Mush Fry

Mush Fry is a cooked food item that can be made in the Electric Grill from Mush Bar. Each Mush Fry is produced from 1 Mush Bar, converting a low-quality emergency ration into a better meal with an increased calorie value of 250 kcal. The cooking process also removes any Food Poisoning germs that were introduced by Microbe Musher processing.

Because Mush Bar is generally inefficient as a long-term food source, Mush Fry is mainly used as a way to salvage existing Mush Bars rather than as a primary staple. A single cycle’s worth of food can be stretched further by turning Mush Bars into Mush Fry, so it is usually best to convert any Mush Bars you already have instead of serving them directly.

• Recipe: 1 Mush Bar → 1 Mush Fry
• Station: Electric Grill
• Base ingredient: Mush Bar, which provides 800 kcal
• Result: improved meal with +250 kcal
• Additional benefit: removes Food Poisoning from the cooked product

Mush Fry is especially valuable in colonies that still rely on dirt-and-water food production, since it improves the quality of otherwise poor Mush Bar without requiring a major change to the food system.
