I would struggle to eat bland food and of course if reduced to eating rat etc then at least the seasonings would help the taste

Aha I'm not into highly spiced grub but some of the latino community on another forum are really into hot spicey peppery grub, and salty sea food stuffs, They had a good chat bout 2 years ago and worked out that for health they actually needed to have access to about 25% more fresh water than most folks do. Perhaps you need to think about increased water supplies in your preps?

As standard I always have 300litres of drinkable water held in the house not including my outside water butts of 660 litres plus 10litres in bug-out-bag not including portable water filter bottle. So not too bad!
