It seems to me that if the price of meat keeps going up, that the wild hog problem in America will be significantly curtailed.

I've never eaten wild hog. Some people say it's good. Some people don't.

Tuna.

Steve Austin lived off of raw potatoes and tuna in the pre stone cold days (certainly no anabolics..)

It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a recipe.


Few months back I bought a small blender, I drink right out of it. Throw whatever kind of fruit you like in it and a good size serving of Quick Oats, blend for 20-25 seconds, park it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and you got yourself a good tasting and nutritious slerpy-whip.
Frozen fruit should be fine, better than nothing, I've got to where I can't eat any more plain Oatmeal, I'd as soon eat a bowl of dirt.
A banana makes a good drink to me also canned pears, you won't know there's oatmeal in it.

I got a free 12# turkey at Town & Country grocery back before Christmas, seems like the price on the receipt was pretty cheap meat. Going to cook it and keep enough out to eat and freeze the rest in small containers, enough for 2 good size helpings.

I'm going to round up some lintels and give them a try, heard they were good food for years.

Dropped off some pecans with my local Commercial fisherman friends this afternoon... they were shrimping, but are now sharking (I assume the shrimp tonnage was met and the season ended).

I asked for some shark (wanna try some more fish jerky ("Shark Bites" I will call them Tabasco and Ghost marinade)).

He said sure... shark is only fetching $0.19 a pound at present.

That seems like "Low cost nutritious food" to me...


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

,...gotta be careful with a diet like that. It might have worked for Steve Austin, but it also could turn somebody into Dog the fuggin' Bounty Hunter.

$0.19 a pound won't even pay for diesel... damn racket for sure.

I'll eat shark. It's just a fish.

There's a big cattle farm a mile down the road. If worst comes to worst, I'll go down and buy one on the hoof and pay him to haul it to the butcher for me.

I'd do it before I went hungry. But I'm not a huge beef eater. I like it okay. But I can do without it and not miss it all that much.
You need to make an appointment. The small time packing houses around here are swamped with business. I butchered 2 beef cattle last February and ended up with 1000 lbs. of vacuum sealed beef. One was a huge fat 1/2 Brahma cow that quit having calves and the other was a somewhat fed white face 1/4 Brahma steer that I got from my neighbor. Not real good beef but not bad. My kids their spouses and kids are eating it and happy with it (free). I've been getting corn fed beef fat from a store and grinding and mixing it with the sirloins and chuck. It tastes about like the bison I've eaten. Country folks will eat, maybe blackbirds but they'll eat.

Been living country my whole life and see no reason to quit now. Our 3 acre pond is full of fish, our woods are full of wild game and we always have a decent garden. Freezers are still full from last year, we could use some more staples. Those who didn't have enough ammo are probably the same ones who don't have enough food. Nothing is low cost compared to last year, and it's probably going to get worse.

Good evening to you sir, I hope the day's been going according to plan for you and you're still all well.

While I don't know if you've got anything like this south of the medicine line, up here we've got a chain called Bulk Barn where one brings their own jars or containers into the store - they've got to be clean spotless however - they'll weigh the empty and away you go.

We buy our oatmeal, 9 grain porridge, bulgar, dry beans, molasses, spices and a bunch of other dry goods there. It's amazing how much money seems to be in packaging. Spices in particular are typically less than a quarter the cost of individually packed containers.

When I'm making bread, meatballs, meatloaf or hamburgers I add rolled oats.

If one has the storage room lentils can last decades if stored in a dry place. They're bland and take on the taste of pretty much whatever they're put into. One can add them to the meatloaf or burger to stretch it as well.

This is a good discussion Bristoe, thanks for starting it.

All the best to you all this weekend.

Dwayne

Guts.

Liver, kidney, heart.

Chicken gizzards and hearts.

I love gizzards, pressure cook them tender, flour, S/P, garlic powder,
Try in butter and olive oil.





Can't get any cheaper than real rice and dried beans.

I appreciate the info. I don't know of any place like you mention. But I'll look for them.

This winter I got a deal on sweet potatoes.
They are excellent condition and although they don't store as well, they aren't bad if cooled for a couple of months. Very tasty carbs and surprisingly good for most. Diabetics should try some and test too.
Other things on sale lately are cabbage, which can be fermented. Onions too, as celery and anything produce in season. Right now, I'm prepping for the spring garden.

Thanks for the reply and good luck in the search.

We're lucky in that we've got a bunch of storage for stuff, so supposing you're the same.

Beans, rice, pasta etc are stored in those big gallon pickle jars that restaurants use. My wife found a dozen at a flea market or someplace?

Plastic tubs with a lid work fine too, but jars look cool and are easy to keep track of the amount left.

Buying bulk and then on sale too is how we've always shopped.

Good luck with the food shopping and thanks again for a productive thread.

Get to know your local locker. You would be surprised how much tongue and heart are pitched. Bones can be cooked down for bone broth. Potatoes, beans,dried peas and rice is cheap
