Jim: the mussels are very good, yes, but we thought the crab cakes were the best we'd ever eaten!
Rachel: I'm working on my list; hope it's okay if I supply reasons for the inclusions of items...? |

Hey, since I don't need to bring water, can I bring jasmine flowers to plant? I think I might need something with a perfume if I am going to be stranded alone

miraculously this island has a basic set of kitchen utensils, two pots and a river. There are lots of seafood and some small animals - nothing big that can become too scary. Unfortunately CC you couldn't make your own -island style jamon serrano is it's too humid to cure anything.. . .but you could smoke it (after you've killed a small wild boar).
When you have your list can you consider something else - what would you cook? what would you do?

I know CC, but before you got the idea of making island jamon serrano as an addition to your supplies, I thought I'd better warn you of its impossibility.
Now what will you do with the fish?
