Oh, wow, that sounds familiar. Except the meat bit. We have enough livestock and there's enough immune animal life to hunt a bit too, if you want to take the risk, so meat's not a big deal. Flour was though, kind of. And chocolate and sugar and coffee were just...ridiculously expensive, same with fruit that didn't grow naturally. All of that had to be shipped in from greenhouses in Iceland.
