@rajk999 saidIs rice a staple on your Caribbean island? In the few (4-5) I have "visited" it is.
Perfect. Last time I checked it was around 122/85. I live on a primitive Caribbean island with no traffic jams, so my only stress is RHP. 😀
@great-big-stees saidYes it is. Provision is another big staple, ysm, dasheen cassava etc

You people actually buy rice pudding? Why not stop buying all that canned stuff, which is oten unhealthy and wasteful of resources and just make it yourself. Stop watching so much TV and nonsense movies, stop idolizing actors and sports 'heros' and spend some time in the garden planting some food and time in the kitchen cooking.
Oh .. you said simple changes, not big ones.
Before the lockdown I started taking my own sandwiches to work rather than buying them from Waitrose. They're not quite so fancy, but financially it was a good move.
@great-big-stees saidLots of starch options for those who want that. Also lots of fresh veg. One of the advantages of being 'primitive' is that almost everything is organic, and lots of fresh fish straight from the sea. The advanced countries have to advertise 'organic' and certify and it is true
Lots of starch. 😉
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI believe it is always best taking your own lunch at least you have a good idea of what your getting!

@rajk999 saidI eat organic when ever possible! Probably the most healthy food in my opinion.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou buy readymade sandwiches from the grocery ??!!! Home made sandwiches are the best. How about baking your own bread? You can put good stuff in it and it tastes great. All whole wheat, flaxseed, oats, nuts etc. Better than the factory made cheap tasteless stuff.

@very-rusty saidFor sure. Farmers here dont have the need to mass produce and use lots of chemicals and additives. Chicken pigs sheep goats and cows are mostly free of hormone food additives.

I've taken to the high street instead of town centre & supermarkets. Halal butchers x1 chicken (with giblets). Further up, fruit & sweet spud. Cook in oven = 4 meals (3 days worth) cats get the chickens innards and entrails. Only the bones remain.
Ergo no plastic, supporting the local economy more now than ever.

@hells-caretaker saidYou can carve those bones into chess pieces.

@ghost-of-a-duke said👍 Never thought of that! Bit like Shawshank[edit] I mean with lockdown, I might as well be in a King jail anyway.
