You should have lots of seeds for lettuce, tomato, cucumber, peppers, etc and pots of soil

Also buy a rice cooker and one or more of those 10 kg bags of rice. That and as much pasta and canned tomatoes as you have room for. And also pack your freezer completely full with pork, beef, and chicken, if you like those things. Or duck if you want to pursue the bartering route. Buy an extra freezer and fill that too if you're really paranoid.

Candy and dried fruit might also run out, get those, and vitamin tablets.

In any case, stock up on liquor and common medicine.

You have 60 days, whenever you go out to do the groceries, pick up an extra can of vegetables or two and a cheap pack of spaghetti, at least. Even if the Brexit apocalypse doesn't happen, they are not horrible things to have around.

Read up on the seige of Sarajevo if you want to have a good idea on food shortages in Europe in the recent era. Hard Brexit is effectively self-inflicted seige. The people who survived the seige there said that some of the most valuable supplies in the long run were Toilet paper, cooking oil, and spices.

Cropping rates on those are awful in the UK apart from tomato unless you've got a greenhouse or poly-tunnel, and that's only any good if we don't get a super hot summer like the last one which wiped out 70% of my yield. I like having farmers on both sides of my family, it's helpful. Go with tomatoes, use growbags and only one or two plants per bag, else when everything gets big in mid-june you'll run the risk of disease.

If you want something hard to gently caress up that is actually awesome and worth it, Pak-Choi. It grows like a loving weed. 4 growbags, you can pull a plant off every 2 days or so if you're careful, and that you can grow in every slot. Beware fungus.

Crop chat.

its not that hard to grow some lettuce in your flat if you get a cheap hydroponic setup:(~£20) and doesn’t take that long either. The concerned letter from yesterday said that 90% of lettuces are imported from the EU. That means that about 4 days after Brexit fresh lettuce will be practically unavailable and anyone who has a little indoor plant growing lamp and some lettuce seeds will be as rich as a lord in bartering terms

No, it’s useful as a trade good, not as food itself

Lettuce is loving useless as food, I have no idea why it’s as popular as it is

freckle posted:

If nothing changes (i.e. the UK revoking Article 50, a new referendum voting leave, the EU granting an extension etc., all of which are various stages of unlikely or, in the latter case, just move the problem into April or May), the UK will crash out of the EU on March 29 at 11pm GMT, at which point it will automatically revert to WTO rules for trade. Given that the entire UK economy is heavily integrated into the European trade and logistics networks and regulatory frameworks, and because there has been virtually no preparation on the British side for that, this would have very bad consequences for the British economy. Things like medicine and food shortages would be a very real possibility at that point.

If May manages to gather enough support for her deal, then the UK will exit on that day too, but under various provisos that try to make the transition as smooth as possible while negotiations about future trade relations can take place. I dunno how realistic this really is though, as I understand it May's deal would at best mellow the Brexit pains down from "extremely bad" to "pretty bad"

Just remember there will be adequate food, you may not have things like certain vegetables but gruel will still be available.
And don't be afraid to stab and eat your neighbour, some people say human flesh tastes like chicken.

Also, I know it was posted yesterday but that caller to the LBC radio show was just so bad. When he started talking about Brits being travelers and how he only wants to work for ex-colonies I heard the Eddie Izzard "No flag no country" skit. And no way that turd is 35.
