Survival food is supposed to taste like garbage, that way you are not temped to eat it.
I went on blasts edible plant tour last weekend, and I would expand that definition to be that survival food is supposed to taste like garbage, weeds, and chitinous exoskeletons.
It's all good, but the chitin gets stuck in my teeth-you guys use any plant or animal products useful as floss?
you could use one of the chitinous exoskeleton legs as a toothpick.

Hey! That's not...well, okay. You survived though, didn't you?
Extremely bland and icky wild foods (with some of it that looks back at you) isn't supposed to taste good. It's purpose is to encourage you to get out of the canyon/desert/mountains and find a Burger King.
What incentive could be greater for a lost 15-year-old boy?

I have had these beefsteak nuggets many times, they are a poor choice for survival food, I eat them all up too quick to have them lying around on a shelve calling to me.
That is why you are supposed to hide your survival food away until it's needed - out of sight, out of mind

The last time I was in SE Idaho, it took me longer to catch the grasshopper that it did to catch the fish I used it for. Why would you use a grasshopper as a sishkabob when you can catch a fish with it??
