Also, people seem to hoard-buy things like bread rather than dried
foods.

So long as there's power, I've personally got a about two weeks of
food. Bread would be interesting - I could do lots of unleavened
bread type things (pancakes, blinis, tortillas) from scratch, and a
small amount of regular type bread (couple of bread making packs with
the yeast included). Tins, dried, frozen foods.

Hmmm.. Maybe I'be better check the flour stocks. Atm I've two or three
weeks worth of food to hand though the menus might get a little novel
towards the end.

No power and we're down to what I can cook on an old open fireplace -
and I don't have a large store of fuel, which means "use the frozen
stuff NOW and keep the tins for later", which means things will get
more limited.

Lots of ducks on the canal - very tame, should be easy to catch with a
bit of old bread for bait ;-)

Protein shouldn't be too hard but carbohydrates will be tricky. As usual,
in this crowded country, althogh I might find enough wild food for a couple
of people within a reasonable range there will be a few tens of thousands
of, mostly inept, competitors.

It could get messy.

Cheerio,
