Skinned Rat (Dead) is a rat carcass that has been skinned for eating. It weighs 0.2 and is the most filling of the skinned vermin. It is survival food rather than a pleasant meal.
Eating it raises unhappiness by 30, and it is dangerous to eat raw. Cooked into a soup or stew, it adds a good amount of hunger to the pot. It comes from butchering a dead rat with a sharp knife or meat cleaver.
A skinned rat stays fresh for 6 days and rots by day 10. 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 cooked Skinned Rat lowers hunger by 22. It holds 324 calories, with 40 grams of protein and 16 grams of fat. That is a lot of energy and protein for 0.2 weight.
Eating it raises unhappiness by 30. That makes it a poor choice for a character who is already low. Eating it raw is dangerous and can make the character sick, so it should always be cooked.
A skinned rat beats other small game on hunger. Rodent Meat lowers hunger by 15 with 201 calories. A Skinned Mouse (Dead) lowers hunger by 10. Rabbit Meat is the bigger meal, lowering hunger by 30.
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 Skinned Rat cooks in 20 minutes and burns after 60. It cooks over a fire or in an oven. A microwave does a poor job with it.
It adds 15 hunger to Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. These dishes are cooked afterwards, so a raw rat can go straight in. Once cooked, it adds 10 to a Burger or a Salad and 5 to a Sandwich.
Putting the rat into a dish is the best way to use it. Mixed with other ingredients, it becomes part of a larger meal.
These dishes take the Skinned Rat (Dead) as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
