Hard to answer that because basically the first part is pantry items, then some veg, then meats for entree/mains, and finally some dessert/sweets/snack. So whatever I feel like that day I’ll cook.
been a chef ove 35+ years, this is the best “desert island scenario” I’ve come across…usually it’s just 1 item forever type things…
I don’t entirely understand the question. Do I have to carry the food on my back the whole week, or do I just have to carry it to the fully functioning kitchen, and then stash it in the fridge/cabinets? If the latter, is this the same thing as weekly grocery shopping?
Kayak to the island then carry it in to the kitchen. The trouble is that my normal shopping trip is too heavy to carry on my back on one trip, and would take up too much room on the boat.
Looking for some ideas as I will be stuck on an island for a week next month and will need to feed two people. I can devote a lot of time to making the meals, so it doesn’t need to be simple stuff. There’s pots and pans and such already there.
Seriously, why make a website and be quiet about it? Just because you have seen it (apparently far too often) so many others may not have and find it interesting.
How about you consider the ol’ “block user” tab and be done with it?
I’m just not interested in having another source of non-stop (undisclosed) advertising trying to appear as organic engagement and am announcing it publicly in the hopes that they either limit their use of it or to at least make others aware what the user is doing.
It would be one thing if they were announcing they own the site but it’s the only place they link to and it gets shoehorned into multiple communities with calls to go visit it.
Ah, ok then. My bad, I thought it may have been just a dude with a website & not “guerilla advertising” so I stand corrected…and will go polish my pitchfork and spark up a torch
I thought I was polite in my initial request that they cut back on linking their site, I don’t recall ever suggesting people collect their pitchforks and torches. Please be more dramatic :)
I’m guessing they have a typo in their graphic where the tenth cheapest drink is more than the most expensive. …dailymail.co.uk/…/83780847-13320199-image-a-7_17… I wonder how many other errors there are in their reporting.
It’s certainly interesting that people are exploring other options for creating hot dark beverages that taste at least somewhat similar to coffee, but it’s also entirely possible that synthesized caffeine makes its way into other beverages entirely. Obviously there’s tea as a substitute, but there are also lots of soft drinks and energy drinks with caffeine.
So long as caffeine remains cheap, increasing price of coffee will likely be met with caffeinated substitutes that have nothing to do with the coffee plant.
I find it interesting that they glossed over the simplest solution, which would be switch to buying sustainable, shade-grown coffee thus forcing coffee plantations switch to it from market pressure. But I realize it’s not the main topic of the article and that has its own issues - how to make sure it really is sustainably shade-grown, for one.
But also, maybe this is my cynicism showing, did anyone else think these sustainable coffee-esque options wouldn’t stay sustainable if they became popular? Especially with something like annual crops, once other companies see there’s money to be made they’ll jump on the trend and now land (and forests) is being cleared for these crops.
That’s about USD$33 for 180g (coffee is a drug so I assume sold in grams in the US?), so it’s nothing short of “pretty fucking expensive”, but still interesting (horrifying?) that a commercial coffee operation can work here.
You’d think that, but it is not. I buy 12oz bags of coffee. Alcohol is also sold in both fl oz and ml, so a bottle of beer is 12oz, and a bottle of booze is 750ml.
Hmm ok, well apparently 12oz is 340g, we’d never see coffee sold in that weight. Normally 200g (7oz), 500g (17.6oz, 1.1lb), or 1kg (35oz, 2.2lb). The one linked is a bit smaller than standard at 180g (6.3oz).
A more typical price here would be say $15NZD - $20NZD for a 250g bag (and slightly cheaper per g for larger bags).
$20NZD is about $12USD, and 250g about 7oz, so scaling up that makes it about $20USD for 12oz (including tax), so same ballpark! Honestly, I’m surprised. Normally stuff is more expensive here
Oh yes they are tiny, and have to cover costs from a developed country price point so no cheap labour. Plus they can only grow coffee part of the year (seasonal). Plus the unique aspect of it and limited availability would mean higher prices.
During periods of short supply and/or increased coffee has been often been replaced or augmented by various other ingredients. For example:
… during the American Civil War, Louisianans looked to adding chicory root to their coffee when Union naval blockades cut off the port of New Orleans. With shipments coming to a halt, desperate New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing things with coffee to stretch out the supply. Acorns or beets (cafe de betterave) also did the trick. Though chicory alone is devoid of the alkaloid that gives you a caffeine buzz, the grounds taste similar and can be sold at a lower rate. – source
