If you haven't actually raised chickens, you don't know the cost. If you are thinking of letting them "feed themselves", You need a buttload of land, a good dog, and fencing unless you want to feed the local predators.Interesting thread !
Besides most people being able to have a small garden for veggies, even apt dwellers could raise stuff in pots.
I guess meat would be tuff. That being the case, probably simplest solution would be chickens. Which would provide meat & eggs.

A nation of entitlement.I remember some of those recipes from when I was a kid and they are delicious.
If WWII was fought today we'd all be speaking German and/or Japanese.
No way this current generation could take on the sacrifices our fathers and grandparents did. We've become a nation of girly-men.
Interesting thread !

Steve Rinella - CoyoteI wonder how coyotes taste. There's a lot of them around here.
This is an honest question. We have deer, elk and turkey wander across the property as well as coyotes. Coyotes would be last choice, but . . . .

I guess the soldiers eating Spam had it better off.
Eat corned beef instead. Much better-tasting, better for you nutritionally, stores and prepares similarly. No need to buy or eat SPAM at all in a time when corned beef exists, as it does now.Spam is what we ate for breakfast when I was a kid camping in Northern Wisconsin.
It is still a staple in our hurricane kits today.
Spam is awesome!
I had a friend who grew up in South Louisiana on the bayous. They lived on fish, crayfish, turtle meat and whatever could be foraged as far as greens and lots of taters!

Last summer my grandson and I caught a very large snapper in our pond. Well you know the deal you kill it you eat it. We looked at lots of you tube videos, talked to lots of locals who had "turtle" history, and then proceeded to butcher. Hard work! I resorted to power tools at one point due to my lack of strength! We butchered that bad boy that weighed 15 pounds dress out and cooked him. It was a delicious dish that I would make again...if someone else would do the butchering. That shell was hard to get off!Softshell turtle is a delicacy. I can't say the same for snappers.

I'm watching the video now, it's very interesting! Just got to the part about beef tongues and beef feet being the only meat available. Recently I've seen those for sale at HEB. Hope that's not a sign!
Thank you!Psychgirl well literature says it has 7 different tastes. I found it to be predominantly beef like. good texture. In fact some neighbors just thought it was some sort of beef dish. I did warn them before they taste tested! Very tender. Very lean. Just a lot of hard work to harvest!

The Spam of that day had very little meat in it compared to today's version. Don't ask how I know this.I guess the soldiers eating Spam had it better off.
