Thyme (Dried) is a dried herb used as a spice in cooking. It comes in two forms: home-dried thyme made from the fresh herb, and a shop-bought seasoning container. Both season the same range of dishes, from omelettes and soups to burgers and pasta.
Dried thyme keeps without spoiling, which makes it a steady supply of flavour for a long-term base. The home-dried form comes from drying fresh Thyme on a drying rack. The seasoning turns up on restaurant kitchen counters and on grocery shelves. The best occupations for herbs are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
Dried thyme is a seasoning, not a meal. The home-dried form lowers hunger by 5 and holds a tenth of a calorie. The seasoning container holds more, lowering hunger by 20 if eaten whole, but it raises unhappiness by 10. Both forms hold well under one calorie, so they are useless for keeping body weight up.
Both forms are far better spent in the pot. Each use in a dish adds flavour to a whole meal.
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
Dried thyme counts as a spice. A spice sits outside the dish's ingredient limit, so it seasons a meal on top of the main ingredients. It goes into Omelette, Stir Fry, Soup, Stew, Bread, Toast, Burger, Sandwich and Pasta, adding 1 hunger to each.
The home-dried form is made with the Dry Thyme recipe, which dries fresh Thyme on a drying rack. That turns a herb that rots in about ten days into one that keeps.
These dishes take the Thyme (Dried) as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Bread | 1 | - |
| Burger | 1 | - |
| Omelette | 1 | - |
| Pasta | 1 | - |
| Sandwich | 1 | - |
| Soup | 1 | - |
| Stew | 1 | - |
| Stir Fry | 1 | - |
| Toast | 1 | - |
Storage
Dried thyme keeps indefinitely in both forms. It can sit in a cupboard for as long as needed and still season a dish.
