Honey is a bottled sweetener that can be eaten on its own or used to flavour dishes and drinks. It is very rich in calories for its small weight. A bottle weighs 0.4 and never spoils.
Honey counts as a spice in cooking. That means it adds flavour and hunger to a dish without using up one of the ingredient slots. It goes into cakes, sweet pies, pancakes, toast, oatmeal and hot drinks.
Honey also helps a sick character. The game marks it as an item that speeds recovery from a cold or flu. It is found in kitchens, break rooms and offices, usually on a counter or in an overhead cupboard. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A full bottle of honey lowers hunger by 20. It holds 660 calories, and all of them come from 187 grams of carbohydrates.
That calorie count makes honey a strong choice for a character who is underweight. It packs a lot of energy into very little weight. A character who needs to lose weight should treat it with care.
The real value of honey at the table comes from what it adds to other food. A spoonful in a hot drink or on toast is a better use than eating the bottle plain.
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
Honey needs no cooking. It is used as a spice, so it stays outside the ingredient limit of an evolved dish.
It adds the most to a Cake or a Sweet Pie, where it brings 5 hunger. In a Sandwich, Fruit Salad, Hot Drink, Pancakes, Ice Cream Cone, Toast or Oatmeal it adds 2. A cup of tea or coffee with honey is a simple way to use it.
The game also tags honey as an ingredient for herbal tea and for wet drinks.
