Imagine if it were no longer available tomorrow: what food item are you hoarding?

In other words... what food couldn't you live without?
I actually had to think about this, but if I knew I would never be able to get it again I would 100% be stockpiling grated Parmesan cheese. Or reduced sugar ketchup... or cottage cheese. It's a hard question! Makes you think about the foods we take for granted.

Fresh mozzarella or medium cheddar.4

They changed the recipe on the Fiber One brownies and snack cakes and completely ruined them.
I hit Amazon and all my local retailers looking for the old packaging and now have approx 220 Fiber One brownies in my spare bathroom I'm hoping they come to their senses and change them back in the next year!
Every once and awhile I don't have either oatmeal or overnight oats for breakfast, and I always end up missing it, so that would probably be the worst one.
I'm not really picky, so I could pretty easily roll with the punches if one major thing were no longer available. At least off the top of my head10 -
Seafood, sadly I'd have to eat it all in a very small window of time.2

Quest bars. Most of the flavors. I need them!!1

I did this when Twinning changed the formula of Earl Grey. I was able to get a 2 year's supply of regular, but not decaf.4 -

Sweet potatoes.
In 1929 my father was 9 years old when money disappeared and his father couldn't sell his crop of sweet potatoes.
The family survived the winter on nothing but sweet potatoes.
Dad lived to 2005 and never again touched sweet potatoes.22 -
Diet Mountain Dew.
First person who says anything about soda being bad for me gets a fat lip!18 -
My favourite cereal is already not available where I live (which is bad but also good since I'd eat it all the time). I'd have to say wine which we already hoard. I mean I could learn to make my own but meh it wouldn't be as good as the real good stuff.3

Cheese. I cannot live without cheese.7

A world without wine or cheese would be so sad
Must start stockpiling NOW!4 -
Bubblicious watermelon bubble gum.

These four items right here are my highest priority staples, along with a few other things. I would load up several moving trucks if they were going to be discontinued. I already stock up a deep freezer as each one goes on sale. 😁

You just reminded that I would stockpile Cocoa Pebbles. I may have to start this weekend.2 -
all the Morningstar stuff I like...spicy black bean burger especially...sausage, corn dogs, all of it except the chick'n whatever because I don't like that.
Also, Target's natural creamy peanut butter...mainly because it's so cheap (and tastes good). For some reason in the past year at my local store it went from $4-ish, almost $5 to $2.79 for a large jar and I'm not mad.
I'm not drinking currently but I sorta wish I'd hoarded the Shock Top Twisted Pretzel beer because it was fantastic in a horrible guilty pleasure way. RIP3 -

Mine is Cocoa Krispies2 -
Sticky white rice. Gotta have my Kokuho Rose. I buy it in 20 pound bags.
Lindor Chocolates. I would actually go bankrupt buying those if they just stopped making them.1 -
Now I’m paranoid that companies are going to start discontinuing my favorite foods. 😂5

Chocolate, ice cream, chocolate ice cream. Healthier sweet potatoes, salmon, vegetables.0

Pink lady apples1

Trader Joe's Ketchup. Seriously. It's the best-tasting ketchup out there and I use it on everything.1

If they were hoardable, I would choose avocado. But they'd all go bad by the end of this sentence.
Of food that stays, probably peanut butter. It'll be useful in the apocalypse.7 -
Plain yogurt, except it wouldn't last. Most of the things I would really miss are perishable (olive oil, avocados, tomatoes, garlic, cheese, ...) , so not much point to hoarding.
It's actually hard to think of a nonperishable food that I couldn't substitute something else for or make myself if it disappeared. Like, I love Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, but I could throw peanuts in the blender with a little salt if it disappeared. And I could live without peanuts if peanuts disappeared but the peanut butter didn't.
Oh, OK. Bacon. (It freezes well, so I would also need multiple large freezers dedicated just to bacon. Maybe a spare house filled with freezers filled with bacon.)2 -
Right now, pasta. I'm on a testing spree.0

As a Swiss I'd have to say good cheese - Gruyere, Gouda, fresh Mozzarella. I actually eat a small piece of cheese after dinner as my "desert" some days and really savor it - my kids think it's hilarious....or weird.5
-
Right now it would be Built Bars. After years of looking for the perfect protein bar, this is it for me! Love them!
Funny thing is, I keep ordering them cuz I’m halfway worried about them being discontinued, so I kind of am hoarding .
I would be very sad if there were no more Nutella 😥2
