Across the whole basket of food, a no-deal Brexit might leave us with a HUGE drop in prices. It all depends on the food subsidy and agricultural subsidy regime we choose. Japan is perfectly free to buy food at world market prices but prefers to keep it expensive and grown locally.
But adjusting things takes time and this will take about five years. In the interim there will be large-scale disruption to supply. I for one cannot wait five years to eat.
I think the hoarding / prepping is a concept dreamt up by makers of UHT milk, whose dwindling / dying market is being reinvigorated by loons panicking about milk from somerset reaching london.
I wonder how much of this hoarded UHT will go straight down the drain?

But stockpiling will only really help you for a few weeks. After that you'll pretty much be as fooked as everyone else.

This is a bit like the thing about the two cameramen and the lion. Don't have to survive until the supply problems are sorted. Just have to survive until enough people die off that the reduced supply becomes sufficient again.
I don't have to outrun the lion. I just have to outrun you.
The Remoaner Survivalists think they're SAS types. They'll look like proper plums when everything's normal on 31st March and they've still got 550 tins of fruit salad cluttering up their kitchen cupboard.
I struggle to see why having 550 tins of fruit is in any way a bad result. Unless you still live with 3dux tbf. But even then u still have peach slices.
I once accidentally bought 40 pub standard pint glasses. the tall ones with the suggestive bulge. still have a fair few 17 years on. Man and boy my friend.

According to BBC News tonight ,70% of veg comes from the EU, and 80% of lettuce comes from spain. Don't u need cold frost, and moderate sun to grow lettuce, both of which the UK has in abundance. Whereas spain even in winter is "mild" and in Summer is roasting. If that is correct how can the UK mostly import lettuce from a " hot " country.Shouldn't it mostly be grown in the UK?

It’s not a nuclear apocalypse. But it may be the occasion of food shortages in British supermarkets and huge price rises for meat and dairy.
So fanks and all that but I will hoard if I want to.

But as with everything else in life, it will be say one thing publicly while quietly protecting one’s own position.

In fairness... I reckon I'm good for 9 months easy.
I'll just use it anyway. Who cares if extra pasta is in my kitchen and not the supermarket.
