You realize you could make just a few meals out of your choices? Besides I'm getting hungry:D

# of combinations you can get out of 5 ingredients.

5 = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120

In other words you would have to have the same meal at least every 3.0416666 days on average.

With those ingredients every meal would be pure bliss.

No doubt about it, Throw in a baked tater, sliced tomatoes, sauteed onion and a sliced fresh jalapeno and you just might see Jesus if you looked cross eyed at an candle.

Next time you cook a steak roast a sweet potato and spread fresh asparagus on tinfoil. Salt pepper and drizzle with olive oil then put it on the grill until it starts steaming and just turning brown.

Wow !

Would you like me to correct this? That's the number of different ways you can time-order all five ingredients. The number of ways you can combine a selection of them into a single dish (1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 31) is quite different.

Thanks Spot, I was a little worried about his calculations.

If we are talking about just surviving, I would eat what's available and edible from the land and try to have some nutricious (sic) variety.

No he didn't hun. He said "one or more veggies' .......'any combination of fruits'

both of these statements implies more than one or two or three etc.

Five years on a desert island, is it now?

OK -

A big hunky male islander sort of mid twenties who has lots of local knowledge and survival skills and knows how to treat a lady (he'll know how to get fish, game, vegies, fruits and make a fire sorta thang)

A good red wine

Coffee

LOL Idgie, he messed up when he didn't mention grains and cereals, lentils, nuts etc. We gotta love him for thinking about our health even though he didn't plan this out properly.

LOL, Bryn, he didn't say we could have any grains, cereals, lentils, nuts, etc. He completely overlooked the complex carbohydrates needed by our bodies. So you can't have rice.
