104 Lost Foods Items That Can Be Used For Survival
Animal Bits
Modern farming means that meat is cheaper than it’s ever been, but in a crisis
it’s likely to get a lot more expensive in a hurry – and the collapse of our complex
food distribution networks will mean it becomes hard to find at any price. To
make the most of whatever’s available, it’s time to take some tips from what
people ate a few generations ago.
Even fifty years ago, there were a lot more cheap cuts of meat available in
butchers’ shops – and offal was common, too. Now, when most people buy
prepackaged meat in supermarkets, they want attractive cuts that are easy to
cook. Bits that used to be on dinner tables all over the country are now used for
pet foods or used to bulk out the meat content of processed meals. After the
SHTF, knowing what they are and what to do with them will mean the difference
between a balanced diet and enforced vegetarianism.
