These might be good to stockpile for the siege, and add a disstinktive air to your meals, but care must be taken to avoid a lot of dissension and ill-feelings in the bunker...

Trying to go to the store less during the coronavirus pandemic? 24/7 Tempo has assembled a list of foods that won't spoil quickly, making them good choices to stock should you want to quarantine.
1. Apples • Shelf life: 2 weeks to 6 months The apples we eat in spring and summer were often harvested in cooler weather. That's because they're a fruit that can stay fresh and crisp for as long as six months if they're stored in a cold, dark place (such as a root cellar in winter). If they're kept in a fruit bowl at room temperature, they'll generally remain at their best for at least two weeks, sometimes as long as a month.

C Rat Poundcake! Take your sugar packet heat it up in your spoon throw in some coffee crystals, then drizzle it all over your pound cake. What a delight.
Do not need some C-4 handy to use as a portable heating device at least. The wife might find that a bit too exciting.
Weirdly, I did come to accept the "Ham and MF'r" once spiked with enough Louisiana Brand or Tabasco sauce and heated over plastic explosives.
"Beefsteak" still smelled like Alpo, but hot sauce cured most things.
And, who is going to want to steal them from you?
Other than some feral cats, maybe.

I used to pour the water from a can of tuna over my little buddy's dry food.
Problem was, he loved it so much he would not stop eating, gorge, and barf.

Saves energy and you can have hot food for 24 hours.
ping for later
20. Winter squash • Shelf life: 1 to 3 months
Wrong at least as regards Butternut. Home grown and picked in October and kept in a back hall (about 65F) - still good after 8 months. Praise God.
Oh, you betcha. Bottles of hot sauce were ‘contraband’ - but we still managed to have them. ;)
When I was a Platoon Sergeant, I always made sure my guys had hot water for shaving and all sorts of ‘contraband’ available. ;)
They would’ve followed me to Hell and back, LOL!
Thermos cooking.
I love that method. I camped for a week at a Appleseed event. First thing I did when I got up...boiled a pot of water. With that, I made a big cup of instant coffee, 5-minute oatmeal (with bananas/raisins)...and poured boiling water into a wide-mouth Thermos onto a packet of Knorr or Lipton pasta or rice side with a half a small can of canned chicken. Screw on the top...it’s ready to go by lunch. And still hot.
Hubby kept bees - 4 or 5 hives - for many years. I would save and label a small smuckers jar with the date. It all still looks good and such a variety of color. He even did cutcomb honey a couple of years and we still have some. The bees fill up a circular frame and then it is put in a petrie size plastic dish. It all looks as perfect as the day he harvested it.
We like basmati rice too. My Dad always threw a handful of barley in his chili pot. Barley is very nutritious.
I used to can a lot in old salsa jars with the original cap - never had one that did not seal.
