I am working on fleshing out a end of the world game. I am working on what would be the some of the things people would eat.

I know the usual - Dog, Cat, Other humans, mutants, wild game and so on, but is there anything really wacky you can think of for food?

Cardboard treated in caustic soda
nettles
dandelion

Ect

any other ideas?

Depends on the nature of the apocalypse, really. If there's vegetation left, it's likely you could find edibles there. Any wild animals are fair game. There's also salvage, canned goods and such.

Try dandelion wine. It actually exists, too

Using modern knowledge it's possible people would breed insects for a more efficient source of protein than cattle. Perhaps not even the insects themselves - just off mexican cuisine I can think of maguey worms (HUGE caterpillars), escamoles (ant larvae), chapulines (seasoned grasshoppers), chicatanas (they have some sort of sludge in their torax which is used for a kind of sauce)

I've heard there have been attempts at cricket flour

people can eat dandelions raw, and nettles but they need to be cooked.

plastic/wax fruit (it looks like the real thing!), carpet (ya gotta boil it, so tha glue gets soft), mud pies (i heard the pie half! now with stuff other than dirt!), nails, rocks, pennies, buttons, small rocks. you know, pretty much anything small enough to swallow to stop the empty feeling in your gut.

In a post-nuclear winter scenario, overall sunlight is going to kill crop availability. This is going to have a massive effect on ALL life.

That being said, there ARE crops that are shade tolerant which should be farmable.

Most plants grown for their greens will be fine, especially most asian greens and lettuce. Root vegetables will also tolerate these conditions, but will take longer to farm in general. Scallions can survive, too.

Basically, things that are just bundles of leaves or roots are pretty resistant to shade conditions. But you can expect the growing season to be short, and yields to be very small.

Grass pea, actual grass, bark bread, carnivorous-animal-sausage, cockroach (apparently they can be tasty if you keep them on a vegetable diet), literal stone soup

We pretty much eat everything on the planet already. Even stuff we shouldnt eat like fugu fish we still eat. The question isnt what crazy stuff should we eat, the question is what is left because whatever is left we will still eat it.
>>

Fugu isn't THAT dangerous. The reason it requires so much training to serve is that it's supposed to have a teensy tiny bit of poison so that it gives a light buzz instead of killing you. The fish itself is supposedly tasty, but the poison is part of the appeal

Lucifer hammer had the fun idea of goldfish carp being a common fish...
