Fries are a portion of French fries, a fast food side that lifts mood. They come in two forms. The fries found in restaurants are ready to eat, while frozen fries from a bag need a short cook.

One portion lowers hunger by 10 and lowers unhappiness by 10. Fries also go into sandwiches and burgers. They go stale within a few days. They fill burger, deep fry and fish and chips restaurant displays, and a Bag of Fries opens into three portions. 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 portion of Fries lowers hunger by 10 and lowers unhappiness by 10. It holds 203 calories, with about 36 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein. That is a good amount of energy for a side, which helps a character who needs to gain weight.

The restaurant fries weigh 0.4, while the frozen fries weigh 0.2. The frozen fries are better hot, so they are best eaten soon after cooking. Cooking them in a microwave leaves them less pleasant to eat.

Fried Onion Rings lower hunger by the same 10 and carry 200 calories. Fries add a mood lift on top.

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 Open Bag of Food recipe turns a Bag of Fries into three portions of frozen fries. They cook in 20 minutes and burn after 40. An oven or a fire works best.

The frozen fries also go into evolved dishes. They add 10 hunger to a Burger and 5 to a Sandwich.

These dishes take Fries as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Locations

Fries are easy to find in fast food places. Restaurant displays in burger restaurants, deep fry kitchens, fish and chips kitchens and restaurants always hold them. Cafeteria, chicken restaurant and Spiffo's displays carry them more than half the time.

Bins in Spiffo's and chicken restaurants hold them a little over a third of the time. House living room fridges carry them about a third of the time, and band room fridges a quarter. Motel and survivor safehouse fridges turn them up rarely.
