I did this once a while back on my blog, if you were stranded on a deserted island and you could have 5 foods in unlimited quantities (always somehow provided without spoiling) what would they be?
I think mine were olives, garlic, tomatoes, chicken and new potatoes.

chicken
tomatoes
sushi (or could I just catch my own on the island, so it doesn't count)
arugula
apples
cherries (if the sushi doesn't count)-

lol Sushi is vinegared rice
But, yeah - I would say sushi doesn't count. I was trying to think of all the things you could forage for and/or grow to augment the other stuff. That may be an even better question!

I have learned to forage nuts, mushrooms (morels) and hunt (I never did that before until recently) I still dont eat squirrel because it is in the rodent family but deer is pretty good if fixed right. I have a wild life cookbook that has beaver, ground hog, and the list goes on and on. I just dont think I could eat that stuff.

Nuts
Avocados
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Chicken (white meat only)
Eggs
Fresh Bread
Couldn't do 5, as I need at least 7 if I am going to be on a deserted island.
Good thing you didn't ask about personal items, as that would have to be at least 12. lol-

Everything Angie said (I'd live next door to her and we could exchange) but would have to add Chocolate, Butter, Yeast, Flour and Sugar. And could there be a cow grazing on the island too?
I need milk. Can make butter and cheese and ice creams. Yes, would have to have a cow and chickens free range.

I would love a ham and swiss cheese sandwich on rye bread with lettuce, mayo and a slice of Bermuda onion. I would like a deli pickle with a nice snap. Since I am stranded on an island I think I will go for a small bag of potato chips to go with the sandwich. I must have a REALLY good cup of coffee. To go with the coffee I would like a nice thick piece of pound cake for dessert. Then I could sit back and think about how to get off this island or if maybe I would like to visit a while.-

But if you eat your food, what will you eat tomorrow?

I guess I will have to worry about that tomorrow! (Hopefully I packed an extra sandwich)

You know, you can always come over to our section of beach and help out in the kitchen. "Will Work For Food"
I would do everything possible to insure we all had something to eat.

I suppose if we were all stranded together and we all had our favorite foods it really could be quite nice. What a good time, all sharing and cooking together.

Annie, You never did say where on earth this supposedly deserted island is located. If it were Iceland or Greenland, I would bring totally different foods.

It has to be in the tropics so we cant freeze to death

True Amy, but Annie never said for certain it would be a south seas island. We just assumed. Feeling better tonight?

And you would die on that island from a blocked artery LOL Think of it! What a way to go - beautiful tropical island, tons of 'bad for you' food ... it actually doesn't sound so bad

Plus ... no volcanos on the island. I saw some photos today and the volcanos are very frightening yet so interesting. Right. No volcanos, just temperate tropical breezes and gentle rains.

they (who ever they are) have also stated that mcrowaving food doesnt kill germs in your left overs. Wondering about that .People have been microwaving left overs for years and there is no epidimic of them dropping dead from germs in their food.
-
0 votes
The heat of the food should kill the germs. I saw talk of that - everything seems to do a 180 no matter what. Some day they'll tell us oatmeal is actually bad for us.

I have a microwave andit is used for pop corn and to warm up hubby's coffee. Rebekka has taken to baked potatoes out of it. I dont do left overs here except beans so I guess I am safe. My mom on the other hand is freaking out after I told her today what i had read.

This is good of them and it provides you with a safe haven whereby you can be at ease and reflect on what you want to do and which direction you will take. You don't have to worry about roommates and their attitudes. You have the advantage to be useful around your home, which helps your parents, and shows them you are growing up, and they will be even more willing to whatever they can to make your stay memorable. Give them lots of hugs and trade stories. You won't have them forever and they are real treasures in life. Everything will be fine. Just wait and see.
