ThyPeace Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 >Carrots (I'm tempted to just say root vegetables to get beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and jicama) Ya, nah, that'd be cheating Sure it would. But hey, it'd give me more to trade with those folks who've got coffee and nectarines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottagequeen Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I just said greens cuz I get this container of mixed greens that I use for all kinds of stuff. It has kale, chard, mizuna, and a few others, all baby leaf. Hard to separate them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachchica Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 These lists are a great source of new food ideas! Here's my current list: water (seems obvious, but no water = no bueno) coconut EVERYTHING (sorry, but I really can't pick just one and my entire list would be full of coconut-this and coconut-that) eggs zucchini apples sweet potatoes olives (with which I will also make olive oil) chicken salmon lemons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachchica Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 By the way, doesn't a Whole30 Island sound totally awesome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Whole chicken (need dem bones for broth!) grass fed beef berries baby salad greens (the tub from Costco) mayo eggs almonds coconuts lemons or limes onions sweet potatoes and if I could have more--tomatoes, mushrooms, cabbages, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower--I could trade knitted sunhats for coffee and nectarines!

kirkor Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I feel like the next step is to take this list and try to make a meal plan using only these foods. I'm thinking about doing this for a month...tweaking my ten items now. Going to count "chicken" as a meta-item since I could have meat & eggs within the spirit of the game.

Going to count "chicken" as a meta-item since I could have meat & eggs within the spirit of the game. Oh, that's quite a challenge, any reason why? Would you dump something like coffee so that you can put in more food items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's something I've contemplated before, related to batch cooking, menu planning (Tuesday would "always" be pot roast night, e.g.), ease of shopping, speed & consistency of cooking, dialed-in calories & macros for fitness purposes, etc. I've been dairy-free keto since the first of the year, and so my food choices are already a lot narrower than most, so it probably wouldn't be too terribly difficult. The coffee I'm leaving in, partly because I just really like it made from an AeroPress over ice, and partly because I think it's fun to use one of the precious slots for it, kinda like a ship captain choosing who gets to go on the lifeboat.

dactyl14 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have to admit I am in a bit of a rut and eating the same thing most mornings and afternoons.

I am a lover of the japanese sweet potato (purple skin, white flesh...the one that Mark says he finds too sweet). ladys, the ones you love (japanese) are the ones I grew up eating as a kid in TO. Or rather they're the ones my mom always bought and steamed. It was her mid-day snack. I was curious about the Okinawa variety. Do they keep their purple hue after they're cooked? Are they less sweet, more neutral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they less sweet, more neutral? I'm in love with the Japanese ones. The ones that I bought to try had a purple skin and purple flesh and yes, they stayed purple. The color was, quite honestly, kind of offputting. Combined with the really pudding-y texture of a well baked sweet potato it felt a little like eating a cooked Muppet. So there was that. The flavour of the one I had was like.....dirt? Mould? Straw? I found it very...er....yucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evaq Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hmm, maybe you really did eat a muppet? Cooked moldy straw huh? Hmm, I won't be rushing out to chase it down. Thanks ladys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnaeve Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Great question! I just started so it's good to get more ideas. COFFEE lol Whole chicken Sockeye salmon Baby spinach Avocado Eggs Olives Spaghetti squash Brussel sprouts Mixed nuts I am noticing my list is heavy on the healthy fats. Wonder if that's ok. Haha Spices are a given. The one noncompliant food I would take would be raw honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiedoll Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Wow, this is hard! Chicken beef coconut greens eggs pepper avocado sweet potatoes onion fish If these are just the foods you'd bring to an island, you could get really sneaky and bring non-food items separately.. like a fishing rod.
