You’ve being exiled to a private island, and your captors will only supply you with five foods. What do you pick?
As I am on a private island, I am assuming it is worth buying otherwise it wouldn’t be private. So my island is supplemented with tropical fruit and other items I can use at my leisure. I am also assuming that my captures are delivering me raw foods that I need to cook for myself or possibly them as well.
After serious consideration my five foods are:
- Flour – This I could cook over an open fire and turn it into damper, pizza base, pancakes, tortillas or a cake.
- Eggs – They too are versatile and can be used in various forms.
- Cheese – I love cheese in all its forms—especially vintage cheddar and feta.
- Greek yoghurt – I use this in many ways. Both as a sweet and savoury additive for meals and to cook in.
- Vegemite – Being an Australian I couldn’t be without this Aussie favourite. Full of vitamin B, it would help keep me well while awaiting my rescue. It may also save my food from being stolen, as anyone who isn’t Australian struggles to eat it.
While I am waiting for rescue, I will write a recipe book on the ways I find to use my 5 foods in combination with the foods I find on and around the island. The exciting thing is cooking will turn into a pleasure again as I have nothing but time to think about what i will make for each meal.
Very practical. I probably would just have gone with my favourite foods and had a few versatility issues. 🙂
I’m a big pictures—pros and cons type of thinker. Glad you liked it.
Not the vegemite! You’re right – no-one in their right mind would want to nick it. The English alternative – Marmite – is sadly just as unpalatable. LOL
Not surprising I like it too but it is a bit sweeter.
I have tried vegemite – honest – but nah, not for me…
Trying Vegemite is a right of passage when visitors come to Australia. Most people don’t like it but the fun is in the trying. Some people cannot get past the smell. In our multicultural society it is fun trying everyone else’s foods.
Even the jar of Vegemite doesn’t look appealing. Great and well thought out choices.
Glad you liked it.
Practical…. Resourceful… and with a plan for the future! Ya got it all!
