No, just going through a survivalist phase after various media scares about fuel shortages. Googled rations, and erbswurst and tushonka intrigued me as something that might supplement staples which I've never tried before. I can't find them in local stores though, hence I'm asking if anyone knows where one might find them in the London area, and what other stores might be a good mix of keepability, availability, economy, and palatability.
Pemmican. Failing that, beef jerky.
Apples can keep for months if kept in a cool, dry, dark place.

Tins.
Almost all tinned vegetables last for months, I bought some tins of baked beans just the other day, the best before date is May 2011. Same goes for some tinned petit pois I got months ago, their sell by date is June 2011. The other great thing about tins is they're very easy to find
EDIT: I'm not sure about tinned meats, but they probably last forever as well, and for pudding: chocolate. Food that keeps is more common than you might think.

You wouldn't happen to have a nice new bunker in the backyard?
I'd second dry meat, pasta and rice, and tinned foods. Don't forget plenty of water, you'll die of thirst before you die of hunger apparently. Not to mention that rice and pasta need it to be edible. Also the long life milk lasts for years.
How about sugared nuts? They are basically fat and sugar - full of energy. There must be places which sell them. Buy in bulk and save!

Turn the meat between every couple of hours or so and take the separated fat off. Once the meat is almost black and has hard texture, its ready. Done properly such dried meat lasts years in room temperature. When you want to use it, just put it in water and it swallows acting like normal minced meat.
Great and light stuff for trekking, but not bad for survivalist either.![]()

Honey is a good one to have, that can be used in many things, or eaten plain. (but I warn you, it is an acquired taste.) And may I ask exactly what brought on the survivalist phase? :P
