Margarine is a tub of plant based spread used as a cooking fat and a baking fat. It is a key ingredient for anyone who bakes. Pie dough, cake batter, biscuits, cookies and muffins can all be made with it.
Margarine is packaged and never spoils, so a tub keeps for as long as needed. It is very rich, with over 3000 calories in a single tub. Eating it plain upsets the character, so it belongs in the kitchen rather than the mouth.
Margarine is a found item. Bakery and donut shop freezers are by far the best places to look. 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
Eating a whole tub lowers hunger by 24 but adds 20 unhappiness. Few characters will want to eat it that way. The tub holds 3255 calories, almost all of them from 368 grams of fat. It has very little carbohydrate or protein.
Those calories make margarine a powerful tool against weight loss. A character who is underweight gains a lot from it in cooking. The mood penalty only applies when it is eaten plain.
Margarine sits alongside the other cooking fats. Butter lowers hunger by 24 and adds 20 unhappiness, for 3200 calories. Lard lowers hunger by 24 and adds 30 unhappiness, for 4095 calories. Margarine and Butter are close to equal, and both upset the mood less than Lard.
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
Margarine counts as a spice in evolved recipes. A spice adds to a dish without taking one of its ingredient slots.
It adds 4 hunger to Soup, Stew, Stir Fry, Pasta, Pancakes, Oatmeal, a Sandwich, Toast, a Taco or a Burrito. That spread of dishes makes it one of the most flexible ingredients in a pantry. Its high fat content gives each dish a large calorie boost.
Margarine is also a baking fat. The Prepare Pie Dough recipe takes Butter, Lard or Margarine with flour, salt and water. Any baking fat also works in cake batter, biscuits, muffins and every kind of cookie dough. A rolling pin, a mixing utensil and a bowl are needed for pie dough. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in evolved dishes.
These dishes take the Margarine as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Locations
Margarine is a common find in bakeries. Freezers in bakeries, bakery kitchens and donut shops almost always hold a tub. Fridges in cafeterias and diners carry it about a third of the time. Bakery and donut shop fridges, crepe shop fridges and Western kitchen counters turn it up now and then. Grocery stores, general stores, corner stores and gas stations hold it only rarely. Food caches and hoarder kitchens can also have a tub.
