The question is, if you were really starving, and it was down to survival, what would you eat, or do to survive? Is it a good idea to have basic knowledge of edible plants, or trapping/snaring techniques, or will the Gov't be there to feed you? I have "played around" with preparedness, and survival methods for a few years, and I'd like to think that I would be able to eat Pond Scum & BullFrogs. I'll say that in my experiments with "Survival Foods", it's been a big awareness challenge between how I am used to feeding myself, and others, and how you might "have" to eat. OBTW, tinfoil makes some "dandy" cooking vessels.
Grubs have at least 5 times the protein, termites prob. 10 times the protein, of beef.
Pine needle tea-more vitamin C than orange juice.
dandelion flowers.
We have everything here, from rabbits to geoducks.
Speaking of survival food, Anthony Bourdain on the food channel was with some Nigerian tribe; they got a boar with a poison arrow, and immediately carved out it's anus and colon and tossed it on bare charcoal, covered with dirt to bake. He obliged them after protesting, and said it basically tasted like dirt and poop.
Ya know, all these NG shows and such where the guy eats all the weird "Native foods", I gotta wonder how much of that is the "primitive people" having fun with the idiot jornalists? "Look Zonk, me make fat guy eat poop!" "Zonk do better, make him eat termite testicles with 'special sauce' !"
