T2K Cuisine - Food in the aftermath

[General Pain]

What would people eat I guess it's all up to GM on how heavy the apoc. has been and how long ago it has happened.

I'd guess in the big (formerly big) cities rat-o-van (rat run over by a van) and the like would be possible ....or maybe the PCs will see the following sign

In the NYC part of my current campaign Rat-On-A-Stick has proved to be a very popular dish with the locals. The funny thing is my group are mostly former Harnmaster players so we are all fully accustomed to that sort of urban snack from our Harnmaster PCs having partaken of it innumerable times.

I advise you to watch this french movie if you can find it: "Delicatessen". It's a nice idea that is perfectly relevant to canibalism in a post-apoc setting (a rare type of movie in France).

Here is the link to the english wiki on it.

In response to the question, the simplest answer is "whatever they could get their hands on".

In areas with European agricultural influence (Americas, Europe, Some of Africa) i would expect the staples to be grain based gruel, bread and beer. Asia would, as always, focus on rice. Each would be supplemented with what ever vegetable and meat protein they could find locally, including insects and rats.

I saw that a couple years ago. Interesting but it didn't really grab me. And everyone was just too weird. I think its on par with preformance art or Circ Du Oile or Circe De Sol or one of those similiar just to out there.

Although the irony was good, the butchers daughter liked the handyman and was also trying to save him.

I had not thought of it that way but I understand what you mean and that is quite true.

Imagine -- a roach coach where they actually serve roaches...

And when you call someone a "goat smoker" its because they really do smoke goats...

[Raellus]

Horses and dogs would go pretty fast, where food is really scarce. Rats too; Pigeons in urban areas.

In terms of more organized agriculture/animal husbandry, seems like goats would become popular again, being as they are relatively hardy and will eat just about anything.

And then, there's always Soilent Green...

Funnily enough we have a veggie who works in our office and at our office party I asked if the reason she was a vegetarian was moral or because she didn't like eating cute furry animals or she just didn't like meat. She replied that she didn't think it was moral to kill something else just so she could eat. So I said if an animal just died of old age would she be okay with eating it then - she thought about and said she couldn't see why not.

So I bought her this for her birthday a couple of weeks ago:

It's actually pretty practical!

Does she not know that plants are also alive

Yes, as long as there are people, there will always be Soylent Green. Tastes like chicken!
