The author of this article is a condescending a**hole.

Ask some of the folks down New Orleans way if a stash like this might have come in handy a few years back.

Very good point. Fellow I know from Walcheren Island in Nederland had a huge supply of tulip bulbs in the attic of his house. That extended just above sea level. When the polder dykes were bombed in WWII he lived well and made some money. Later, during the Springflud, he did the same.

Many Dutch people store tulip bulbs for their value as a renewal emergency food.

I agree the author is bad.

But I like the idea of stocking up so I knew if I posted this someone would have tried it and would give an opinion as to it’s taste I figure while you can you might as well find out what people recommend along these lines.

Actually, we barbecued from our freezer for a while. By that time, the National Guard came in and we were given MREs. They were pretty good. Our church alone served over 100,000 people in the next couple of months following and over 300,000 meals. We were without electricity/cable,water etc. for a while but being outside of New Olreans the water subsided much sooner. The only good thing was that we were pretty much all alone in our area and the peace and quiet was kinda nice.

I've heard about pallets of MRE's being sold by those folks.

It would only have been handy if it had been above the 12 foot water line.
