Is it the full 50 years?
Or more like 50 days while they sort out new emergency supplies?
Or eight years in order for new trade deals to be entered into?
Getting conflicting information from the media...
Let’s just say I wouldn’t go with a stockpile entirely composed of sashimi.
Never mind stockpiling, I hope everybody has got their supply of glittery unicorn food sorted.
Very good question, MissC.
At this rate we might end up with civil war, literally. How does one prepare for a civil war? Fleeing is the only thing I can think of, like the Syrians.
I’m going for:
- rice
- pasta
- tinned tomatoes
- tinned tuna
- wine
Can you freeze cheese?
I've just made two big jars of kimchi. That should keep me going for a week or two.
No chance of any Brexiteers looting the stinking forrin muck, either.
Can you freeze cheese?
Certainly hard cheeses and also mozzarellas in their bags of juice. Don't think Brie/Camembert and the like would take to kindly to it, although I haven't experimented with that.
I reckon Grieve has reached his limit, with Rabb behaving no more reasonably than the unicorn worshipping Cakeists. It's very very unlike him to be talking about catastrophe, stockpiling food and state of emergency.
You can freeze softer cheeses as well.
And butter.
Will freezers still be running after Brexit though.
If you really want to stockpile, medicines and alcohol will be among the best things to barter with. Along with baby stuff, probably.
I recommend bulgur wheat. Very nutritious, easy to cook, cheap, a little goes a long way and the grains keep for ages - if frozen, will keep forever.
We're going to be in a right state if the turnip suffers a blight like the potato did in Ireland in the 1840s.
I don't even like turnip. This is the worst Brexit news ever.
There will be plenty of gammon to eat if it comes to it.
Dig up your garden and plant potatoes then.
I have a very small garden which is Northeast-facing.
I do grow some vegetables in the sunnier side-return, but I have no experience with growing things that can be harvested in late winter (which is when Brexit will happen).
Any recommendations?
