Ketchup is a squeeze bottle of tomato sauce used as a condiment. Its real use is seasoning food in evolved dishes. Eaten straight from the bottle, it makes a character unhappy.

As a spice, Ketchup adds a little hunger to sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, tacos and similar dishes without taking up an ingredient slot. It keeps without spoiling, so a bottle can sit in a base kitchen for as long as needed. Fast food kitchens are full of it. 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


Eating the whole bottle lowers hunger by 20 but raises unhappiness by 30. That mood cost makes raw ketchup a poor snack.

The bottle holds 1,480 calories, all of it as 370 grams of carbohydrates. That is a large store of energy for its 0.2 weight. Used in dishes, that energy goes into the meal without the mood penalty. Cooking it into a dish removes the negative effects.

Mustard has the same hunger and mood values when eaten raw. It holds only 510 calories, so Ketchup carries nearly three times the energy.

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


Ketchup adds 2 hunger each to a Sandwich, Burger, Hot Dog, Rice, Pasta, Taco or Burrito. It counts as a spice. A spice is added on top of the normal ingredients and does not count toward the dish's ingredient limit.

That makes Ketchup a free boost to almost any fast food style meal. A bottle lasts for several dishes. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

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

Storage


Ketchup is a packaged product that keeps indefinitely. It cannot be frozen, so it belongs on a shelf or counter rather than in a freezer.

Locations


Burger restaurant kitchens almost always hold Ketchup on their shelves. Diner kitchens, Spiffo's kitchens and fish and chips kitchens hold it most of the time. Arena kitchens, fried food kitchens and catfish restaurant kitchens are also strong spots. Seafood, Western, cafeteria and hot dog stand counters hold it now and then. General store shelves carry it about one time in five, and ordinary restaurant kitchens hold it less often.

Notes


  • Ketchup works as a spice, so it adds to a dish without using up an ingredient slot.
  • Do not eat it raw; the mood penalty outweighs the hunger it lowers.
  • A bottle carries a lot of calories, which flow into the dishes it seasons.
  • Burger restaurant kitchens are a near certain place to find it.
