Diet Apocalypse Survival Guide

Now I'm sure you've heard of zombie survival guides. And intergalactic hitchhikers will know of the importance of a good towel. But how do you survive an elimination diet? Well, dear reader, read on...

1.* Potatoes.
To be precise, fried, salted potatoes. They come in handy packs like this:

You might start out with a one-a-day limit for the kids. But a week in they'll be living on them :)


2, Pikelets/pancakes
Well, they're the same thing, really. One's just bigger and thinner. And you can make halfway decent ones with no gluten or dairy. And you can have golden syrup and/or maple syrup on them!

Oh yes, I've mentioned that we eat these everysingleday, haven't I?

3. Plain rice crackers.
You know, for when you run out/get sick of the chips.

4. Pears.
Peel 'em and you can eat 'em. They're apparently the most inoffensive fruit around.

5. Salt & pepper
Love them or live with zero flavour whatsoever.

6. Sugar.
See 5.

7. Magic cordial.
What better way to cushion the blow for fussy pre-schoolers?! Mix it with soda water and you have a very special fizzy drink.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 ts citric acid
Mix it over heat till it's all dissolved and you're done.

8. Vodka.
Seriously. (Mix with magic cordial - da bomb.)

There may also be times when a shotgun comes in handy.
