A Bowl of Stew is one serving of thick stew, shared out from a cooked Pot of Stew. It is a hearty meal that both fills the stomach and lifts the mood. It is bad cold, so it should be eaten warm.
A Bowl of Stew is made by dividing a Pot of Stew into 2 or 4 bowls. The stew spoils within a couple of days, so the bowls should be eaten soon after serving. The empty Bowl comes back after the meal, and a clay bowl version works the same way. 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 plain Bowl of Stew lowers hunger by 15 and lowers unhappiness by 20. It holds 250 calories, with 34 grams of carbohydrates, 23 grams of protein and 3 grams of fat. That is a well balanced bowl that helps keep body weight steady.
Stew is bad cold, so a cold bowl carries a mood penalty. It is also bad in a microwave. Heating it on a stove or over a fire keeps the full mood benefit.
A Bowl of Soup lowers hunger by the same 15 and unhappiness by the same 20, and it also quenches thirst. The stew holds twice the calories and far more protein. Soup suits a thirsty character, while stew suits a hungry or underweight one.
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
Stew starts as a Cooking Pot filled with at least 900 millilitres of water. It takes up to 6 ingredients, as well as spices. A pot of stew cooks in 70 minutes, longer than soup. Spices can only go in after a regular ingredient.
Stew accepts heavier meats that soup does not, such as bacon, ground beef, steak, sausage, salami and pepperoni. It also takes canned chili, canned corned beef, canned tuna, canned sardines and gravy. Ground Beef and Steak each add 20 hunger, a Potato adds 18 and a Fish Fillet adds 15.
The Divide Food into 2 Bowls and Divide Food into 4 Bowls recipes share the cooked stew into bowls, with one empty Bowl per serving. The pot comes back empty. A single bowl reheats in 15 minutes and burns after 25.

Storage
A Bowl of Stew stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. A Pot of Stew keeps for about 3 days, so it is often better to leave the stew in the pot and divide it only at mealtime.

Notes
- Shared into bowls, a pot of stew fills more and cheers up more than when eaten from the pot.
- Eat stew warm, as a cold bowl makes the character unhappier.
- Stew takes cured meats and canned meats that soup leaves out.
- Divide the pot only at mealtime, as a bowl spoils faster than a full pot.
- The empty Bowl comes back after eating.
