STRANDED ON AN ISLAND:

WHAT ARE YOUR 5 MUST-HAVE
GOURMET FOODS?

BY CAL OREY

No recipes today. Imagine: You are stranded solo (or with friends) on an isolated island for one week--you can order in five fine foods of your choice... Think Cast Away or The Beach. You've got water and fish. No worries. So now choose five more foods that you would love to have with you. That's it--only five.

The most creative, innovative, and heathful fab five foods group answer will make you the winner of one free book--of your choice (olive oil, vinegar, chocolate), penned by The Writing Gourmet. Good luck!

  3. Super creative Bob. I think my purist attitude has gone too far! What was I thinking? I think I'd take your food picks over mine if stranded or not. Manicotti, oh yeah. You've got your calcium, greens, fruits, protein--fish--and ice cream (any flavor). Wow.

  4. Hot ham sandwich..........hmmmmmmm!!!
    strawberries with whipped creme and brown sugar!!!
    homemade potato pancakes smothered with butter!!!
    Boston creme pie!
    grilled onions and green pepper, cheese omelet.

    I would have to explain on how to make the hot ham!

  5. Wow...Eaamon. Yeah, you got me with the cheese omelet. Not sure if I want to be stranded solo. Too boring. Imagine, if this scenario were true, your food choices would be brought in like room service at a posh hotel. How cool is that?

  8. Yaay! I finally signed in correctly!
    I hope someone who knows how to catch and grill fish is stranded with me!
    extra virgin olive oil, chocolate, Cretan cow's milk yogurt with wild thyme mountain honey and fruit!, yummy delicious sauce for the fish, spinach or other greens.

  9. This is going to be a difficult choice. Going to wait for a few more comments--then make the selection. Also, I am going to cook up the winner's chosen foods for an Island Feast Fit for Moi. And I will provide the recipes/details, too!
