Canned Chili is a sealed tin of meat chili that keeps without spoiling. It is one of the more useful canned meals, with a good amount of energy and protein in a single can. It needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Chili (Open). The chili can be eaten straight away or cooked into stews, stir fries, rice dishes, tacos and burritos. Canned Chili is a common find on store shelves and in house kitchens.
Eating
The chili is eaten once the can is open. The opened can lowers hunger by 16 and holds 260 calories. It carries 33 grams of carbohydrates, 16 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat. That balance makes it a good meal for keeping body weight steady.
The chili is good hot, so heating it before eating gives a small mood lift. Compared with other canned meals, it sits in the middle. Canned Spaghetti Bolognese (Open) lowers hunger by 24 and holds 540 calories. Canned Beans (Open) also lowers hunger by 24 but holds only 170 calories and costs some happiness.
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
An open can of chili cooks in 10 minutes and burns after 30. It adds 16 hunger to a Stew, a Stir Fry or a Rice dish. It adds 8 to a Taco, a Burrito, an Omelette, a Burger, a Hotdog, a Sandwich or Pasta. The chili counts as meat in a dish, which makes it a handy filler when fresh meat runs out.

Storage
A sealed can of chili keeps without spoiling, so it suits a long term food store. Once opened, the chili stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. That is a day longer than most opened canned vegetables. A fridge slows both counts down.
Locations
Canned Chili is a common find. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry it about a quarter of the time. House kitchens and living rooms hold it fairly often in counters, cupboards and shelves. Survivor caches and survivor crates turn it up regularly. Other grocery containers, hoarder kitchens and survivor safehouses hold it less often, and cafeteria kitchens only rarely.
