The post-apocalyptic cookbook

[Wastelander]

Let's do this, fellow gourmets and gourmands!

In this thread, we share and discuss recipes that should remain viable under TLD conditions and also taste nice, because we all have a wellbeing-bar in our lives  I'll start with some:

Tamago kake gohan

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice (ubiquitous and lasts almost indefinitely)
• 1 egg (Personally, I live in an area full of chicken farms so I'd probably find some)
• Soy sauce (Should be fairly frequent in the first year after the apocalypse)
• Salt

Preparation:

• Cook rice with salt and put said rice in a bowl
• Crack egg over rice, add soy sauce
• Done

It's a popular breakfast dish in Japan and I, personally, sometimes eat it for dinner when I'm low on money. It's tasty, cheap and the ingredients last for a long time.

Meatbread

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of bread (only available ~1 week after apocalypse in packaged form, freshly beaked loafs may become available later)
• Meat of any kind
• Optional: Cheese, onions, spices, other stuff

Preparation:

• Cut off one end of the loaf of bread and empty most of the interior. You can eat the leftover bread or use it as bait for snares
• Stuff meat and other optional stuff in it
• Bake until the meat is well done to minimize parasite and food poisoning risk
• Done

I make this very often in a more sophisticated manner for my RPG groups as a snack - it's tasty and way cheaper than ordering pizza once a week. Can also be made over a campfire, although using raw dough instead of bread makes more sense there.

Survival Hotpot

Ingredients:

• As many nettles as you can find
• Water
• Salt

Optional:

• Meat, veggies, what you can find.

Preparation:

• Toss it all into a pot and boil it 'til the nettles don't sting anymore and any optional ingredients are done
• Seriously, you can't do anything wrong with nettles except eat them raw
• Done

I actually made this a few times in my life when I was totally broke, and it's surprisingly tasty. Guess they don't call nettles the poor man's spinach for nothing. Works surprisingly well with canned tuna and onions! Watch your nettles though - don't take the ones directly adjacent to roads or paths, there's car exhausts and dog urine on them.

The Strong Dark

Ingredients:

• 1 tall glass, like the ones used in Long Island Ice Tea
• Coffee
• Vodka (or whatever booze you have at hand)
• Maple Syrup

Optional:

• Dirty Harry
• A cut-up rifle round to decorate the glass with

Preparation:

• Boil coffee, mix everything together. Make sure the maple syrup properly dissolves
• Get wasted

You don't want to know how much I enjoyed this when I finally got my hands on a bottle of maple syrup (which was HIDEOUSLY expensive). Good thing I don't have a drivers license I guess.

So, what are your recipes? Foods, drinks, desserts all welcome!
