Hubby is addicted to survival shows. I Shouldn't Be Alive, Survivorman, Man Vs. Wild. He watches them all. We've gotten into some pretty hefty debates about what we would or wouldn't eat to stay alive. He says he'd eat anything. I think he's full of $h1t. My mom has bet him $ to eat stuff he hates and he's never won! So, in the interest of Chit-chat, fun, and games...

You're stranded on an uninhabited island. What one food could you absolutely not eat, even if it was the only thing available and you would die of starvation without it? And, what one food, if it were the only thing available, could you happily eat for every meal for the rest of your life?

For me: I could absolutely NOT eat onions, even if it meant my death. I COULD happily eat tomatoes.

    I don't think I could eat maggots or nutria ( those very large aquatic rodents seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu) even if it meant I was going to die. Maybe I could cook the maggots beyond recognition...? Maggot flambe?

    I would be able to live off of leafy greens: spinach, kale, chard, bok choy, etc. I'm not a health nut - I just really like to eat those.

    @sexymo - BWAHAHAHAHA ~ good one!

    I couldn't eat lima beans (I call them pitiful beans), and I could live off of almost any fruit - but coconut is a favorite when I think of desert islands...
  • I wouldn't be able to dig into I think it was bear poop to get some kind of berries or something oh and maggots feeling them move around in my mouth would make me vomit :( I could happily eat the lil cherry tomatoes

    I could not eat beets. Yuck. So I would have to go with beans. Unless I HAD to eat all of my exercise calories back- then I would have to say potatoes. :tongue:

    This. when in the usmc I did a cold weather survival course which involved a 10 day stay in a snow cave with no food. At the end I would have gladly munched just about anything. I began the course at 150 lbs and ended at 138 lbs and lost the least.

    I am a very picky eater, so I am not sure what I would do. I would prolly eat whatever it took to stay alive. Can Marissa Miller be stranded with me? Please!!!!!!!:love::love: :love:
