Right there in your own home---


enought toaster crumbs to make up a pot of mush--
ok..sometimes things get a little heavy around here so i thought i would try and lighten up a bit--

Excellent. What else are we overlooking?

Bellybutton lint as fire tinder?

You'll find more food behind the fridge and the stove... yuk!

Look under the stove top, amazing what foods hide there.

Many parts of the cockroach are edible.

Family pets.

Blast,,all parts of the cock roach are edible!! Remove the legs if they might trigger your gag reflex as they're going down.

Don't forget about the large amounts of "mystery meat" that is to be found at the bottom of the refrigerator. If I remember right, our wonderful USCG cooks used to make "Mystery Meat Stew" about every 4-6 months.

On good authority, but I hear it's mainly a 'guy thing' (guys don't cover microwave dishes): scrape all the debris from the ceiling of the microwave.

Now, in a woman's kitchen... many of us answer the question "Is the pasta cooked enough?" by flinging a forkful at the wall behind the stove; if it sticks, it's done, if it falls, it's not. Pull out the stove and scrape up the remains (still needs cooking).

If you can eat cockroaches, you can probably check out all those Tupperware containers on the bottom shelf of the fridge, way in the back. Shake them a little, and if you get a response (tiny cries, scratching, etc), it has evolved to a higher life form, and can probably be killed and eaten.

That's also the "fun" part of gathering up the "Mystery Meat" from the bottom of the refrigerator compartment!!!

Side note to CANOEDOGS: Thanks for starting this thread. I did need a break!!!

Mmhmm, a dog is a fine meal.

Don't know why I bothered putting together a car kit. It's already filled with hidden survival rations, (aka. Mcdonalds french fries) and probably about $50 in loose change.

I thought those were only firestarters. Multipurpose = multigood.

Don't forget all the yummy things you can scrape off the radiator.

And the windshield.

Well, yeah, and then go to the library and check under the tables for desert.

Speaking of scraping things off the hood... That makes me think about a re-designed car bra: Have a mesh collector on the front of the car that can collect flying insects and confused birds. It could bring a whole new meaning to 'going to get some food".

Boy, talk about a "to go" order.

Hey Sue,

Why not have it funnel into a pot near the engine block? Then whenever you stop, you got a hot meal waiting.

Is this thread making anyone else hungry?

Speaking of humor and since "the season" will soon be upon us:
