Post Apocalyptic Cuisine

[Bruno]

Ok, so the collapse of civilization is coming soon, and I want to be prepared for it with delicious recipes that can be made with the food that will be available. Since I don't know the precise details of this approaching doom, I've come up with a few arbitrary conditions:

1.) Farming still happens, but with reduced resources and minimal infrastructure.

2.) Everything has to have been grown within 50 miles of where you live, or plan to live after the shit hits the fan. No processed food.

3.) Refrigeration is impractical and unreliable. No frozen goods, or products that have to be refrigerated. Drying, canning and root cellaring are still viable storage options.

4.) Animal products are scarce. Use sparingly.

5.) Nutritional value is a high priority.


If I have time before doom sets in, I'd like to start a post-apocalyptic themed automated food kiosk franchise.

My main recipe formula goes something like Dried food product + water + heat --> food. These are mainly soups,  breads, and homemade pastas/dumplings.

It's meant to simulate post-apocalyptic wintertime cuisine when fresh produce will not be available, mainly because I don't want to have to worry about food spoilage, and I don't want to have to check the machine more than once or twice a month.

I'm already in Tennessee. How much further south do I need to go?

The gulf coast is a good idea.

At your kiosk, what part has patrons being attacked by roving gangs?

Um, the outside part?

Seeing as it will be open 24/7, be parked in an empty lot and have little to no security, the chance of being attacked is real, not simulated.

Very authentic.

I could use rice there!

And access to fresh seafood.

If you also live near a river, you have access to fresh, non-stagnant water.

Forgot about potable water, didn't you?

There are plenty of wells around here. I'm sure we could figure out a way to get water out of them, even without electricity.

Also, I have a still.

Fact: Human fat can be made into biodiesel, and you can heat your home with it in the wintertime.

top  advantages to eating the obese

1 they are slow moving and easy to catch

2 they can live on their own fat for extended periods (no refrigeration ) just add water

3 there is a large enough supply to meet the demand

4 they float well, just scoop them up during disaster flooding
