Food Conversation: Observation In Adelaide

FOOD PRESERVATION

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE PLAN

Introduction

It has become clear that on Friday 18th of September, 2015, that Adelaide will be hit by multiple huge hordes of zombies. According to a classified military source all survivors will need to survive on their own for approximately six weeks before the international military forces will be in a position to deliver food supplies. This report outlines how the Stirling troop will survive the next six weeks.

Location

One of the best possible locations in the general area of Adelaide would be Stirling because of its low population of zombies and abundance of useful resources. Within just a few hundred metres there are multiple pharmacies, hospitals, vets, fire/police stations, petrol stations,

Nearly all types of seeds and nuts are abundant in Arginine, and last long enough on their own without refrigeration that there is no need to preserve them. They can just be stockpiled and eaten when needed, as long as they are kept in a dry place they would stay edible for

Beef is high in Histidine, Glutamine, Cysteine, Selenocysteine, Proline and Phenylalanine. Beef wouldn’t stay edible for very long at all unrefrigerated, but it can last up to 2 years when cured and turned into beef jerky.

The third food is Tuna. Tuna is rich in Lysine and can be easily preserved in oil. When preserved in oil it would still only last a few weeks, however, the jar can be sealed with a pressure cooker which would allow the tuna to last for months.

The next food in the diet is soybeans. Soybeans contain Aspartic and Glutamic Acid. Once dried they can last up to 12 months before losing edibility.

Another important food item is eggs. Eggs have massive amounts of Serine, Selenosysteine, Valine, Isoleucine, Leucine and Methionine. The eggs can be pickled with brine and vinegar in order to last for weeks.

The third most important item is seaweed. It contains Threonine, Glycine, Alanine, Tyrosine and Tryptophine. Olive oil and salt can be used to turn seaweed sheets into crispy chips that last years without refrigeration.

Lastly, there is pickled potatoes. Potatoes contain the last of the twenty-one essential amino acids, Asparagine. Potatoes can be pickled in vinegar and salt-water to last for many
