Beans and Basics
Well as folk panic across the world from that which we have
not mentioned yet because we have not reached the Letter C many things have
changed. One of which is folks shopping habits. Now I am not referring to the
Panic buying but to what folk are now filling up their food cupboards with.
Folk are thinking what will I need to have if I am trapped at home for many
many weeks and the answer is stuff like rice, pasta tins of beans, tomatoes and
fruit. Flour to make bread, dried or UHT milk and generally things that are not
very exciting unless you know what you are doing. If I say so myself I do make
decent bread so in order to survive long term all I need after that is a
freezer full of Bacon.
What many folk are not thinking about is what will they do
with all those emergency supplies when all this is over. I suspect much of it
will end up in bins or food banks. Keeping some emergency supplies is not a bad
thing but you need to make sure you actually enjoy eating them too. Because a
time will come when you will have to consider doing so or it is just wasted
money. I mean just how much Pasta and rice can a chap eat.
You can't beat a Bacon Butty
I guess what you P will be ;D
ReplyDeleteBasics can be different depending of countries, but for sure rice and pastas are a favorite!

I rather like pasta although would much rather eat the fresh stuff than dried. I think the problem is the amount of dried pasta and rice same folk are buying. Here in Britain there are already signs of folk throwing out fresh food that they bought a couple of weeks ago. There is certainly some very odd shopping habits about at present.
DeleteI can't find any whole wheat flour here, but there's still plenty of bread in the market! People are strange.
ReplyDeleteMy family can eat a LOT of pasta and rice, so I know we won't have to worry about too much of those.
I hope you're doing as well as can be expected, Rob!

In our little village we have a health food store that has been here for about 30 years I think. It is rather expensive but that is understandable it has always been something of a specialist market. Anyway just at present they are selling loads of stuff, I think they may be able to treat themselves to a new car after this.
DeleteAnyway they still seem to be getting supplies so I can buy stuff there if I need it.
And thanks all is well here. The advantages of a rural location.
