Frankly, even if I were facing the Apocalypse, I'd rather battle my cats for their kibble than eat this.

THE. WORST. THING. I have ever heard of anyone eating was shown in one of those Globe Trekker episodes.
It was a fruit bat.
And it was cooked AS IS. No cleaning, no removal of wings, skin, bones, nothing.
Anytime I want to curb my appetite, I only have to think about that.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Quoth notalwaysright View PostI'm really disappointed that it's not even really canned, it's just a sandwich in a plastic bag, in a can. I have a couple Mountain House meals in my bug out bag. They taste pretty good! (yes, full of sodium, I know)

In my attempts to find a new career, after my journalism career collapsed, I took a pre-health sciences course. One of my teachers also taught a class on bugs (can't remember what program this was attached to) ... and at the end of the year, she'd bring in a local trained chef to create dishes whose primary ingredient was ... bugs.
I said it was a good thing I didn't take that class as I would surely flunk. She assured me you didn't have to eat the bug cuisine to pass the course.Customer service: More efficient than a Dementor's kiss

The animal? Fruit bat. Cue various people fainting/throwing up in disgust. All from the word "bat", after they'd raved about how wonderful the food was.

Some people think bats are very desirable as a meal, as shown in this movie clip."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

In a word, Purina Monkey Chow [or large simian chow] designed for critters that are very similar to us metabolically. Taste is nothing to write home about, but I have eaten worse [MRE dehydrated pork patty springs to mind. Blargh.]
I have some assorted bug out foods - I prefer to buy the canned ingredients [um, dehydrated turkey chunks tends to be my go to protein, along with dehydrated whole egg powder] I have a 5 gallon poly bucket of carbs [various potato forms, pilot biscuits, rice] and veggies [corn, green peas, string beans, tiny diced carrot cubes, diced onions, asparagus cuts, butternut squash cubes] and fruit [ cinnamon apple slices, plain apple slices, strawberries <YUMMMMMM!>, blueberries and peach slices] and various ingredients [butter, cheese, flour, barley, various noodles, seasonings and spices, honey, maple syrup, oats, and more that I am probably forgetting] so I could field cook for 4 people for a month.
Actually, my bail out plan includes 4 large dog kennels with a litter pan and ferret hammock, food and water bowls and a sealed poly bucket of cat chow and one of litter for our 4 cats, a smaller transport cage and supplies for our peach faced conure, 2 tents with ground cloths and a huge tarp for going over hte pair to create a shaded atrium in the middle. 4 retired army cots, sleeping bags, pillows and cot mattresses, 4 solar clamp lights, 2 strings of solar fairy lights, a folding table with built in sink [for 'cleaning fish'] and a folding table without a sink, a field kitchen [Coleman's folding field kitchen] my mess box [cookware, eatingwear, utensils and whatnot for preparing food] a poly bucket of lump natural charcoal with a package of wax firestarters and a BBQ lighter, a cast iron hibachi with a couple flat pavers as a heat shield, 4 folding camp chairs, and a large cooler that we normally keep in the momvan for grocery shopping, a 60 quart or so size. We have a car top carrier that mounts using the carry rack on top, so we can get everything including the backpack for each person plus my bail out pack of documents, ammo and handguns loaded and on the road in half an hour. Organization works =)
We have code words, and a bucket [meet up place previously agreed upon, we can determine which one by the code word used] in each area we normally travel in.
Yup, if the world goes to hell in a hand basket, my little family can reasonably manage to shelter in either a national park, state park or military reservation without any other supplies than a source of water [2 solar shower bags, 2 5 gallon water storage cubes and a katidyne water filter with purification tabs just in case]EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.
