A Jug of Vinegar is a large plastic jug of vinegar used for seasoning and preserving. It is a cooking supply, not a meal. Drinking it straight makes a character very unhappy.
The jug holds ten times as much as a small bottle of Vinegar. That makes it the best vinegar supply for a base that plans to preserve vegetables in jars. It keeps without spoiling. Jugs turn up in laboratories, fast food and seafood kitchens, and the storage spaces of ordinary houses. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
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
Vinegar is one of the key ingredients in the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe. Each jar of vegetables or fish roe needs some vinegar along with salt, water and a Jar Lid. A full jug covers many batches of preserves before it runs dry.
The jug also works as a spice in evolved dishes. It adds 1 hunger to a Sandwich, Burger, Rice, Pasta, Stir Fry, Salad, Taco or Burrito. It counts as a minor ingredient, so it seasons a dish rather than bulking it up.
A small bottle of Vinegar adds the same 1 point to the same dishes. Balsamic Vinegar and Rice Vinegar add 2 points each to the same list of dishes.
These dishes take the Jug of Vinegar as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
The jug is a packaged product and keeps indefinitely. It cannot be frozen. It weighs 2.0 when full, so it is best left in the base kitchen rather than carried.
Locations
Laboratories are the most reliable place to look, with desks and other containers holding a jug about one time in three. Fast food and seafood kitchens keep jugs on their counters and shelves, including Spiffo's, Jay's Chicken and fish and chips kitchens. Attics, closets, halls, living rooms and garage storage hold one now and then. General store shelves and storage units also give a small chance.

Notes

- Leave the jug at the base; it weighs ten times as much as a small bottle.
- Use it as a light seasoning in sandwiches, salads, rice and pasta.
- Laboratories are a surprising but strong place to find a jug.
