Is there a single food that you can survive on forever?

By Ellen Airhart September 18, 2017


Potatoes are awesome, but not enough to live off of them forever.

For all of 2016, Andrew Taylor ate only potatoes. There were a few caveats: He ate both white potatoes and sweet ones, and sometimes mixed in soymilk, tomato sauce, salt and herbs. He also took B12 supplements. But, overall, he ate potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He took four blood tests over the year which he claims all came back normal. He even lost weight and felt more energized.

Sweet potatoes are filled with nutrients, even the canned ones.  White potatoes are not.
One could live if all she/he had was sweet potatoes.

When I was a poor grad student I survived on mostly potatoes and ramen, and was none the worse for it.

@Frank Cannon I think corned beef hash was the best thing ever canned.

Spaghetti or country roast.

If it is a single item food, I'd have to say yams or cattail.

When I lived in Yemen, they served Spam as a pizza topping.

I've kind of been wanting to try some Spam.  You can get all kinds now.

You've got that right.  My husband and I tried a can of it fairly recently wondering if we might have been missing out on something delicious like your corned beef hash all these years.  We had not.  It was inedible and went straight in the trash.  I can't imagine how they've been able to stay in business all these years.
