What was the joke again…
“Humans can survive off a diet consisting of potatoes and butter, as demonstrated by a years long case study commonly known as Ireland”
Something along those lines.
yikes, scurvy much?
try brocolli and eggs
Potatoes are A ok against scurvy (unlike eggs alone who can come along for the ride though, because hash brown and fried eggs, yum)
I know this is Lemmy and all, but, uh, beans.
Listen, taco bell has maybe 10-15 ingredients and has an infinite menu item…
Pizza. Endless variety.
Does Soylent count as 1 item?
god I miss Soylent. Cooking/eating is a huge burden for me (depressed and lazy) so I drank the heck out of Soylent when I was in the US. Now in Japan the only thing close is Calorie Mate and it’s not nearly as good/nutritious. :(
Eggs chicken rice mixed greens broccoli
Alls I know is it isn’t ichiban noodles. I ate those for 3 straight weeks and almost lost my nails and hair.
Nutrition is really important yo. Eat your veggies and balance your fibre and protein.
Egg-bread & scrambled-eggs ( with a multivitamin every other day ) can get you FAR, ultra-cheap ( if you ever need to get through a month on nearly-nothing ).
( obviously this isn’t long-term, this is short-term-survival stuff )
add-in carrots, if you can.
A bit of broccoli makes a BIG difference in one’s health.
Do what you can to get some omega-3’s into you: our bodies can’t make them, & if our bodies have to make omega-6’s & omega-9’s, apparently they just run mitochondria backwards, to do it.
Even a tablespoon of olive-oil / day will help your body keep functioning.
Gasoline has all the calories you need to survive for the rest of your life.
Any mushroom is edible…once.
I read once that a person could survive indefinitely on potatoes and milk.
I don’t have the expertise to answer the question, but I’m sad that so many answers here are jokes, or five word answers that aren’t at all helpful :-(
Was really interested in this and hoped there’d be some knowledgeable people out there to educate us on this stuff!
Eggs and potatoes?
Me personally? I could probably make it years on beans, rice, and greens if I had to. Collard greens, rice and beans, oil and spices to season them, and onions.
So glad I don’t have to, but if I had to choose that would be it.
My mum said when she had no money she lived off eggs, rice, spring onions (which you can just continuously regrow from the bulb) and dried fish.
I don’t know the nutritional facts of this meal, but it worked for her.
If you switch out the fish for chicken or something like spam or corned beef, and add onions and garlic, that’ll do me.
I love food way too much it’s probably like 15 to 20.
