Maybe two years back - in what turned out to be a very successful effort to lose weight - we changed our eating habit to include MUCH less carbs (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, ...) and more eggs, meats, fruits, and vegetables.

Now we have turkey or lite ham SPAM just about every morning for breakfast - diced & fried with scrambled eggs, with diced onions & peppers. I know it is processed, but it is quite tasty and lasts a long long time on the shelf.

We also like canned ham - usually the smaller or mid-size cans, and the canned chicken is great in salads.

We don't so much have a stash of emergency food as much as have a fair amount of shelf-friendly food in our kitchen, and quite a bit frozen food in the freezer (clearly a concern if power goes out in summer). In our retirement home we have a whole house backup generator running on natural gas, so we should be good to go for a pretty long while.

Water comes from a well, and with the generator should be no issue.

The only think I can imagine that would cause a problem is a major earthquake, and those are just not common in the north mid west U.S. If there was a forest fire, then in the short term we're hitting the road with major credit cards, and not likely to be hauling much food.
