If you were on a desert island....

[OnlySkittlesHaveTheAnswer]

A wee game me and the DC have been playing - we have a lot of food chat. You are stuck on a desert island and can only take 10 ingredients to live off.....what would you take? Salt and pepper are freely available 😁

This is mine (although it is not set in stone...)
Chicken
Potatoes
Onions
Oats (could make into flour and use to bake etc)
Eggs
Honey
Full fat milk (could make into butter, cream and cheese as well)
Tomatoes
Lemons
Tea

What would you take?

Well yes but monkeys get hammered on coconut rum so I was going for the guaranteed easy option

I wonder if we can grow anything?

Although in my case that would be…zero. Not even parsley ☹️.

We cannot grow anything.
Olive oil could maybe come with the salt and pepper??

Yes please. Along with butter?

Do we have a way of refrigerating things? Also is the supply magically topped up every week?

Yes its a magical never ending supply, and there is a fridge 😀

Right, well in that case:

Peanut butter & Marmite spread
Baguette
Tea
Tempeh
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Sweetcorn
Margarine
Onions
Nutritional yeast

I'm adding spices to the salt and pepper. I'd use the coconuts for milk and oil.

Olive oil

Flour

Broccoli

Cocoa powder

Sugar

Salt

Tomato paste

Garlic

Red lentils

Rice

Could make a sourdough starter using the flour and then use it to make breads, cakes, all kinds of treats.

Could also make pasta from the flour and I've worked out that I could make a veggie lasagne from this list!

Edited to add:

Oh, since we already get salt and olive oil, I'll choose tofu and chilli oil!

I'd go with mostly your list but switch chicken for chocolate and possibly broccoli or green beans for lemons.

Chicken
Rice
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Cheddar
Garlic
Bread
Butter
Nutella
Coffee

Having played desert island survival games, you lot may not last long

Chicken
Chips
Chops
Cheese
Chorizo
Chickpeas
Cherries
Chocolate
Cheetos
Champagne

Ooh broccoli, I think I’ll swap my carrots for broccoli

Coffee, wine and olive oil needs to make an appearance on those lists. (Or tea and beer, if you're that way inclined)

TF. I can't get over the amount of posts and no wine

White wine
Red wine
Crusty Bread
Chicken
Eggs
Butter*
Cheddar*
Broccoli
Kidney beans
Apples

With your rules of salt pepper and fish I could live on that for the rest of my life and wouldn't worry about my weight on a desert island

*If I could make butter and cheese from milk I would swap for milk and coffee- but I can't imagine I would be capable

This is hard!

Rice
lentils
black beans
mixed nuts (is that cheating)
spinach
chilli peppers/flakes
tomato
a cheese
bananas
apples

I think I'd get used to not having caffiene and alcohol.

Butter is really easy to make from whole milk,.never tried to make cheese but I reckon it's doable.
