If this were solely a question of whose diet I would like to emulate it would be GS and Inger. GS has access to a wide variety of fruits, such as bananas etc. Here in Europe, there seems to be just one variety, whereas in the Phillipines, there are pink etc. etc. bananas. Inger has access to raw seafood which I do not any more.
When I was in London, I did indeed have access to extremely large(and, astonishingly, very cheap) double-oysters and raw wild hare carcasses and would drink pints of raw blood from such carcasses. However, these days, I live in Austria. Austria, unfortunately, is a landlocked country so that all seafood is imported from a thousand miles away or more, and is prefrozen etc., and hideously expensive - I generally only eat raw wildcaught seafood when I am abroad on holiday. Raw wild game in Austria is much more easily available than in the UK and in much greater variety, but, sadly as a result, they, unlike the British, are fully aware of the superior quality of wild game, so they charge more for it than in the UK farmers' markets. Raw organ-meats from wild game are more difficult to get hold of, with raw wild marrow being virtually unavailable.
One positive thing is that most standard domesticated meat comes from small-time Austrian peasants. This means that industrialised intensive-farming practices are virtually nil, although grainfeeding is likely practised more than it should be. At any rate, the taste of standard supermarket meats in Austria is better than what is found in the UK.
I am able to get hold of raw honeycomb of the finest quality, sourced from within ancient woodland.I am considering buying a whole deer or wild boar carcass from local hunters but have no idea if I can store such in my fridge and freezer unless the hunter is willing to cut up the meat beforehand into smaller chunks.
Tapwater in Vienna is wonderful. Unlike London tapwater which made me feel ill, and which has gone through an average of 8 human bladders before reaching you, Viennese tapwater comes from Alpine streams and tastes great. So I do not need to buy 5 liter alkaline mineral water bottles like I used to have to in the UK.
