Smile

So far, it's beetroot, Big Soups and jam sandwiches. I reckon we might still be able to import some stuff, so maybe rice and beans will still be my staple diet. Coffee will of course be ersatz, made from acorns. What else will we be able to have?

Bone soup. Well, it would be if you had butchers anymore.

By Big Soups, I of course didn't mean meat-based ones Smile
Aren't they already synthetic?

While we're on this subject, only this morning at Suntan Towers we've been looking at what food we could stock up on in the event of food shortages/panic-buying/empty shops once the Brexit balloon goes up.

We'll be in Cyprus when it happens but are musing on the possibility of coming back to an empty larder and no way of replenishing it without getting stabbed trying to grab food in the local Tesco.

So far, our panic purchases include, 8 Fray Bentos Balti pies, 8 tins of corned beef, a big pack of Cadburys Smash and 3 tins of condensed milk.

Anyone else thinking about this?

Any suggestions?

Tracey Doomsdayprepper-Suntan-King Mr. Green

In Wales? Well, you could always eat some of those millions of sheep, instead of the blokes just dating them Laughing

The UK makes most foods actually. And they will be cheaper as they are mass produced instead of made by one old Frenchman on his steam powered 1920s tractor.

Tut Tut If Remainers say we can't have it, then we can't have it. They know about this stuff. They told me they do. So it's no use Brexiteers coming into this thread with their crazy fantasies.

If you're able to get back to the UK from Cyrprus post Brexit then everything will be cool, supermarkets won't have run out of anything and life as we know it will continue.

If, on the other hand, everything goes to shit then you won't be able to get back to your empty larder in the UK.

Wartime rations and all the fish you can eat. The obesity epidemic will soon be over.

Also Angel Delight.

Pah!!
You lot are amateurs. Up in the North East we're used to strikes, evictions and being resourceful.

Firstly - poaching. You lot have zoos in the south so start hunting elephants and chimps.

Nettles. The Romans were awesome and introduced some excellent additives to our diets. Rabbits (see poaching) and nettles - the blister ones.
You can make soups and hot drinks with nettles. Add some worms and you have protein.
Nettles can be used to make a type of fabric - there's your Brexit clothing. Dye the fabrics using gorse flowers for that pale yellow look.

Hawthorn and birch - pioneer species in the UK. Hawthorn provides berries. The pith from berries can make a type of preserve. The wood has high calorific value and burns hot - use it to harden wooden arrow tips for when hunting Tories.

I'd go on but honestly we grow a heap of stuff in the UK and will certainly get by. There will be some 'exotics' such as bananas and oranges which might become expensive but things like potatoes, beans, wheat etc are all grown and exported from the UK on a huge scale.

(Drugs? Harvest shroom types, dry and store for making infusions)

At that point, I lost interest in the idea. Laughing

You forgot doc-leaves. Can be made into a delicious pudding, provided nobody has wiped their arse on them first...

With the obesity crisis in most western countries you'd have a good few months to bring the food in. If anything it would increase life expectancy.

People are over thinking this.

The french want to sell us wine and cheese, we spend a shit ton of money on it, same as the germans want to sell us cars. Capitalism will win over, never in history of humanity has it failed to deliver.

Even if the EU place a trade ban, the companies that sell us stuff will use proxy trade routes via somewhere like Norway who have a free trade deal. I'm sure they would love to stick 1% on everything that passes through them, until a free trade deal with the EU is in place.
