"These recipes will be based on Potatoes, Milk, Flour, Eggs, and Kale. (Honorable mention to Pinto Beans and Carrots)"
Been a week since I saw any of those in shops, and can't recall the last time I saw kale.
As always the cheap staple foods and tins are the first to go in panic buying and you just know that all the stuff we usual meh at and lob into the food bank box's are the exact stuff people are now stocking and hoarding up upon, pasta, meal in a tin and all those other cheap meal options are now everybody's emergency cupboard of hardness.
Coz, 6 months or so - food banks are going to be flooded with everybodies reality hoardings, just to appease their own karma when in reality the damage is already done and the impact of fear has been born and played out.
- fragmede 7y agoWhere is that 6 months estimate from? I’ve seen as low as 2, all the way up to a cyclical 18 months from the Imperial College, so I’m just curious over the rationale behind 6.
- Zenst 7y agoIt was an arbitrary point of time - hence I said "6 months or so", but my feeling is that is when things will settle down and with that, be less fear and more common sense tractioning in society and either things sorted or daily life would of adjusted.
- jwilber 7y agoWhere are you living? I’m in Seattle, which, as far as covid-19 impact goes, is easily at-or-near the top of the list of impacted cities. I have not seen a shortage of anything aside from Clorox wipes in any of the groceries around me. It’s surprising to me reading about such shortages, especially in less impacted cities. Maybe the panic factor is higher for those who aren’t directly in the midst of it?

- BenjiWiebe 7y agoThe Newton Kansas Walmart has been out of a lot of stuff for a while. Like all the beans, rice, bread, sugar, flour, facial tissue, toilet paper, vitamin c, hand sanitizer, detergent, potatoes... They get stock daily, but within an hour or so it's cleaned out again. Definitely panic buying.
- joshtynjala 7y agoYesterday, QFC in Interbay was nearly out of canned beans, flour, and milk. I’m sure there was more that was low, but I noticed those bare sections in particular.
- seoulsubway 7y agoSeattle is not easily at-or-near the top of the list of impacted cities. I have no idea why you think this, you need to take a look at the coronavirus map for an idea of how wrong you are. Top 10? No. Top 25? No. Top 50? Sure.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoIf you are lucky enough to have any land at all, kale is extremely easy to grow

- Zenst 7y agoI don't, but have a few herbs growing I kicked off 2 months ago indoors on the window ledge. Oh and some spring onions, brought a bunch months ago, used for crispy aromatic duck, popped the ends into water and regrown a few times, reminds me I need to pot that now. Also planted out some sunflowers in the area I'd grown indoors, brighten up the neighbourhood and birds love them. Also some wildflowers I'll be starting soon, ninja out and about in a months time or so as well as some vegetables I don't have space to grow in my flat, but hey, planning ahead and may work out well for the greater good and good spirits are just as important than your 5 a day.
- ohiovr 7y agoI hope you right but I see don't see a recession or a depression. I see a siege.
- dehrmann 7y ago> can't recall the last time I saw kale In the Bay Area, I saw it Thursday. For the most part, produce has been pretty available, probably because hoarding it makes little sense.
