This is a basic famine menu that will keep you alive. Variety of taste will come from supplementation from a vegetable garden, fruit trees, raising animals, bartering, spices and additional items you store. Each family must be creative to vary the taste of the foods and to add additional items that will make the basic foods most appetizing for you.

I'm sure that O’Zero will arrange for relief supplies from Somalia, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and Sudan to tide us over any rough spots ahead.

Your average squirrel is only worth about 400 calories, but will sure make that pot of rice taste a lot less bland.

Stock .22 rifle ammunition, and be prepared to pay a bounty on every fresh squirrel, rabbit, gopher, or whatever a bit of hunting can easily provide.

And our 6 hens have laid over 950 eggs so far this year...

"I’m doomed."

Yeah, but more importantly do you taste like chicken? ;-)

Only with eleven herbs and spices...

A lot of people are trying to stay away from soy. I hear it can cause manboobs.

For a while I was catching 2-4 squirrels a week with traps in the backyard, that might be an option also. Traps have the advantage of not requiring you to actually be there for them to work. A trapping license was suprisingly cheap, too.

I thought it was 17 herbs and spices? Anyway it don't matter I don't have a pan big enough to marinate you in!

[Errant]

What size pot? lol

You sure milk is going to be availabe?? ;)

[Kartographer]

Powder Dry Milk vacuumed packed last a long time. Not as good as the real thing but drinkable when cold with a dash of vanilla

” lot of people are trying to stay away from soy. “

Soy sauce is storable, can be bought in bulk at the local Oriental Store, and makes an excellent flavor-enhancing condiment for the rice-and-beans staple diet... 2 billion orientals can’t be wrong... ;)

[Errant]

OK, I C “powdered milk” on the list...

That article makes me wish I had the cash to buy some rural land and bury a tractor trailer of food in it!!

How well does ramen noodle store? The square kind.
