any "survivor" or "end of the world" types can find where to buy this?

Plumpy'nut, more commonly known as Plumpy, is a peanut-based food for use in famine relief which was formulated by André Briend, a French scientist in 1999.

It is a high protein and high energy peanut-based paste in a foil wrapper that can be distributed to children at home rather than in specialist feeding stations and can be eaten without any preparation. It tastes like a slightly sweeter kind of peanut butter. It is categorized by the WHO as a Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).

The ingredients are: peanut paste, vegetable oil, milk powder, vitamins and minerals, combined in a foil pouch. Each pack provides 500 kilocalories (2.1 MJ).

this seems a good "doomsday" type food to store in my basement (next to the guns/ammo), in case the world goes to hell soon
i would like to buy some, but it seems to only be available in Africa

Awesome. I can envision Doomsday with you secured away in your bunker full of Plumpy, guns 'n' ammo with the muffled sounds of denied-entry neighbours being devoured by zombies. Meanwhile you are giggling like a school-girl as your dog tries to eat this peanut-butter concoction sticking to the roof of his mouth.

"Each pack provides 500 kilocalories"

so, you could live off of 1 PB+J for a week, or burn it all winter

nobody knows?

what kind of stuff is good to horde? to keep in my basement, for the end of the world

You should get some military surplus MRE's instead. A peanut butter only menu is going to get boring quickly!

You'd need to eat 4-5 pack a day for a standard diet.

Snacky cakes and soda. If it's the end of the world, you may as well get a sugar high.

1 kilocalorie is 1 Calorie.

Since we americans eat 2500 Calories a day or 25000 kilocalories we'd need to eat 5. + liquids.
