Nacho Cheese is a jar of cheese dip made for nachos, tacos and burritos. It counts as a spice in cooking. It can also be eaten straight from the jar, and it lifts the mood when it is.

The jar is packaged and keeps for about two months before it starts to go off. It cannot be frozen. It is light at 0.2 weight and packs a lot of energy.

Nacho cheese is a found item. Mexican restaurant kitchens and general store shelves are the best places to look. 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 jar lowers hunger by 16 and reduces unhappiness by 10. It holds 630 calories, with 56 grams of carbohydrates, 42 grams of fat and 14 grams of protein. That is a rich, balanced spread of nutrients for a light jar.

The calories make it a strong pick for a character who is losing weight. The mood boost helps as well. It is pleasant to eat plain, which many sauces are not.

Against a block of Cheese, the dip is a far richer choice. Cheese lowers hunger by 15 with 113 calories. Nacho cheese fills about as much but carries over five 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

Nacho cheese is a spice in evolved recipes. A spice adds flavour without taking one of the dish's ingredient slots.

It adds 4 hunger to a Pizza or Stir Fry. It adds 2 to an Omelette, a Sandwich, a Burger, Rice, Pasta, a Taco or a Burrito. That range makes it a flexible jar to keep in a pantry. The Cooking skill makes ingredients go further in evolved dishes.

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

Storage

A jar of nacho cheese stays fresh for 60 days. It is fully rotten by day 75. A fridge slows both counts down. That long shelf life makes it easy to store for weeks at a time.

Locations

Nacho cheese is an uncommon find outside a few spots. Mexican restaurant kitchen counters hold it about a third of the time. General store shelves carry it fairly often. Survivor safehouse fridges turn it up now and then. Grocery store and Gigamart shelves hold it only rarely. Restaurant, hoarder and household fridges round out the list at low odds.

Notes

  • Nacho cheese keeps for about two months, far longer than most fresh food.
  • It lifts the mood when eaten plain, unlike Ketchup or Mustard.
  • As a spice, it adds calories to a dish without using an ingredient slot.
  • Mexican restaurant kitchens are the surest place to find a jar.
