Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It

OK, so here's the score. You have to prepare a "gourmet" meal for four bearing the following in mind:

1. You're in a bunker following a nuclear strike. Consider this to be a home-made bunker, not a second-hand ICBM base, so you're going to be limited in terms of the types of food you will have available, the sort of cooking facilities you may have and the amount of water you can afford to use;

2. You should be aiming not just for taste but also to take specific account of the nutritional requirements of the people in the bunker in the situation in which you all find yourselves.

Your task is to provide a menu/recipe for your meal, an explanation for your choices and details of what's in your bunker. There's a decent prize for the winner, who will be the one who produces the most with the least and who, IMHO, offers the best chance of cooking through disaster to survival.

If you need clarification, please leave your questions via the comments facility. Good luck...

UPDATE: The winning entry (actually the only entry) is The Boss's Salt Cod and Ackee meal which cleverly fits all the parameters of the contest. Full details of the meal (and pictures) to follow.

So what is the prize?

There'll be a choice. It'll be worthwhile, though :)

Not necessary, IMHO, but if you want a more realistic experience you could try crowding a few friends into your shed and testing your recipe(s) there...
