“Don’t ever forget the old adage, variety is the spice of life. You have an unlimited supply of spirulina, meal worms, rabbits or even wheat. I don’t care what it is. You better have a lot of something to go with it because you’re going to get sick of it really fast. “

It’s a true saying. It’s Human Nature to complain of the same food day after day. An example would be the Israelites in the desert eating manna for forty years.
A more modern example: Those same 12 MRE menu choices in the Middle East got old fast after a few weeks. It was food but no fun.

Food needs variety. Stock up on Mrs. Dash,spices, bouillon cubes, gravy, salt, black peppers, tabasco, etc. Just my two cents.

Johnny says the same thing about food when he worked the hash line.

It's called menu fatigue.

There are actually 24 MREs in 2 groups of 12. Good luck getting a unit to pay attention to what they order. I always did, but I cared, since I had to eat the stuff myself.

For longevity I recommend adding some heirloom/non-hybrid hot pepper seeds to your garden kit. A number of these peppers can be strung up to dry and can then be added to dishes months later.

But I also recommend putting them on the other side of the garden from your bell and sweet banana peppers, as the bees will cross-pollinate them for you (personal experience here...a cayenne/bell pepper is rather spicy when you aren't expecting it).
