Minimal Food.

[Kate Mossad]

Is there such a thing as a meal that you could eat everyday for a year without falling prone to any deficiencies in your diet? I heard that Viet Cong fighters would survive for extended periods on nothing more than rice and some sort of fish sauce. I've also heard you could eat beans on brown toast all your life and be fine but this sounds like 'pub wisdom' to me. Any thoughts?

"ensure" ? basically nutrients in a frothy drink they give to people on liquid diets in the hospital

otherwise... baby formula?

why would you want to do this?!

i think avocado's cover many areas of nutrition, including having an unusally high fibre content for a fruit. i've always believed they are nutrionally complete, but i'm not entirely sure you could survive on them alone.

@empty mirror, thanks for the reply but asking the question does not mean that I want to do this, Just curious.

Ramen w/tofu and spinach along with the usual stuff seems to me to be a pretty complete (and cheap) meal. Excellent hangover cure too.

Kombucha?

Kombucha?

live culture, vitamins, minerals, a tiny bit of protein too if I'm not mistaken... it's all there except the required amount of THC necessary for the human body to survive.

Plantain fried in butter at 2.30 a.m. went down a storm at a party last night - there was plain original flavour and a spicy option with Tabasco and a little salt. Nyom.

Edit: this could just as easily have gone in Cooking Tips or Drunk Food.
