First choice is obviously meat of some kind, but in a shortage situation, it might not be readily available.
Quoting: In Yer Neck This is a good time to stock up on hams with bone in, bacon ends and pieces, smoked ham hocks, all the things we could put in beans to make them palatable and more nutritious. Prices will be sky high by fall and a year from now probably not be able to find much of anything we want to buy, unless for a king's ransom. You also need to learn how to smoke/salt meat to preserve it without refrigeration/electricity. I have about 1/4 of a hog left in a small smoke house made of plywood (4' x 4') that I've been eating on for 3 months now. The flavor just keeps getting better and no, it isn't rotting, It mellows. About once a week I'll cut off a week's worth, rub where it was cut with a mix of salt and sugar, then cold smoke for two days again to reseal the cut. Flys and bugs won't even get on the meat and it stays preserved. You can look up how to build a small smoke house and try it with a small ham in case you're worried about it going bad or you doing it wrong the first time. You can also look up country cured Virginia hams, they get best tasting after 6 months of hanging up.
