A Bowl of Beans is an open can of beans emptied into a bowl. It is a simple, filling meal that is best heated before eating. Eaten cold, it makes the character unhappy. Once cooked, that penalty goes away and the beans are good hot.
A Bowl of Beans is also a strong cooking ingredient. It adds a large amount of hunger to a soup, stew or rice dish. It spoils fast, so it should be cooked or eaten within a day or two. The bowl is made with the Make Bowl of Beans recipe and comes back empty after eating. 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 Bowl of Beans lowers hunger by 24. It holds 170 calories, with 33 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of protein and very little fat. That makes it a solid filler but only a modest help for body weight.
Eaten cold, the beans add 10 unhappiness. Heating them removes that penalty. The cooked beans are good hot, so they give a small mood lift when eaten straight off the heat.
The bowl weighs 1.5, so it is not something to carry around. It works best as a meal eaten at the stove.
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.
| Item | Hunger | Calories | Carbs | Protein | Fat | Unhappiness |

| Bowl of Beans | -24 | 170 | 33 | 7 | 1 | 10 |
Cooking
A Bowl of Beans cooks in 20 minutes and burns after 40. It can be heated in an oven or over a fire.
As an ingredient, a Bowl of Beans adds 24 hunger to a Soup, a Stew or a Rice dish. In an Omelette, a Sandwich, Toast or a Salad it adds 8. A pot of soup or stew built around a bowl of beans and some vegetables becomes a filling meal for several days. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further, so a trained cook gets more out of every bowl.
The Make Bowl of Beans recipe takes one Bowl and one open can of Canned Beans. When the beans are eaten or used up, the empty Bowl comes back.

Storage
A Bowl of Beans stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. Canned beans keep for a very long time while sealed, so it is best to open a can only when the beans will be eaten soon.
Notes
- Always heat a Bowl of Beans first, as cold beans make the character unhappy.
- A bowl of beans adds three times as much hunger to a soup, stew or rice dish as to a sandwich or salad.
- Open a can of beans only when it will be eaten soon, as the bowl spoils within days.
- The empty Bowl comes back after eating, ready for the next meal.
