How many types of food can you cook underground?

Answer 1

Let's see, this should be interesting.

Ok I'm going to split this up a little,

If you were put into a pit underground with a bunch of salmon stakes, or veggies, or pasta, you probably couldn't cook anything, so I'm going to assume that you have the following supplies:

1. A sharp knife, and possibly a sharpener
2. A cutting board, for sanitary reasons (you don't want to be chopping stuff on bare ground (by the way, i assume that you are imagining like an underground pit or room or something of that sort, not an underground kitchen)
3. Something that you can heat with, if an electric range then you must have a power supply, if you are going to have fire then you must have proper ventilation.
4. If you are to have a flame, then you must have fuel of some sort, whether it be gas, or wood, or newspaper or whatever
5. If you are planning to make vegetables then you must have a veggie peeler or a smaller knife, and a place to put the peels
6. After this, you need a large pot, maybe 2 pans, and something you can bake/broil/grill on
7. Water
8. some bandages, just in case you cut yourself with your sharp knife :)

After this, all you need is ingredients.

Some of the things that classify as ingredients are:

1. vegetables
2. broth
3. water (for boiling, the water in the supplies list was for washing your hands)
4. margarine or butter
5. spaghetti
6. meat products
7. tofu
8. oil

Depending on how big your pit is, you might be able to hold more or less ingredients. If you are planning to live in your pit for extended periods of time, i would recommend having a very large pit, and possibly adding a refrigerator to your supplies list. An alternate option is to build a hole in the roof of your underground residency, and have a fellow human pass you fresh food each day. If you are wondering about ingredients, what classifies, or would like to add to the supplies list, I will be watching this question and you may ask your question in the discussion area.

After you have assembled your supplies and ingredients, situated yourself in your pit, and notified others where you will be, you may cook practically anything in your underground gourmet kitchen. I realize i have most likely left many things out of my list of supplies, so again if you feel the need to ask a question or notify me of something I have left out, please contact me on my message board or in the discussion area of this question.

The only request i have, is to please not delete this whole answer, as i have put much thought, and years of practice cooking underground, towards writing said answer.
