Post-Apocalyptic Nutrition
In the comments, an anonymous reader writes,
I don't know what apocalypse this person's writing from, but let me tell you, the one we're in doesn't offer much variety in the food. Supplies are limited; we've been surviving on canned peaches, beef jerky, and vodka (ever since I finished off the gin). And somehow, mixing beef jerky and vodka just doesn't sound all that appealing.
I'd hoped that when we reached Georgia and Jimmy Carter's army, supplies would be better - but hell, this is the damn peachtree state. More peaches, that's all they have here. One group is working on getting some hydroponic farming going, and other groups have been scavenging the outlying areas for more canned food - but it's a good thing I like peaches.
Next time we have an apocalypse, we're totally using a different caterer. This I swear.
You are weird. Peach vodka and martini, really. What happened to good old margaritas. Milking the end of the lime is normal. But _peach_? From a bottle?

Not having a copy of the Apocalypse (Revelations for you Protestants) handy, I can't read up on the cuisine in the book. We can be sure that the Four Horsemen had to have been carrying some oats or hay or something for their horses. Perhaps oatmeal is the most apocalyptic breakfast one can find in that Book and in ours? Anyway, I'm worrying about lunch and dinner. I suppose hot pastrami sandwiches would be in order since the last battle is to occur at Megiddo in Israel and hot pastrami on rye with some really spicy brown mustard would be just right. As far as dinner is concerned I'm stumped. I can't figure it out. If the Apocalypse occurs on Friday night then a standard Shabbat dinner with brisket would be perfect, but what if it happens on another night? How would this Apocalyptic Night be different from all other nights, dinner wise?
Robert, you're making me hungry.

Are you all on the same diet? Would you be willing to participate in a clinical study on the effects of peach and vodka on serotonin levels? In my extensive research I've found that this diet is indeed becoming pretty widespread in this postapocalyptic world of ours and it would be a shame to waste the opportunity to tinker with your plasma
