The one food you always stock?

Hunger is the best spice. If you are hungry enough you won't care.

Adults can adapt to this, but what about a finicky child?

 

[Sailor]

Seriously? Kids adapt better than adults. This is all from a first world mentality. Nobody here has probably faced real hunger. You will eat whatever you can.

 

[littletommy]

Spam, and Chef Boyardee ravioli and spaghetti.

 

[bwframe]

You guys just.going to eat it.by.the spoon full? Heck you need some syrup or honey or canned jam or something stored away to mix in with it.

Blueberry/rhubarb.

 

[Miles42]

Another vote for Honey. It will never go bad.

 

[6mm Shoot]

Chili.

We have over 450 lbs of butchered Pork and 150 lbs of venison in the freezer right now...add 30 2 qt bags of off-the-cob sweet corn and another 25 of peaches and apples from our trees, a dozen or more qts of Apple and Plum Butter. And yes we have an generator to help keep the power on if we lose it for any reason. We stock canned soups, chili, and lots of rice related grain...rice-a-roni etc. Used to keep a sealed tin of dried milk...but stopped doing that. I do keep 25 lbs of Honey- local produced- We use a lot of Honey in cooking.

Going to add 500 lbs or so of butchered Bison after our Hunt this winter. That should last us a year or so. All of this is not a Prepper attitude, just stocking up the normal rotation of groceries. Lots of pwdered drinks to keep the emergency water supply tasty.

I'm a little surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Dinty Moore beef stew. It's got meat, veggies, calories & fat. You can work all day and a can of that will fill you up.

Salt has got to be a top one too...can preserve meats....and if sHTF in a big way and we are all eating worms and crickets then salt will be worth more than gold!

Alpo is cheaper and tastes the exact same.

Pinto beans in #10 from LDS. Lots of them. I have spices and such to add and tomato powder on hand. I have been working on mastering the cooking process with a pressure cooker. I can add just about anything else I have or find to make a good meal. This week I will be canning some bacon to use for seasoning them too.

 

[TiminMishawaka]

Dehydrated and crushed kale. 10 grocery bags of it will compact down into the half gallon sealing jar I store it in.

 

[PapaScout]

Lots of salt and dried spice options in the big containers. They keep for years and can make possum taste like pot roast.

 

[churchmouse]

lots of canned goods......and peanut butter.

 

[ClydeB]

Yep. Definitely one of the peanut butter crowd. And its purely a comfort food for me. No idea on the actual shelf life as a jar rarely lasts 6 months in my house unopened. And about 5 weeks opened. Has to be Jif though. Although if I absolutely have to get another brand I keep some molassas tucked away to flavor it the way I like.

I like the idea of buying matzah after passover that someone mentioned. I keep pilot bread on hand but I always have to special order it. I believe matzah could fill that niche. Will have to check it out.

Yup....crunchy style.

 

[Slawburger]

Choosy preppers choose Jif. Definitely my favorite PB.

The natural peanut butter separates when it gets old and the oil floats on top but you can just stir it back in and it is good to go.

 

[bwframe]

Skippy Natural for me. The icing on the cake is the reusable clear container.

Anyone use a method of tracking when specific brands are on sale?

 

[SMiller]

Canned food! Soups, chili, anything like that, make sure to rotate out every couple years...
