[Lunch] A small portion of milk.

*This article is about milk. For an article on the variant consumed by babies, see Baby Milk.*

## Obtaining

### Grocery Store

The most common and reliable method of obtaining Milk is by purchasing it from the Grocery Store for 15 bea. It is available each season, so you don't need to stock up if you intend on using lots of Milk throughout the year. Again, this is the most common and reliable method of obtaining Milk. If you need Milk, you should exclusively rely on this method.

### 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 Milk. If you accept their offer, you'll receive 1 Milk and your relationship will improve. You also have the option to refuse the offer if you don't want Milk or don't want your relationship to improve. **The food/cooking ingredient NPCs offer is mostly random, so if you need Milk, do not rely on this method.**

#### Parents

If you're a child, you have the option 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 parents agrees, they'll give you a random Lunchbox Item, and there is a chance it'll be Milk. Again, this method is relies on randomness, so it is not a consistent source. **You must have no Lunchboxes in your bag to do this.**

## Usages

### Eating

One of Milk's usage is to be consumed (though this is not it's primary usage). Because it is considered a Lunchbox Item, it can be eaten anywhere you go (as opposed to regular Food, which can only be eaten at home, at the tavern, or for lunch at school). Doing so will improve your speed, strength, and spirit by 5 points each. If you consume Milk for breakfast or for lunch at school, this is doubled to 10 points.

### Cooking

Milk can be used for cooking and is involved in 10 recipes. 4 appetizers, 1 main dish, and 5 desserts.

### Giving to others

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

* Adults will either say it looks delicious or that you saved them a lot of trouble
* Children will either celebrate and say it looks yummy or will simply thank you
* Ihms will always celebrate and immediately consume the Milk
