Yes, and he didn't say Bacon so it's already invalid. – Stephen-Aegis Feb 17 2011 at 11:38

If there was little possibility of rescue, I'd want the following items:

Cheetos, Almond M&Ms, chocolate ice cream, strawberry Pocky, bologna sandwiches on white bread with lots of mayo, spicy pork tamales and french fries.

That's because I'd really, really hate being stuck on an island and would not want a very long life...

  1. Grassfed beef. If I have to be specific on a cut, well-marbled short ribs.
  2. Sweet potatoes.
  3. Salted Kerrygold butter.
  4. Pastured eggs.
  5. Macadamia nuts.
  6. Blood oranges.
  7. Green & Black's 85% organic chocolate.

The last three are pretty much for my sanity. Since I'll be alone on that island, my macs, oranges, and chocolate will make for good perfunctory company. I probably won't name them "Wilson", though. :)

Blood oranges are a good addition -- anthocyanans + vit C. – Jay Feb 17 2011 at 19:08

Wow, only 7? That's hard.

1) Lamb - I may have said beef but I just had some lamb for the first time in a while the other day and WOW it was delicious

2) Salmon

3) Chickens/roosters - I'll raise them for their meat and eggs, haha!

4) Raw milk

5) Broocoli

6) Kale

7) Wow, this is rough. I'll need to throw something sweet in there, too.

except #3 is cheating. i said food, not animals. otherwise i would have chosen endless cows instead of beef and raw milk. – Jack Kronk Feb 16 2011 at 20:29

Lamb for the win. But if you can get anything, throw in some exotics like seal, springbok, kangaroo, ... – sean Feb 16 2011 at 21:11

  1. Grass fed beef (I'm assuming we get all cuts?)
  2. Pastured eggs
  3. Raw milk. I would skim it for cream and drink it straight. Could also make butter.
  4. Potatoes
  5. Raspberries
  6. G and B 85%
  7. Macadamias

And I will boil the water for sea salt :).

Onions are the substitution if any of these items are unavailable

  3. Pigs (bacon,etc)
  4. Chickens (eggs and meat)
  5. Grapes (for wine and sweet desert)

  • Strip Steaks
  • Mac Nuts
  • Really old, hard cheese (screw salt)
  • Cream, the stuff so thick it sticks to the spoon
  • Bacon
  • Thyme
  • Oysters

I've learned thyme is delicious with everything, so it deserves it's own spot.

Well this might be cheating but

Billy Goat - Breeding, and meat

Nanny Goat - Breeding, dairy (primal), and meat

Rooster - Meat and Breeding

Hen - Breeding, meat, and eggs.

Bag of the best fish I can find whatever it may be (Salmon, tuna, sardines, cod, bass, pike, etc.) And hope there are both male and female in that bag - Breeding and meat (Omega 3)

Survival Seed Bank Canister - Carbs, and vitamins.

Fertilized Queen Been - Pollination, and the rare treat.

No room left but if that seed bank came with seeds for olive trees in 30 years I'd be rolling in olive oil :)

That's what I'd take. I might have to forego the meat for a while until the animals are need. Just eggs.... Might need someone with their 7 to come along with me or I might get hungry and start nibbling at my goat's leg.... Or would sheep or beef be better?

I'm realizing that I'm so boring that the environment would be the only thing that would change. I'll take the probable paradisiacal weather over what we have here though.

  • Grass Fed Cow. (if 1 cut, Chateau-Briand)

  • Raw Grassfed Dairy. (if one type: Butter)

  • Okinowan Sweet Potatoes.

  • Organic Baby Spinach.

  • Wild Boar. (if one cut, Thicksliced Bacon)

  • Garlic. yes I put Garlic in or on everything.

  • A Good South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon

Its already the Basics of my diet now. I wouldnt complain a day with the above. However if we limited it to specific cuts overall, id have to use a slot for Liver, just for Nutritions sake. Probably give up the Spinach or Tubers for it.

7 seems like a lot to me. i dont think there was really that much variety in aHG diet during any one season or geographic location.

1) a red meat ruminant (bison, cow, sheep, deer etc) bonus if that animal produces raw milk

2) some kind of starch tuber

3) sea salt/edible clay

4) some kind of wild edible green (miner's lettuce, lambsquarter)

Old post, but fascinating. :-)

  • Wild swordfish from pristine, untouched waters...

  • Wild boar (unlimited marrow sounds wonderful....)

  • Raw milk. Clever culturing could produce yogurt.

  • Aloe Vera!

  • Brussels Sprouts

  • Sea Urchin - Something lighter and cool. Oysters...?

  • Ducks! (For pleasure, and richness...)

The deserted island almost sounds preferable to home, with its unlimited foods and potential beauty. Foraging, firewood, tools, and shelter would be a bit of a worry, and it would be a bit lonely. But, otherwise, this island sounds quite wonderful... :-)

Assuming I could identify the native plants, creative spices would potentially be creatable.
