[Anonymous No.13797173]

whoever posted this, you were a prophet, apparently.

anyway, recipes from food that keeps easily, then? I usually keep stocked up on rice, beans, canned and frozen veggies and buy meat in bulk to freeze so I don't have to shop often besides for fresh veggies.

One of my favorites is red beans and rice since it's cheap, tasty and it keeps well so I can take leftovers to work and such.

>Yeltsin asked customers about what they were buying and how much it cost, later asking the store manager if one needed a special education to manage a store. In the Chronicle photos, you can see him marveling at the produce section, the fresh fish market, and the checkout counter. He looked especially excited about frozen pudding pops.

>"Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev," he said.

>The fact that stores like these were on nearly every street corner in America amazed him. They even offered free cheese samples. According to Asin, Yeltsin didn’t leave empty-handed, as he was given a small bag of goodies to enjoy on his trip.

>About a year after the Russian leader left office, a Yeltsin biographer later wrote that on the plane ride to Yeltsin’s next destination, Miami, he was despondent. He couldn’t stop thinking about the plentiful food at the grocery store and what his countrymen had to subsist on in Russia.

the normies bought all the onions because they read on facebook that it cures corona
really, I mean all the onions, the garlic too.
I can understand the rice, the pasta, the potatoes and even the flour hoarding (even though they don't know how to make bread, the yeast is all still in full stock)
but the onions of every variety that I can buy so cheaply for myself normally here are all gone, the town is completely devoid of onions

I never thought my tipping point would be onions guys but this is seriously eating away at me to know how many hundreds of pounds of onions are rotting away right this moment in some welfare preppers moldy living room

They last for months and are extremely versatile, naturally the demand for them would be greater than for any other vegetable.

I go through a lot of onions and had just finished 2 bags of yellows, I'm now limited to what frozen onions I have to ration out between meals but the real issue is that if this keeps up we won't be able to get any onions for quite some time unless we join the crazed mobs before it's too late.

>>13797784
why the fuck would I want soy?

>>13797781
the normies are going to store them with the potatoes they also took and they're going to all rot within weeks

I just made some depression era potato soup from scraps around my house.

7 big potatoes, chop them up and let them boil in enough water to cover them.
After they've started to soften chop up half an onion and three small carrots and add them into the water.
Add four cups of chicken stock to the water (I only had stock cubes and water but that works), then season with salt and pepper. Let it boil again until the potatoes are done and then set it to a simmer.
On another burner melt some butter and mix in enough flour until it forms a loose dough in the pan. Cook that dough on the pan until it smells nutty and buttery and put some milk on top of it, then whisk the dough knob and milk until the milk dissolves it. Pour that stuff into the soup pot and give it a good stir.
Taste for seasonings and add any herbs you like. I used some dried chives.
If you have an immersion blender you can blend it into a thick soup, or keep it chunky if you prefer.

There you go. Nice hearty soup for a week.

Also forgot to add, this soup freezes easily and can be kept in the freezer for 3 months.

Almost all of Australia's fresh animal produce is sourced entirely within Australia

If shit hits the fan hard enough that you can no longer get fresh food, it's going to be hitting hard enough that you'll be REALLY upset that you bought a bunch of perishable fucking food

[Anonymous No.13798400]

the problem that i predict in australia is that most of our transport is petrol based.

We export food, coal, and uranium, so we won't run out of food or electricity. But we import oil/oil products.

Most of our transport of goods is powered by diesel, which we import. If we run out of it distribution will be very difficult and while we may have plenty of food in the country shortages in populated areas may still occur.

[Anonymous No.13798443]

The people mocking people buying food annoys me more than the panic buying. Oh no, the horror, people have some food in their house! Governments are quarantining around the world, what's wrong with stocking up a few weeks of food and items for peace of mind?

So many people don't have more than a few days worth of food in their house, so of course they are going to buy more than usual. As for others saying supply chains are not broken. They are not broken NOW, but as some estimate up to 70% will get this flu, they can easily be broken later, especially in this just-in-time economy. Again, having some food stockpiled gives you peace of mind.

And it's not like the food will necessarily go to waste, pasta and canned food lasts for years.

I got my rice, I got my beans, I got rice and peas, filler chili, rice-flour pancakes with mushy pea stuffing, root vegetable and chana curry on rice. Mofaka, I got beans and I got rice.

Rice and peas for four with leftovers:
>Soak 1 cup of dry kidney beans overnight. If using canned, just drain and rinse... or don't.
>In deep skillet, saute pan, or wide pan, begin to caramelize 2 tbsp sugar in 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Burn it, see what I care.
>Add one coarsley chopped onion, stir well, and cook until at least softened. Add 1-4 finely chopped scotch bonnets.
>Dump in 3 cups rice, and fry until fragrant. It's all fairly good for this, but arborio and basmati seem to work best.
>Add 2-5 cloves of garlic, minced, about 1" of shredded/julienned ginger, 1 tbsp allspice, 1 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf, a pinch of cumin, maybe a dash of clove or cinnamon if you're feeling adventurous, and your beans. Stir frequently until fragrant.
>Switch over to crock pot at this point if you don't have time to check on this every 15 mins or so
>Add 1 can of coconut milk, 1 28oz can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of water, and 1 bouillon cube (chicken, veg, beef, fish if you're feeling fishy). Reduce to simmer, and stir occasionally.
>Once reduced to a paste full of crunchy rice, add a cup of water. Stir, lid, and remove from heat (or turn to keep warm setting in crockpot).
>Check on it in 30 mins. If the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, taste check your seasoning - you may want some lime juice, soya sauce, worcestershire, salt and pepper in there. A chopped green onion/scallion or two couldn't hurt either. If the rice is still goopy, just let it sit longer. It'll soak everything up.

Now you won't die of starvation.

Emergency rations are one thing. Panicking, and buying 20 bags of pasta, 40 cans of premade sauce, and 8 loaves of bread that will go moldy before you toss it in the freezer is quite another. Even if the people here quadrupled their usual purchases on a single shopping trip in a single week, the shelves wouldn't be as permanently, tactically empty as they are. Who the hell hoards white bread?

I've wondered if the reason stores are sold out isn't as much people are hoarding but all the people that don't ever cook are now stocking up. That's a significant increase in customers.

[Anonymous No.13798494]

>>13798488
I think it's a bit of both. People that don't cook are buying food, people are hoarding, people that normally eat out for lunch at their jobs are working at home, it all piles up.
