Reminds me of the scene in "Never Cry Wolf".
The US Government biologist is dropped off in the snowy wilds of Alaska to study wolves. They sent him with a canoe, a rifle, tent and crates of "supplies". The crates turn out to be full of Government requisition forms, "In case you need anything." No food.
When his tent is overrun with field mice, he remembers seeing the wolves eating mice by the dozens. So, he cooks up a few - "Not bad."
Went he relates his problem & solution to a neighboring Indian/Eskimo, the neighbor replies, "Good idea!"
Great scene, great movie!
