A Tin of Caviar is a small tin of fish roe, a luxury food that lifts the mood. It is light and fairly filling for its size. Its main value is the large cheer it gives, which makes it a good pick-me-up for a depressed character.
Caviar spoils within a few days once found, so it is best eaten soon. It turns up mostly in the fridges of smoking rooms, VIP lounges and strip club VIP rooms. 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
Eating a tin of caviar lowers hunger by 10 and lowers unhappiness by 20. That mood boost is the main reason to eat it. It holds 150 calories, with 14 grams of protein and 11 grams of fat and no carbohydrates.
That protein and fat make caviar a useful snack for keeping weight steady. It is a rich food for such a small tin.
Caviar is eaten cold, straight from the tin. Compared with Tofu, which also lowers hunger by 10, caviar gives five times the calories and a strong mood lift.
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.

Notes
- VIP lounges and smoking room fridges are the place to look for caviar.
- Caviar is a good item to save for a character who is sliding into depression.
- Caviar rots fast, so it is best eaten on the day it is found.
- A tin on Toast adds only a little hunger, so the tin is better eaten alone.
