The only things I wouldn't eat to survive would be Lisa, my mom, dad, brother or sister.
Everything else is fair game
and probably delicious anyway.
If the chips were down, would you be a picky eater?

Funny you should ask. No I haven't had to eat people but was recently thinking of the movie Alive. If I was in that situation tho, I would rather eat my family before eating a stranger. At least somewhere in the heavens they could know that they helped me stay alive and they didn't die in vain. As for what I wouldn't eat, probably McDonalds..just kidding. I wouldn't eat...no forget it.. this is just gonna get gross.

I like Les Strous: dog poop on meat, still fair game.
For me, I'd rather starve than eat an MRE.

Pasta.........just because you can eat it doesn't mean its food.
What other food could you take in its raw form and through a handfull on your counter....

It is always a good idea to let the Pax know that you have survival rations in the survival kit .So if you have an off airport landing they do not eat YOU

As this is currently hypothetical, then: Uni, and natto both of which i loathe - one for the smell, and the other, for what it is.
I will concede that if the chips were down, I'd be a little less picky...

Actually, we have a lot of female pilots here. And no, I haven't had one yet that I felt I could safely make that joke with.
