A Bowl of Cereal is breakfast cereal poured into a bowl with milk. It is a quick, ready meal that both feeds and waters the character. It needs no cooking, so it can be made anywhere there is a bowl, some cereal and milk.
The bowl is made with the Pour Bowl of Cereal recipe. The milk makes it spoil within a few days, so it is best poured just before eating. The empty Bowl comes back after the meal. 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 Cereal lowers hunger by 20 and thirst by 15. It holds 295 calories, almost all of it from about 72 grams of carbohydrates. It carries only a little protein and fat.
That makes it a good quick meal for energy. It does less for a balanced diet, so it pairs well with meat, fish or eggs later in the day. The thirst relief is a useful extra when water is short.
A whole box of Cereal eaten dry lowers hunger by 40. Pouring part of it into a bowl with milk turns it into a meal that also quenches thirst.
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
The Pour Bowl of Cereal recipe takes one Bowl, 0.3 litres of Cow's Milk or Sheep's Milk and 5 units of Cereal. No heat and no skill are needed. When the bowl is eaten, the empty Bowl comes back for the next meal.
Sheep's Milk works as well as Cow's Milk. That gives a farm with sheep a steady way to turn a box of cereal into breakfasts.

Storage
A Bowl of Cereal stays fresh for 4 days and is fully rotten by day 7. A fridge slows both counts down. Dry cereal keeps far longer than milk, so pouring a bowl only when it will be eaten wastes the least food.
Notes
- A Bowl of Cereal lowers both hunger and thirst, which suits a character short on water.
- Sheep's Milk can replace Cow's Milk in the recipe.
- Pour the bowl just before eating, as the milk shortens its life.
- The empty Bowl comes back after eating.
