What would be eaten in T2K:

I am thinking danelions, millet as both tend to grow wild.

Rose bulbs would be used as a jam or even medicine <high in Vitimin C>

Thistles as portions of those are eaten.

Pine needles are a good source of Vitmin C


As for other items,

Insects, worm farms would be en vogue, A plate of worms served and slurped like one would spagehtti.

Rats, Rabbits and similiar small easily raised animals

Pigeons would also be another common fowl eaten, chickens and other fowl would be to valuable for their eggs and their size.

Fish, aquaculture in areas that can manage this could raise catfish and carp easily, you could turn a swimming pool into such a pond feeding them ground up table scraps.

A plant I have considered is raising two types of animals:

Chickens or Turkeys

And

Catfish or Carp

And maybe rabbits:

Rabits get the grain and grass and such.



Catch the fish, process the meat and preserve it, the cast off and bones get ground and fed to the chickens.

The chickens get processed, and the meat preserved. What is cast off is ground and fed to the fish.

The Rabbits, they just get processed and their cast offs fed to both fish and chickens.

Also, I can see fishing becoming more common much like in the days of old, people going out in rowboats.

In coastal areas I can see people raising muscles <easy really>

and harvesting kelp and seaweed.
