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.
oatmeal, rice, beans, tomatoes, spices, broccoli. each of those foods is truly non-negotiable for me and without one life is not worth living. thanks.
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. :(
Potato
I’ve often heard repeated that a human can live on water, potatoes, and salted butter basically indefinitely.
Not sure how true, but seems plausible.
“beriberi” is malnutrition: it means literally “i cannot”.
You become … not very able to do what you need to do, to survive, on this kind of diet, fairly quickly.
I know this is Lemmy and all, but, uh, beans.
I pretty much live off energy drinks and rice rn.
My dude, do you need some easy recipes? That can’t be good for your mental health.
No.
I need money to be able to afford better food.
Energy drinks are expensive, health and money.
Redbull and Monster are expensive. Venom and Unbound Energy are less than a dollar.
A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals
Too bad I only have $3. Cooking my rice in Unbound Energy instead of water.
Eggs chicken rice mixed greens broccoli
Well, not rabbit, anyway.
Potatoes, butter, salt, molybdenum.
Fortified soy milk, vegetable oil, popping corn and chaat masala. Apples would be nice too but not vital.
Gasoline has all the calories you need to survive for the rest of your life.
Any mushroom is edible…once.
I believe 2, chia seeds and water, although I don’t know if you will meet calories requirement so might be 3.
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.
I just eat whatever cook serves. Breakfast was pretty simple this morning: a choice of cereals, pastry basket, kippers with a poached egg, full English (just the standards - eggs to order, bacon, herb sausage, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled lambs kidneys, fried bread, buttered beans), followed by toast and marmalade, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh, and coffee. So important. Just a normal ‘breakfast’, you know, whatever one’s finds in the chafing dishes plus the eggs. So ‘breakfast’, does that count as one food item?
Have to be trolling right? Nobody is this oblivious and entitled… Right?
It reads to me like they’re staying in a middle class hotel
This was just the quotidian breakfast at Hossenfeffer Court. I suppose they might serve much the same at whatever counts as a ‘middle class hotel’, surely anything less would be grounds for complaint?
I’ve just taken a peek at the Savoy’s breakfast menu and it seems a bit spartan to me. No kidneys, no fried bread, no mushrooms, I’m troubled by their description of a ‘choice of egg’, and those modern, American, baked beans instead of traditional buttered beans. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking about?
Edit to add: crikey, just looked at the Ritz breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and tomato. And that’s it! The middle class do appear to have it somewhat rough. I blame the governement.
