This video contains some more foraging and Day 2 of the menu.
Day 1 video is here: • 2 Pounds, 2 Days, (6 Meals) *Day 1* -...
It's important to note: this is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor' (although it did make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted), NEITHER is it an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' (in fact if anything, it proves the opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge').
Primarily, this is an exercise that I set myself specifically to try to provoke a creative response; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability.
The reference video for my attempt at making Seitan is this one: • Washed Flour Seitan Recipe from Start...

(£2 is about 2.81 USD at the time of upload)
