yep eating a few gherkins when hungry is enough to put you off other food for a good few hours - and they are cheap. Maybe instead of soup kitchens or food banks there should be Gherkin Bars.

I often get a couple of gherkins out of the jar if Im hungry, I just LOVE them. Ive also found Aldi instant cup a soups over here, 75 cents for 5, the mushroom one is superb as is the onion one, just like french onion soup with cheese on the top. Great on a cold day when you've come in from the animals.
Ive just had a bowl of chicken curry made from bits of last night's chook, onion, peas, mushrooms and salsify. Ive just discovered salsify, I buy it frozen over here. Its great in stews and things like that. YUM!

I do NOT like gherkins.  I'd rather be hungry.

The goal posts are slightly different if you are feeding more than one.  I assume you can change that to £15 for three people, which makes it slightly easier regarding quantities etc.

Dairy farmer Richard Gibson swaps the damp surroundings of Devon to live and work with Samburu tribesmen in the parched and desolate mountains of northern Kenya. lived on blood and milk for 6 months

[Womble]

Now milk and honey I could cope with, but milk and blood? YUK!!

[RUSTYME]

Black pudding ?

[happygolucky]

we watched that but not from the start and I was amazed that they do not eat thier animals but just drink thier blood, I thought how healthy and wonderful they looked, beats walking around in muddy wellies with a dirty green coat on!!!
Anyway, its our 3rd day of stew, still more to come........

[RUSTYME]

Muddy wellies and a dirty green coat ? That's me ! Nothing else , just muddy wellies and a dirty green coat !

We need a flasher smiley  , I however have several jumpers, brown, blue or black trousers and of course my undies.......then, under it all, a good layer of fat!!
 

[Lesley Silvester]

Very important that good layer of fat.

gherkins might as well be pickled frog for all i care to eat them...


we refer to the gherkin slices in burgers as sliced pickled dead frog, pickled gherkins are nasty!!!

You've not lived till you've eaten gerkins or pickled frogs

 For all those who thought my £5 survival menu's are cheating because they are basically free and therefore  not allowed,  would it make any difference if I charged you 5p  per food group .? 
 you could also pay the farmer  50 p and ask if he'd let you take a drink or three from the milking goats , sheep and cows

  , lots of people used to take a swig of milk when milk bottles were commonly left on doorsteps in the morning...
