Hot Dog

[Lunch] A sandwich filled of boiled garoni. Its etymology is unclear.

## Obtaining

### Cooking

One of the more common methods of obtaining Hot Dogs is by cooking them. The required ingredients are 1 Bread and 1 Garoni, and combining these ingredients will give you 1 Hot Dog. If you're a traveler, you cannot do this as you have no access to a stove. Instead, you'll have to become a citizen or rely on the method below.

### Grocery Store

Another common method of obtaining Hot Dogs is by purchasing them from the Grocery Store for 55 bea. If you are a traveler, this is your only reliable method of obtaining Hot Dogs, despite the high cost. If you simply need something to eat, consider purchasing the Rago Sandwich instead, but if you specifically need Hot Dogs this is your best option.

### Receiving from Others

#### Friends

Citizens or travelers who are friends, close friends, dear friends, or family members (excluding babies) may approach you throughout the day and offer to give Hot Dogs. If you accept their offer, you'll receive 1 Hot Dog and improve your relationship. You also have the option to refuse if you don't want Hot Dogs or don't want to improve your relationship. **The food NPCs offer is mostly random. If you need Hot Dogs, you should not rely on this method.**

#### Parents

If you're a child, you have the ability to ask your parents for Lunchboxes. To do this, talk to one of your parents and select the "Give me a Lunchbox" option. If the parent agrees, they'll give you 1 random Lunchbox Item, and there is a random chance it'll be a Hot Dog. Much like with the method above, this method relies on randomness, so you should not rely on this if you need Hot Dogs. **You must have no Lunchboxes in your bag to do this.**

## Usages

### Eating

The primary usage for Hot Dogs is for them to be eaten. Because they are considered Lunchbox Items, they can be eaten anywhere (as opposed to regular Food Items, which can only be eaten at home, at the tavern, or for lunch at school). Doing so will increase your speed, strength, and spirit by 10 points, but this will be doubled to 20 points when eaten for breakfast or for lunch at school.

### Giving to Others

Much like how citizens and travelers can give you Hot Dogs, you have the ability to give it to them as well. To do this, hold a Hot Dog in your hands and talk to a friend, close friend, dear friend, Ihm, or family member (excluding babies) and select the "Give Lunchbox" option. Doing so offer to give a Hot Dog, and if the NPC accepts your offer you'll give them 1 Hot Dog and improve your relationship. If they refuse, nothing happens, but you can make the offer again. Adults, children, and Ihms will have different reactions when accepting your offer:

* Adults will say it looks delicious and save it for later
* Children will celebrate and say it looks yummy
* Ihms will celebrate and immediately consume the Hot Dog

## Trivia

* The Hot Dog is the only sandwich in the game to not contain the word "sandwich" in its name.
* The Hot Dog is the fourth most expensive item sold at the Grocery Store. The items that are more expensive are Green Tea, the Cake Kit, and Buzzarn Sandwich.
* The Hot Dog has the second-highest sale price of all foods made with Garoni. This is not incredibly impressive, considering only two foods are made with Garoni, but it still makes for interesting trivia!
