Me personally? I could probably make it years on beans, rice, and greens if I had to. Collard greens, rice and beans, oil and spices to season them, and onions.
So glad I don’t have to, but if I had to choose that would be it.
With enough body fat, sprinkle in a bit of electrolyte and maybe vitamins and that’s all you need.
I remember reading of a supervised case like that, many months, if not a year. I couldn’t find it with a quick search.
I’m pretty sure I read/saw a more recent case. But this serves as a good source/proof too. Thanks
I’m not sure but i guess milk might be fine.
Consider how babies live off entirely milk for a few months, i guess it has everything they need. There might be a difference between cow/human metabolism or adult/baby metabolism though.
human milk probably does better than cow milk just saying
That depends on the results you want. Cows milk is absolutely amazing at helping your little heifer gain 600 pounds in the first 6 months of life. Do what you will with that info.
maybe nutrient-wise but not for my bank account :(
Gasoline has all the calories you need to survive for the rest of your life.
Any mushroom is edible…once.
Potato
Fortified soy milk, vegetable oil, popping corn and chaat masala. Apples would be nice too but not vital.
I believe 2, chia seeds and water, although I don’t know if you will meet calories requirement so might be 3.
I am not going to say “blood” because I don’t want any to discover I am a vampire ha so I will say sliced meat between bred, butter on various hot objects and various vegetables/fruits depending on the time of day.
bread
Pizza. Endless variety.
I just eat whatever cook serves. Breakfast was pretty simple this morning: a choice of cereals, pastry basket, kippers with a poached egg, full English (just the standards - eggs to order, bacon, herb sausage, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled lambs kidneys, fried bread, buttered beans), followed by toast and marmalade, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh, and coffee. So important. Just a normal ‘breakfast’, you know, whatever one’s finds in the chafing dishes plus the eggs. So ‘breakfast’, does that count as one food item?
Have to be trolling right? Nobody is this oblivious and entitled… Right?
It reads to me like they’re staying in a middle class hotel
This was just the quotidian breakfast at Hossenfeffer Court. I suppose they might serve much the same at whatever counts as a ‘middle class hotel’, surely anything less would be grounds for complaint?
I’ve just taken a peek at the Savoy’s breakfast menu and it seems a bit spartan to me. No kidneys, no fried bread, no mushrooms, I’m troubled by their description of a ‘choice of egg’, and those modern, American, baked beans instead of traditional buttered beans. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking about?
Edit to add: crikey, just looked at the Ritz breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and tomato. And that’s it! The middle class do appear to have it somewhat rough. I blame the governement.
Assuming stuff like vinegar or salt doesn’t count?
Rice
Chicken breast
Cheese
Pasta noodles
Tomato sauce
Soy sauce
Chicken, broccoli, coffee, cream, cashews, olive oil, some cheese and spices, blueberries. That’s 95% of my diet right now, and for the past four years or so.
Could I “survive” on less? Of, course. Do I want to? No. But, I may need to in the future.
Ah yes. The low carb low cholesterol diet of diabetics with cardio trouble.
I can do this when everything else in my life is on track, but when I’m depressed or anxious it’s all I can do to put any kind of food in my belly. I fell off the wagon about a year ago.
Keep fighting the good fight.

I don’t have the expertise to answer the question, but I’m sad that so many answers here are jokes, or five word answers that aren’t at all helpful :-(
Was really interested in this and hoped there’d be some knowledgeable people out there to educate us on this stuff!
