Tasty Options For Your Emergency Food Supply
If a major storm is coming and it's time to evacuate, what do you take with you?
For one, you need an emergency food supply that can stay fresh without the need for refrigeration.
Actually, you have quite a few options ranging from the simplest dehydrated meals to canned goods that remain safe to eat for long periods of time.
The problem is protein. Meat needs refrigeration to avoid spoilage. Canned fish such as tuna, salmon, or even sardines are a great source of nourishment that don't require refrigeration. Packaged in amounts that avoid leftovers they can sit on the shelf for years until they're needed.
Variety is another problem -- as anyone on a diet knows. Eating the same thing again and again gets real old, real fast.
- Whole chicken in a can, while not the most appealing product, does bring poultry to the table.
- Another good option is Spam.
- You can even find canned beef and turkey to round out your menu.
- Here are 2 weeks of emergency food supplies to consider keeping on hand.
The whole point is advanced planning can make a huge difference when it comes to emergency food preparation. With a little advanced planning, you can include most of what you normally eat on a day-to-day basis into a lifestyle that doesn't include refrigeration.
That way, when the rescue team does finally arrive you can simply ask them to please pass the Grey Poupon.
