A Biscuit is a small baked bread made from flour and baking soda that can be eaten on its own or dropped into a soup or stew. It is very light at 0.1 weight, so a handful costs almost nothing to carry. On its own it is a snack rather than a meal. Its real strength is its calories, which are high for its size.
A Biscuit goes stale fast and is rotten within a few days. Biscuits are found in restaurant displays, cafeteria counters and fast food kitchens. A cook can also bake a tray of Biscuits and split it into six single biscuits. 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
Eating a Biscuit lowers hunger by 5. It holds 160 calories, with 22 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of fat and only 1 gram of protein. That is a lot of energy for a 0.1 weight item. A few biscuits a day help a thin character put weight back on.
The low protein means a Biscuit does little for a diet on its own. It pairs best with meat or fish, which bring the protein it misses.
A Muffin is the nearest baked alternative. A Muffin lowers hunger by 7 and also cheers the character up, but it holds only 120 calories. A Biscuit fills less yet gives more energy per bite.
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 Biscuit adds 5 hunger to a Soup or a Stew. It is a weak filler next to vegetables or meat, but it turns spare biscuits into part of a bigger meal. Adding stale biscuits to a pot is a good way to use them before they rot.
Biscuits start as a full tray. The Prepare Biscuits recipe mixes flour, salt, baking soda, a baking fat and water in a bowl and pours it into a Muffin Tray. Once the tray is baked, the Get 6 Biscuits recipe turns it into six single biscuits and gives the Muffin Tray back.
These dishes take the Biscuit as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |

| Soup | 5 | - |
| Stew | 5 | - |

Storage
A Biscuit stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts down. Baking a fresh tray and splitting it only when needed keeps the biscuits useful for longer.
Locations
Biscuits are a common find in restaurant food displays. A fancy restaurant kitchen display holds them most of the time, and a fish and chips display more than half the time. Western kitchen counters and cafeteria bakery cases and grocery stands turn them up now and then. Deep fry restaurant displays, the bins at Jay's Chicken and survivor safehouse fridges hold them only rarely.
