Canned Corned Beef is a sealed tin of cured beef that keeps without spoiling. It is the richest canned food by far, with a huge amount of protein and fat in one can. The can has a ring pull, so it opens by hand.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Corned Beef (Open). The beef can be eaten straight from the tin or used as the meat in pizzas, burgers, stews, stir fries and pasta. Canned Corned Beef is a common find on store shelves and in house kitchens.
Eating
The beef is eaten once the ring pull is opened. The opened can lowers hunger by 24 and holds 720 calories. It carries 78 grams of protein and 48 grams of fat. That makes it one of the best single cans for putting on weight or holding it steady.
The beef is good hot, so heating it before eating gives a small mood lift. No canned food comes close on energy. Canned Spaghetti Bolognese (Open) lowers hunger by the same 24 but holds 540 calories. Canned Tuna (Open) holds 370 calories and Canned Chili (Open) holds 260.
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.

Storage
A sealed can of corned beef keeps without spoiling, so it suits a long term food store. Once opened, the beef stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.
