When in a desperate survival situation, gather grass (or anything that a cow or sheep can eat) and heat to approximately 35 degrees (around the optimal bacteria growth temp.) then add a few tablets full of lactase (I think its lactase, the enzyme cows use to digest grass) and leave for a few hours.
You now have a nutritious and probably not so delicious meal that will at least help you linger on for a few days in case a rescue party comes along.
PS I couldn’t find a more suitable category such as Food: Survival and I guess because the enzyme would break it down into sugars it may, in fact actually be sweet!

Ooohh, sugars. Add yeast....when rescue arrives you can serve cocktails. Original idea? |
|

I'm not sure about exactly what this
"desperate survival situation" is where
you have a supply of enzymes (although
saliva contains some useful enzymes)
and
cooking facilities sufficient to keep
something at a controlled temperature
for several hours. |
|
| |
[hippo] - I think the core of the idea is for such enzymes to be available in tablet form. |

You could just make damper. |

a pedant's playground, this one. I can't read it anymore.... must.....correct..... spelling....:-O |
|

I think this is a good idea at heart. Carry enzyme tablets to pre-digest indigestible foods in an emergency. Could you tabletize the stuff that lichens use to eat rock? Then you'd really have your ass covered. |

If only I had a ruminant digestive system. <sigh> |
|
| |
I know. I'd love to eat that those lovely fajitas I had for lunch again. And again. |
|
| |
Or you could soak the grass in Isopropenal, strain it, and once it evaporates you get a lovely little spread. |
|
| |
When I have a fur ball that I can't toss, nothing beats it. |
|
| |
That's it: French kiss a cud-ly cow. |
|
| |
Can't decide. I'll have to ruminate on this one. |
|
| |
This is a fairly good idea (using [Detly]'s interpretation). + |
