Salsa is a jar of tomato dip sold as a packaged food. It weighs 0.2 and keeps for a long time. It can be eaten as a snack or used as a condiment in cooking.

As a condiment, it counts as a spice. That means it adds flavour without using up an ingredient slot. Salsa suits Mexican dishes such as Tacos and Burritos, and it also works on pizza and in stir fries.

Salsa stays fresh for 60 days and rots by day 75. It cannot be frozen. It is found in Mexican restaurant kitchens, hot dog stands and general stores. 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 a whole Salsa lowers hunger by 16 and holds 140 calories. All of those calories come from carbohydrates. It carries no protein and no fat.

That makes salsa a fair snack for its light weight. It is far better used to flavour a dish, where it adds to the meal without taking a slot. Salsa needs no cooking and is safe to eat straight from the jar.

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

Salsa counts as a spice in evolved recipes. It adds 4 to a Pizza or a Stir Fry. It adds 2 to an Omelette, Sandwich, Burger, Rice, Pasta, Taco or Burrito.

Because it is a spice, it never fills an ingredient slot. One jar can flavour several dishes in a row. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further, so a trained cook gets more out of every jar.

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

Storage

Salsa stays fresh for 60 days and is fully rotten by day 75. That is a long life for a fresh condiment. A fridge slows both counts down. Salsa cannot be frozen, so a fridge is the best place to keep it.

Locations

Salsa is a fairly common find in a few places. Mexican kitchen counters hold it about a third of the time. Hot dog stand counters hold it about a quarter of the time. General store shelves stock it now and then.

Gigamart and grocery shelves carry it less often. Fridges in survivor safehouses, restaurant kitchens and homes can also hold a jar.
