Grapes Plums will be our only relief.

Considering swapping my green beans for either broad beans or broccoli as both can be used in more than one way.

For all those without meat, where are you going to get oil to fry things?

For all those without meat, where are you going to get oil to fry things?

Avocado will provide fat. There's nothing much I'll need to fry, though.

Potatoes, sometimes, I guess. In avocado oil and sweat.

 

[Mation]

I should really be in bed and not thinking of frying foods in sweat.

I'll go to bed to do it. Mmnm.

 

[tim]

Can we have a beverage too. Like BEER?

I'm taking wheat and grapes which can be feremented to produce beer and wine. The potatoes can be fermented and distilled to make vodka.

I will also ferment some of my brussel sprouts.

I thought the appearance of raspberries seemed odd, but I couldn't put my finger on why. Can't have raspberry wedges, roast raspberry, raspberry dauphinois. Not that you chose milk. Do we have an excuse for milk?

Two questions:

1) Does a ready meal count as a "staple"?
2) Does the desert island come equipped with a microwave?

White pepper counts a a work of Shakespeare, for sure.

Is changing cumin for panch phoron cheating?

Yes. Sorry But you could have it next time you got washed ashore, if ever you got rescued from this island and were prepared to get on another boat and it met with a similarly dire fate.

Two questions:

1) Does a ready meal count as a "staple"?

1) Yes.
2) No, but my island does.
