2,210 calories and 134 grams of fat

squirell nutkin · 02-02-2010, 07:55 PM

That's only half fat.

Here's a quiz:
You are on a foodless island for one year and have only water and one of the following foods to take with you.This is a survival consideration, not a favorite food question.
Which of the following would you bring?
1) Peaches
2) Broccoli
3) Hot Dogs (organic, kosher,etc)
4) Chocolate
5) Romaine Lettuce

I wanna say peaches, but something tells me that the answer should be chocolate

Nirvana · 02-02-2010, 08:04 PM

broccoli

jinx · 02-02-2010, 08:05 PM

Are we supposed to assume that the water around the island is also foodless?

TheMercenary · 02-02-2010, 08:19 PM

The water is filled with onions.

Clodfobble · 02-02-2010, 10:07 PM

It's gotta be either the hot dogs or the chocolate, or else he wouldn't be asking.

squirell nutkin · 02-02-2010, 10:12 PM

yeah, hot dogs or chocolate. The other foods don't supply you with any fat. you'll die.

Well, some of you will die.

lumberjim · 02-02-2010, 10:12 PM

I think I might could last a year with what I've got stored

Undertoad · 02-03-2010, 04:16 AM

well the hot dogs would go bad after a day or two

Sweet onions have a shorter shelf life than common varieties due to a higher water and sugar content. Thus, it's important to store them properly.

Ideally, sweet onions should be stored in a cool, dark, dry location and spread out for optimum air circulation. Most growers suggest placing onions in a clean pair of pantyhose, with knots tied in between each onion, then hung in a cool, dry place. Just snip off below each knot when you need one.

Stored properly, sweet onions should last in your pantry about ten days to two weeks.

Cut, raw onion leftovers should be tightly wrapped and refrigerated to be used within a few days.

Although sweet onions are best eaten raw, they can be chopped and frozen for future cooking uses, with no blanching necessary. Frozen onions begin to lose their flavor after about twelve months in the freezer.

so what's the answer? I expect to be on a foodless island this afternoon and this could really help me pack.

The hot dogs would probably keep you alive longest with protein and fats, but with the chocolate, you'd die happiest.

Depends on the island. He didn't say "tropical" island. I'm thinking one of the islands off the northern coast of Baffin Island would keep those hot dogs safe for a year. Of course, then you would have trouble drinking the water.
