I’m a veggie, I don’t eat spam, what can I stockpile!

[Oopupsideyourhead]

I can’t eat spam fritters as I am a vegetarian so Aibu to ask for your stockpiling suggestions for Brexit? What can I live on with 2 kids?!
Lentils?

Pasta (I presume there is vegan friendly types)

Bit confused what you think pasta is made from.

Tesco do bakes beans with veggie sausages in x

Tinned beans and veggie sausages. It's yummy and filthy (you will be fine!)

So where does everyone think the food is going to go after brexit? What's the stockpiling for?

Tinned pease pudding. Nothing else. You'll be able to enjoy it hot, cold, nine days old etc.

Left to rot in lorries at Calais Groot

Or left to rot in fields here

But tinned food won't? What you all stockpiling that for?

Some pasta has eggs in it BlackForest

@MoteOfDustInASunbeam why would we leave crops to rot here?? Surely we'd harvest them and eat them?... I'm rather confused. You're all hysterical and not making sense!

To use instead of the fresh food that’s been left to rot Groot. So if you go to the shops to find no peppers (as they have been delayed on way from Spain/Holland/wherever) you can use the jar of peppers in the cupboard. Because the first hundred people who went to Tesco to find no peppers earlier that day have already cleared them out of the frozen/bottled ones.

Im sure all this talk of stockpiling is really encouraging leavers who think it will be just like WW2 rationing, spam, landgirls etc

Farmers already complained of having to leave fruit to rot this summer because there weren’t enough workers available to pick it Groot.

With all the stock pilling of beans, I’m now having the added concern of the ozone layer, if we’re living off our stores!

Marmite. Dont forget the marmite.

Fruit left to rot in fields-BBC article July 2018

Ahh... i guess that makes sense.
@MoteOfDustInASunbeam do you really believe it will come to that?

Tins of

Vegetables (peas, carrots, sweet corn, etc)
Potatoes
Soup
Baked beans
Spaghetti
Beans (kidney, chickpeas, butter beans, etc)
Lentils
Custard
Rice pudding
Fruit

Dried/cupboard items:

Cooking sauces
Passatta (sp)
Cereal
Oats
Biscuits
Peanut butter
Jam
Pasta
Rice
Noodles
Soy sauce, chilli, condiments etc
Nuts
Crackers
Milk
Flour and other baking ingredients

That’s just off the top of my head for a veggie. Plus don’t forget toiletries and household bits.

Thanks for the link, I genuinely missed that at the time!

Won't it be safer to stockpile things that don't need cooking in case the national grid goes down? What about water purification tablets? ;)

Maybe just lots of gin?

The most important question is... where on earth are you all storing this food?! My kitchen just about houses a weekly shop!

Groot, did you know that many farmers have had to use this years winter stock to feed their animals, because of the unusually dry summer? That means they’re now having to import from Europe. Even if we leave Europe with a deal, the price of imported goods will go up, including feed. We’re looking at panic buying if we have a hearse winter and no deal. Buying now, gives me peace of mind and cushions the blow of raised prices.

As for looking silly and wondering what we’ll do with the food, if everything is fine. I don’t know what you normally do, but I plan on eating it.

Vodka. All of the vodka. At least thats my plan anyway.

And I forgot to add water and other drinks to the list.

Mrs Hinch has all the cleaning stuff so I'm afraid there will be no cleaning here after Brexit
