 35. It can be cooked in an oven, a microwave or over a fire.
Each strip adds 4 hunger to any dish it goes into. Raw strips can go into Pizza, an Omelette, Stew, Pie and Stir Fry. A Sandwich, a Burger, a Hotdog, a Salad, a Taco, a Burrito or Toast only take a cooked strip. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.
A sharp knife cuts one strip into 4 Bacon Bits. The bits act as a spice, so they can be added on top of a full dish.
These dishes take the Bacon Strip as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
A Bacon Strip stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer slows them far more. Cutting strips only when they are needed keeps the rest of the slab in the freezer.
Locations
Bacon Strips are made rather than found. The Cut Bacon into 4 Strips recipe turns one slab of Bacon into 4 strips. It needs a sharp knife, which is kept.
Notes
- Never eat a Bacon Strip raw; cook it first.
- Four strips fill hunger better than one uncut slab of Bacon.
- Strips fit sandwiches and burgers, where the whole slab adds only the same 4 hunger.
- Cut a strip into Bacon Bits to use it as a spice.
