Canned Tomato is a sealed tin of tomatoes that keeps without spoiling. It is a light food on its own but one of the most flexible cooking ingredients in a tin. It needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Tomato (Open). The tomatoes go into pizzas, soups, stews, pies, stir fries, omelettes, rice, pasta, salads, sandwiches and burgers. Canned Tomato is a common find in grocery stores, general stores and kitchens.
Eating
The tomatoes are eaten once the can is open. The opened can lowers hunger by 12 and thirst by 8. It holds 90 calories, with 18 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of protein. That makes it a poor food for keeping body weight up, but a handy help with thirst.
The tomatoes are good hot, so heating them before eating gives a small mood lift. Canned Carrots (Open) also lowers hunger by 12 but eases thirst by only 4. Canned Corn (Open) lowers hunger by 16 and holds 315 calories.
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 tomatoes keeps without spoiling, so it can wait on a shelf for as long as needed. Once opened, the tomatoes stay fresh for 2 days and are 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.
