Zaja Torte

[Lunch] A chocolate cake wrapped in more chocolate.

## Obtaining

### Cooking

The easiest and most common method of obtaining Zaja Tortes is by cooking them. The required ingredients are one Gheat Flour and one Chocolate, and combining these will give you one Zaja Torte. If you're a traveler, you cannot do this as travelers cannot cook. You should try to become a citizen if you need Zaja Tortes.

### Receiving from Others

#### Friends

Citizens who are friends, close friends, dear friends, or family members (excluding babies) may approach you and offer to give Zaja Tortes. If you accept their offer, you'll receive one Zaja Torte and improve your relationship. You also have the option to refuse if you don't want any Zaja Tortes or don't want to improve your relationship. **The food NPCs offer to give is mostly random, so if you need Zaja Tortes, you should not rely on this method to get them.**

#### 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 at home and select the "Give me a Lunchbox" option. If the parent accepts, they'll give a random Lunchbox, and there is a chance they'll give a Zaja Torte. Much like from friends, this method is mostly random and should not be relied on if you need Zaja Tortes. **You must have no Lunchboxes on your bag to do this.**

## Uses

### Eating

The primary use for Zaja Tortes is to be eaten. Because they are considered both Lunchbox Items and Food Items, they can be eaten anywhere. Regular food items, on the other hand, can only be eaten at home or at the tavern. Doing so improves your strength by 25 points, but does not improve your speed or spirit. If you eat for breakfast or at school, this effect is doubled to 50 points.

### Selling

Zaja Tortes can be sold directly to any shop for 28 bea. If you cooked you Zaja Tortes, you should never do this, as you'll lose 2 bea per Zaja Torte (this considers the purchase price of Chocolate and Gheat Flour). However, if someone gave you Zaja Tortes, you won't lose any money as you got it for free. If you urgently need money, this is a somewhat decent option, though you should try to seek out other alternatives of getting money first.

### Giving to Others

Much like how citizens can give you Zaja Tortes, you can give it to them as well. To do this, hold a Zaja Torte in your hands and talk to a friend, close friend, dear friend, Ihm, or family member (excluding babies) and select the "Give Lunchbox" option. If they accept your offer, you'll give a Zaja Torte and improve your relationship. If they refuse, you can try 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 consume the Nut Pound Cake on the spot

#### Astral Day

If you're not a child on Astral Day, children will approach you and ask for candy. If you have any Zaja Tortes on you, it may appear as an option, and selecting it will give the child one Zaja Torte.

You also have the option to approach children and give them a Tortes. To do this, hold a Zaja Torte in your hands and talk to any child wearing a mask (including strangers). The option "Give Candy" will appear, and selecting it offers to give the child a Nut Pound Cake. The child will always accept unless they're full, in which case they'll always refuse.

## Trivia

* If you were to sort every Food Item in the game alphabetically, Zaja Torte would be at the bottom of the list. This is because it is the only food item in the game to start with the letter Z.
* Zaja Torte is nearly identical with Chocolate Cookies, sharing the same Food Effects, sale price, and ingredients for cooking. The only major difference is Chocolate Cookies can be purchased from the Grocery Store.
* Though players who are adults can give children Zaja Tortes on Astral Day, players who are children cannot receive Zaja Tortes this way, despite it being a dessert. Rather, NPCs always give a random dessert from a preset list, even if they have other desserts in their bags.
