Hit The Hardest

Believe me, there is enough wildlife running around here I am sure I would not starve. So, for me, the only thing I'd miss is the convenience of just getting whatever I want without a second thought.

I have a years worth of survivor food in my house. So I would use that.

I guess water. The water in my apartment is putrid. I would definitely miss fresh, clean water. Does that count?

The pandemic gave us a taste of that scenario - well, people were buying up everything and with supply chain issues the stores shelves were shorted. But it's not like we were ever truly starving so I cannot compare. I think I would miss proteins as well . . . in this life I have never survived as a vegetarian .

Amber is right, we need water to drink, I can renounce to almost anything, for sure I would miss coffee. I am storing canned food because the situation is NOT safe here in Europe right now.

In my country, it would definitely be rice. It's a staple here

I think chips or chocolate, maybe ice cream. I am sure I could find substitutes though

The foods that I eat on a daily basis are tea, banana, honey, curds, and a hard boiled egg apart from other foods tha are different on different days I really would not know what I would substitute them with if they were not available. Any ideas?

I don't know, I think the best is clean water, sodium, fruits, veggies, carbs, and sugar... I think without it in a few months there will be a sure problem with out body. I hope it won't happen in Jesus name, Amen!

Fish is so good for you. I wish I could stockpile..better yet go fishing.

When I think back a few years to the early days of the pandemic, we were faced with similar issues. Some things that we consume could be ordered online. Fresh, clean water is something that we cannot endure life without.

Right now I don't know maybe frozen pizza,

Maybe cheese and iogurt as we don't produce it at home but in general our farm provide us a lot of food.

I have always kept some extra food that leads itself to long term storage. Maybe because I had two grandmothers who raised their children during the great depression and had some hard years. They gardened, preserved, canned, dehydrated, you name it, they did it. They bartered with friends and neighbors and traded things so that more people could have more variety. It worked for them. I realized that was nearly 100 years ago, but the basic idea and needs are still there. Many people have no place to garden or raise anything. There are foodstuffs a person can buy that will store very well, and last a very long time. Dried beans and lentils, rice, some pastas, canned goods. We should all keep some of those stored away. If you don't know how to cook some of those things, it's easy to learn. Water--get a water filter pitcher with filters, it requires no power to use these. A person can also buy tablets (very small tablets, like aspirin) that will clean and clarify water. I am of the opinion that everyone needs an emergency/weather radio, they are excellent in power outages. They will charge your phone/electronics, provide a light, news and weather, and have a little hand crank to use to pump up the battery if you can't recharge it. It could save a life, since it runs without power for a long time. I am not an official prepper by any means. I am just a person who thinks we need to have some foods in our house that are good to fall back on. That's not a new concept. Stored properly, many of these foods will last a long time.

Right now ice cream because it's been so hot. I know ice cream is not really healthy, but it doesn't cool you off quickly. For healthy foods I will miss strawberries and watermelon.

I read about the food shortage in European countries during and after the Second War. Beggars cannot be choosers and people just survived those tough times. I survive on whatever I can manage without much trouble but take care of a balanced diet.

I would miss all the foods that I eat. I eat to survive and I wish I wouldn't need food. But if a disaster comes I won't be able to handle it. I can't eat many foods so I am no sure t if I could live without food. I am on a restricted diet and I can't eat the foods you mentioned.

Vegetables and fruits make most of what I eat. I in fact cannot eat meat if there is no vegetable on a side plate.

I would miss rice. It is our staple food. Other than that, I also miss eggs.

Interesting question- I think I would not miss any. I do not have a personal attachment to a particular food or veggies or meat. Whatever is possible, by happy with same. In case of disasters, it is all about surviving and well guess we would all survive with what is left and possible. I would definitely find alternatives to survive and food combinations could be weird. Rice with nuts or bread with sauce. We humans do have the ability , atleast most , to adapt to the situations around us. In short , in case of disasters , no preferences , survive with what we have and what we can find.
