trapped on deserted island

[brady73]

if you were sent to a desert island for 1 month with fresh water and means for fire if needed,and could take only 3 ingredients,what would they be?

[Peg]

Hot sauce (or fresh red chillies)
Avocados
Flour tortillas

[southernitalian]

Blue cheese
Crusty Italian Bread
Merlot

[rob_bob]

a boat
drums
wii

[PlasticMagnet]

Considering theres fish coconuts and water somewhere I would take
my guitar so I don't go crazy
chickens
and a machete to hunt and build shelter with

[clam sauce]

Linguine (would have to be dry with no refrigeration)
extra virgin olive oil
Stolichnaya Vodka

[stromboli]

Here is my list for the month:
1. a chicken...good egg layer
2. bag on onions
3. herbs de provance

[RiJaAr]

well, assuming you can fish and find mangoes and coconuts, you could probably also find bananas and various herbs.. why do you need ingredients at all??

[Cinnamon]

Assuming I have Diet Coke and that isn't an 'ingredient' - the other three would be:

-Lindt Excellence high-%-cacao dark chocolate
-Rice with a little sweet black sushi rice blended in
-Jarlsberg cheese

Assuming I can fish and find mangos for salsa on my own

[drobbia]

cases of top flight red wine
Cases of world class white wines including champagne
A very stury corkscrew

There is enough calories and water(vegtable water) to keep a person alive - and if one was to bring enough cases it would be a heck of a way to go!

[RiJaAr]

don't forget the coconuts and fish... you could have fish and wine every nite

[Sam Fujisaka]

Beans, rice, bait for catching fish.

[RiJaAr]

i am assuming this island has some trees, maybe palms so i could get coconuts... so i can drink coconut milk...and i could fish..

no refrigeration huh?
ok, i would take fresh mozzarella
french bread
(i have the survivor music in my head now)
ummm.. lindt milk chocolate
everything will be ok as long as you have chocolate.

[alex39k]

I would bring:

French Baguettes
Beef Jerky
Chinese Broccoli

if trhere was no means for refrigeration !

[steinpilz]

I generally agree with Karl and Tee, but will give this list (I'll assume there's something to cook in):

wine (a variety if possible)
pasta (a variety if possible)
tomatoes (canned whole)

[mamamia]

flour tortillas
a good sharp cheddar
apples

you can make a few things with these ingredients

[ike.]

is there a taco bell within swimming distance?

[missclaudy]

Corn, limes , crabmeat.

[souschef]

Wine, sheep's milk cheese, and tomatoes. I would fish, and eat bouillabaisse every day. Dessert would be wine and cheese.

[Non Cognomina]

Flour

Salt

Caviar

[sivyaleah]

All I keep hearing is a voice in my head screaming "WILSON!!!"

[brady73]

box of chocolates maybe?

[melly]

Wine,tomatoes,basil

[EricDC]

Bread
Peanut butter
Hard boiled eggs.

Take the bread, put on some peanut butter, add the whites of the hard boiled eggs and make a weird sounding but delicious sandwich that I could probably, if I had to, eat for thirty days. Take the yolks and, I guess, use them for sculpture or something?

[brady73]

i will have to try this recipe....ill try it out on the kids first though

[theannerska]

I love hard boiled egg whites and I've made sandwiches out of those...and yep, I will be trying that recipe soon.

[EricDC]

It's even better if you toast the bread first.

[GG Mora]

Bacon.

[Tee]

wine
women
song
I'm really sorry for that but it was the first three things that came to mind..............

[slacker]

Froghollow Farms peaches.
That's all I really need. :)

[brady73]

I'm stayin outta this one.

[Karl Gerstenberger]

Equipment? Knife? Bone china? Regional guide to edible plants? Hunting rifle?

This sounds like a bad idea for a reality television pilot. Survivor with no corny games and giggling bodies, just a bloke with three ingredients.

1. An abundance of delicious wine.
2. A variety pack of artisan quality cured meats.
3. Chocolate.

[brady73]

nice work Karl,my reason of questioning was more of a tolerance issue.im struggling myself to think of something i could eat everyday for 30 days.......good answers though.

[melly]

I assume twist top..on the island.

[Wanda Fuca]

Having actually been trapped on a deserted island... I would imagine I would enjoy being trapped with Karl. I might nix the meats since fish are plentiful... but I do love good cured meat... hmmm. A man bringing chocolate though...

I might opt for a hen/rooster pack.

[alliebear]

You've actually been trapped on a deserted island before?

[pescatarian]

grape tomatoes, hot sauce and cheese

[MMRuth]

Is this assuming no means of keeping food cold?

[brady73]

yeah good point.for arguments sake lets say no means of refridgeration.

[ricepad]

Shoyu and whole pigs. And I'd trade the third ingredient slot for more pigs.

[brady73]

what is SHOYO?dont think we get that down here.

[Blueicus]

Shoyu is the Japanese term for soy sauce. As for me, Flour, yeast, and salt.

[brady73]

maybe we do have it down here afterall.thanks for that blue.

[MMRuth]

I know that I've not come up w/ my own list yet - b/c I keep being stymied by the lack of a cooking vessel - my first thought - I'm sure b/c of the water/fire reference - was pasta - but I finally realized that I'm not going to have a nice big pot to cook it in. So, I'm wondering, what would you be doing with your flour, yeast and salt.

[brady73]

you could probably still make bread....ham sandwiches anybody?

[Blueicus]

Well, I'm assuming that with the ocena all around me I can always acquire good sea salt... maybe my third ingredient should just be whole boar or whole duck or whole cow (I'm just too much of a carnivore). As for flour yeast and salt I can make all sorta of bread over an open fire... I've found I can just eat bread all day long.

[missclaudy]

Let's get married!!!! I Love pig best!

[macca]

French Bread, Cheese and Chicken

[ipsedixit]

Salt

Japanese Yams

Fuji apples

[Wanda Fuca]

If you are trapped on a deserted island... salt surrounds you.
