The store I went to last night definitely had issues with the standard nonperishable foods. Canned goods and boxed dinners were sold out, and people had bought up all the medium- and long-grain rice and the standard three or 4 kinds of beans(navy, black, pinto, and chickpeas). However I was able to find several pounds of millet and quinoa as well as several kinds of beans that most people don't have any experience eating. Also nobody had bought any of the textured vegetable protein or any of the other non-perishable foods that most people don't normally cook. There was also tons of non-wheat flour, several kinds of short-grain rice, and a lot of breakfast cereal and granola. Suddenly all the years I've spent buying and learning to cook "strange" foods is paying off. Also the people buying "non-perishable" foods are going to suddenly discover how important sauce and spice is when they're eating their unseasoned white rice and beans every night for the next year.
