A Mutton Chop is a cut of raw sheep meat that must be cooked before eating. It is a filling, protein rich meal on its own. It is also a strong ingredient for soups, stews and pies.

Raw mutton is dangerous and can cause sickness. Once cooked, it tastes better hot and worse cold. The chop is fresh meat and spoils within days, so it should be cooked soon.

Mutton chops are found in butcher display cases, on barbecues and stoves, and in freezers. Butcher shops and the meat counters of grocery stores are 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


A mutton chop lowers hunger by 30. It holds 234 calories, with 33 grams of protein and 11 grams of fat. There are almost no carbohydrates.

That is a strong meal for a 0.3 weight item. The high protein helps a character keep muscle. The calories help hold body weight steady.

Raw mutton can make the character sick, so it must be cooked first. Eaten hot, it gives a mood bonus. Eaten cold, it is less pleasant.

Against other cuts of the same weight, mutton holds its own. A Pork Chop also lowers hunger by 30 but holds only 150 calories. A Steak lowers hunger by 40 with 220 calories. Mutton gives the most calories of the three.

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


A mutton chop cooks in 50 minutes and burns after 70. That is a long cook, so it needs patience. A microwave is a poor choice for it.

The chop adds 15 hunger to Soup, Stew, a Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. Once cooked, it adds 10 to a Burger or a Salad and 5 to a Sandwich. A single chop in a pot of stew goes a long way. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

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

Pie 15 -

Storage


A mutton chop stays fresh for 2 days. It is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. Cooking a chop into a stew is a good way to use it before it turns.

Locations


Mutton chops are a common find wherever meat is sold or cooked. Barbecues hold them more than a third of the time. Butcher display cases in butcher shops, grocery stores and Gigamart carry them about a third of the time. Propane barbecues and stoves in homes and survivor safehouses hold them about a fifth of the time. Barbecue store display cases do the same. Butcher shop fridges and freezers turn them up now and then. Household and restaurant freezers hold them at lower odds.
