Ranch is a bottle of creamy ranch dressing used as a dip and a sauce. In the kitchen it counts as a spice, so it adds to a dish without using an ingredient slot. A full bottle weighs 0.2.

Ranch is very rich. The whole bottle holds 867 calories, almost all of it from fat. It goes on pizza, stir fries, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, burritos, rice and pasta.

It keeps well for a fresh sauce, staying good for 60 days. Ranch is found mostly on general store shelves and in fridges. 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

A full bottle of Ranch lowers hunger by 16. It holds 867 calories, with 72 grams of fat, 29 grams of carbohydrates and about 15 grams of protein. That makes it a strong choice for a character who needs to gain weight.

It is packaged and can be eaten straight from the bottle. Most cooks will get more from it by spreading it across several dishes.

Remoulade is the nearest sauce. It lowers hunger by 10 but holds only 150 calories, and it adds boredom and unhappiness. Ranch is the richer and more pleasant of the two.

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

Ranch works as a spice in evolved recipes. Spices sit outside the normal ingredient limit, so a dish keeps every slot for its main ingredients.

It adds 4 hunger to a Pizza or a Stir Fry. In an Omelette, Sandwich, Burger, Rice, Pasta, Taco or Burrito it adds 2. A single bottle can top many dishes. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

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