104 Lost Foods Items That Can Be Used For Survival

85. Poor Man’s Meal

Meals made with cheap, simple ingredients don’t have to be boring. Dice some
potatoes and an onion, sauté them in a pan and add some sliced hot dogs. Then
season, add tomato sauce and simmer until the potatoes are soft.

86. Scrambled Dinner

Scrambled eggs are simple to prepare, and if you have your own hens they’re

cheap. They aren’t very filling, though. Melt some butter in a skillet and, before
pouring in the eggs, tear up a few slices of bread and fry them for a couple of
minutes. Then add the eggs and some chopped vegetables – asparagus works
well. This will add a lot more bulk to the eggs, and turn them into a satisfying
dinner.

87. Potato Pancakes

Mix equal quantities of flour and mashed potato with salt and baking soda. Add
milk and an egg, mix it into a stiff batter, then fry in a skillet. These are cheap,
filling and tasty. Try serving them with butter or sour cream, or as a traditional
breakfast item.

88. Oatmeal Pancakes

You can also make pancakes from oatmeal. Use two cups of oatmeal to one cup
of flour, add milk, an egg, salt and baking powder, and fry in a hot skillet.

89. Bean Soup

Dried beans are cheap and loaded with protein. They also make a very versatile
base for all sorts of recipes. With beans and some chopped onion you have a soup
base that can be enhanced with chopped pork, leftover meat and vegetables,
foraged greens or anything else you have lying around. Soak the beans the night
before to reduce cooking time (and save fuel).
