Manana Sandwich

[Lunch] A sweet sandwich filled with sliced and sauteed manana.

## Obtaining

### Cooking

One of the primary methods of obtaining Manana Sandwiches is by cooking them at home. The required ingredients are one Bread and one Manana, and combining these ingredients will give you one Manana Sandwich. If you're a traveler, you cannot do this, as you cannot cook. If you want Manana Sandwiches, you should become a citizen or refer to the method below.

### Grocery Store

Another method of obtaining Manana Sandwiches consistently is by purchasing them from the Grocery Store for 25 bea. If you do plan on buying food, this is one of the better purchases, as the price is low considering the Food Effects. It must be noted that cooking and buying Manana Sandwiches have the same cost, so in most cases buying them is more efficient.

### Receiving from Others

#### Friends

Citizens or travelers who are friends, close friends, dear friends, or family members (excluding babies) may approach you and offer to give Manana Sandwiches. If you accept their offer, you'll receive one Manana Sandwich and improve your relationship with whoever made the offer. If you refuse, nothing changes and the NPC will walk away. **The food NPCs offer is mostly random; if you need Manana Sandwiches, you should not rely on this method.**

#### Parents

If you're a student, you have the ability to ask your parents for a Lunchbox. To do this, talk to one of your parents and select the "Give me a Lunchbox" option. If they accept, they'll give a random Lunchbox, and there is a chance it'll be a Manana Sandwich. Much like receiving from friends, the food you receive is random, making this method unreliable if you need Manana Sandwiches. **You must have no Lunchboxes in your bag to do this.**

## Uses

### Eating

The primary use for Manana Sandwiches is for them to be eaten. Because they are considered both Food Items and Lunchbox Items, they can be eaten anywhere you go (unlike regular food, which can only be eaten at home, at the tavern, or for lunch at school). Doing so improve your speed, strength, and spirit by 10 points, but this is doubled to 20 points when eaten for breakfast or for lunch at school.

### Selling

Manana Sandwiches can be sold to any shop for 20 bea. Unless you want to get rid of all your money, there is no reason to do this, as the cost to cook or purchase them is 25 bea. Each Manana Sandwich sold would result in a loss of 5 bea.

Alternatively, if someone gave you a Manana Sandwiches, there was no cost to obtain it, so you would actually make money. If you are in urgent need of bea, this is a good option, but otherwise you're better off keeping your Manana Sandwiches.

### Giving to Others

Much like how citizens and travelers can give you Manana Sandwiches, you have the ability to give it to them as well. To do this, hold a Manana Sandwich 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, you'll give one Manana Sandwich and improve your relationship with them. If they refuse, nothing changes, 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 Manana Sandwich

## Trivia

* Of all the sandwiches in the game, Manana Sandwich is the only one to not generate a profit. The Mushroom Sandwich barely falls short of this, generating a profit of 1 bea.
* Manana Sandwich is one of two Foods in the game that can be cooked to have a sale price of 20 bea (the other being Urchin Cream Soup). This is especially interesting because there are 13 Foods with a sale price of 20 bea, but only 2 can be cooked.
* Despite Mananas only being for sale in the summer and autumn, Manana Sandwiches are sold at the Grocery Store year-round. Perhaps Mary prepares a whole bunch in autumn to ensure she has enough for the year? If so, they're likely quite stale come spring.
