Wild Eggs are eggs found in the wild while foraging. They behave exactly like a farm Egg, with the same food value and the same recipes. They are light, quick to cook and useful in both baking and evolved dishes.
Raw wild eggs can make the character sick, so they should always be cooked first. They stay fresh for two weeks, which is long for fresh food. They come from foraging in the wild rather than from shops or kitchens. 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 wild egg lowers hunger by 7 and holds 63 calories. It carries about 5.5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat, with almost no carbohydrates. That makes it a good small helping of protein for a character keeping weight steady.
Eating one raw is risky, because uncooked eggs can cause food sickness. A cooked egg tastes worse once it goes cold, so it is best eaten soon after cooking. Fresh eggs give a small positive effect, but that turns bad as they start to spoil.
A wild egg is identical to an Egg in every figure. Both lower hunger by 7 and hold 63 calories. On its own an egg is a light snack, so several are needed to make a 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
A wild egg cooks in 4 minutes and burns after 20. It is a poor choice for the microwave, so an oven or a fire is better.
Wild eggs add 7 hunger to Soup, Stew, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. They add 7 to a Sandwich, Burger, Salad or Burrito, but only once cooked. A cooked egg adds 3 to a Taco.
Eggs are a key baking ingredient. Make Cake Batter calls for two eggs. They also go into Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Cookies, Sugar Cookies and Plain Muffins. The Prepare Omelette recipe turns them into an omelette. Any item tagged as an egg works, so wild eggs and farm eggs mix freely.
These dishes take Wild Eggs as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
A wild egg stays fresh for 14 days and is fully rotten by day 21. A fridge slows both counts down. Eggs can be frozen, which keeps them far longer. A rotten egg should be thrown away rather than eaten.
Locations
Wild Eggs are found by foraging out in the wild. A batch of them is a welcome find on a foraging trip, since they keep for two weeks.
Notes
- Always cook wild eggs before eating, because raw eggs can cause food sickness.
- Wild eggs work in every recipe that asks for an egg, including cake batter and omelettes.
- Freezing eggs keeps them well past their two week fresh window.
- A cooked egg is needed before it can go into a sandwich, burger, salad or burrito.
