What if you are stranded in an island with a friend and become very hungry.You had no food,but fortunately your friend packed some foods and he is ready to share.But when he opened the lunch box you saw the food you hate most!What will you do?Will you eat the food with him?Haha.I am wondering.:)
Many people who get trapped in building or get stranded in an island would eat anything just to survive.Will you also do the same?
Maybe if I get stranded in a place where there is no food but the one I hate most I will still eat that food even it is raw.Oh.The food I hate most is bitter gourd.:)I will eat even a raw one if that's the only food available just to survive.:)

I don't like bitter gourd too. But when I tried it one time and it was sliced really thin, I was surprised that I can eat it and never tasted its bitterness
As to the question, well if I'm trapped and the food available is one that I hate most.. I'd have no choice but to eat it in order to survive. As long as it's a food I would definitely eat it. But I won't eat those insects, I've seen how some people ate insects - I don't think I can eat them

roaches, no way too
I don't know if I can eat those insects (not the roaches). I don't think that it will actually satisfy our empty stomach.

I just hope it won't happen to us. If it does, I sure will be crying while trying to put those insects in my mouth

To be honest I don't think I'd even give it a second thought. If it was about surviving, I'd really eat anything that doesn't hurt me :) But maybe that's just me. I'm not very fussy with food. Except maybe alive bugs and worms and such..

Haha.I know what you said was just a joke,but in some cases it happens.I read an article about people eat other people because they had noting to eat.It sounds disgusting and awful.

Precisely.
I am sure, you can eat everything which is audible or looks audible when we are hungry and trapped in a place with no other people.

The most important thing is to be alive. So though the food may be very disgust, you may eat it to gain your life, or you may die and nothing or nobody can give you any pities.

I will eat anything just to be alive but not the dirty ones.I might die earlier to eat them.You are right.Life is very important so it is not very important what you eat as long as it gives life.:)

Of course, I'll eat it. Survival comes first. However, if the food is something exotic like fried spiders or monkey brains, I'd probably vomit it out.

To be honest, it will be terrible choice of course to eat what I don't like but if that is the only food available, no problemo ..I would not settle for the unavailable food but keep trying what can be eaten regardless that I do not like how it tastes..

I got stranded in uninhabited island where there is no food. Come on, you said an island. Could you mention how big the island was ? I was sure there must be food and would find out once on the way we're into them. There must be coconut trees or any other fruits. I was sure there were fruits on an island.
To be honest, I have tried drinking my pee and use it to cure the itchy on my eyes.

I said an island with no food but the one you hate most.I said there was food there,but the only one you hate most.What if the person hates coconut?
The size of the island or what the island contains don't need to be mentiode because they depend on how the other users will think.

Even some are drinking their own pee, right? That is what I heard from people who were trapped under the rubble.

HI ferbhohn, You said it just the way it would be...I don't care
what that friend had if they were going to eat it I am going to
eat it..I would have absolutely no problems and there would be
no foods I don't like at that time...LOL..
It is what it is and to get in a situtation where I became stranded
on an island would be horrible...But believe me whatever I needed
to do to make it off that island alive ...thats what I would do or eat.

Well this is a very hypothetical question and something can be accurately answered only if I really experience it. But then when one is really hungry , one can even lose hold of their own senses. People have known to drink their own pee, eat stones, paper or even or even resort to cannibalism to survive. So I feel any food, even if its not what I like, in such a situation will be eaten by me as if it were a delicacy.

Yes,some people will eat anything even other people just to survive.I also watch a documentary about hungry people.I couldn't believe that they ate sand.I don't know why they do that.Sand won't help.I think eating insects or leaves is better than eating sand.

well since I do not really hate anything reasonably edible yes i would eat whatever my friend has brou tht as few would bring parsnips in a lunch so sounds pretty safe to me.,most islands do have plant life and among plant life there are probably a lot of edible things city bred spoiled people do not know about like wild berries and wild tomatoes.so I am not worried a bit.

People do anything to survive. Eating a food you donĀ“t like is the least anyone can do in that case. Some people eat rotten food, some drink pee, some become cannibals. Bitter gourd sounds childish when you think of real alternatives that people have grasped in order to stay alive.
How far would you go? Have a nice day!
