SHTF food, if you could only pick 1 canned item.

I gotta let you folks know that peanut butter has 25% of your fat and 7 grams of protein in 2 tablespoons! That's some concentrated nutrition in an easily stored container.

dinty more beef stew, is there any doubt

 

[thompal]

You call that stuff "meat?"

Sure! It's right there on the list of ingredients: "meat product"

 

[thompal]

They make single serving SPAM in a pouch now too

Do you mean the can's aren't "single serving?"

 

[IndyBeerman]

I would go with beef stew or soup as well but you need to watch the salt and fiber intake... to much is bad and too little is bad..... you dont want to lose all that valuable broth to runny poo

Salt is a good thing, it helps retain water in the body.

I would need a lot of crackers though. Regular bread wouldn't keep.

There are a lot of good canned things from stew to soup, etc. However, I think that survival food boils down to calories per dollar. A can of Treet (Kroger's version of Spam) goes for $0.99 and has 840 calories; by comparison, a can of beefaroni costs that much or more and has only 520 calories. I'm not saying that one should have no "comfort food", but if you really want to stock up, cals/$ is a big consideration.

You need to get with your missus to start using coupons. We ain't paid anywhere close to a buck for Beefaroni. Use the coupons, get more food for the pantry...

Chili Man chili.

if cost is truly an object, Kroger Chili works too.

Doesn't the Ranger Creed have a line about the importance of respecting peanut butter?

 

[stormryder]

I will go with beef vegetable soup.
