Sorry OP, I dont mean to be a wet blanket and to preempt the mods, but I believe they want threads to be discussion threads, and not simply lists.
Please stop making posts like this, report the OP and move on (don't just post to increase your post count). This thread can spawn discussions (there has been a few minor ones already), it is also interesting reading, even if there is no discussion. They even have threads that forbid discussion, like the SFW picture thread. Not all threads are here to discuss things.

Thanks for posting that. Hadn't seen that one and was funny. ^^ Though I didn't get the Japanese (?) subtitles.

Shellfish : Zoidberg
Reason : WOOPUBUBUBUB
Herb and Spice: Dr. Melnick and Girls. And Herb.
This made me spit out some coffee, damn you!
Anyway, not sure whether Im meant to pick things which go together for meals or just my favourite things, so I went with favourites. Also I didnt bother thinking about balancing vitamins etc. because if im trapped somewhere where i cant get steak, ill have killed myself before vitamins become a problem.
Fish : Salmon
Reason : Sushi, steaks, can be eaten raw, smoked salmon is the best thing ever. Tuna was a close second.
Vegetable : Mushrooms
Reason : Technically not a vegi but im having them anyway. Just so god damn delicious.
Fruit : Mango
Reason : Tasty and can be used for juice, oranges are also acceptable. Limes would be great for cooking but the juice is too bitter and no sugar 
Shellfish : Prawns
Reason : I love all shellfish so this was a tough one. Prawns win because they are so good just on their own cooked over a fire. Also can be used in loads of dishes. Crab/lobster/scallops/oysters are all awesome too.
Starch: Potato
Reason: Versatility. Also incredibly easy to make delicious. Add butter, wrap in tin foil, throw on fire, done.
Nut: Coconut
Reason: Technically a fruit, but i can live without other nuts but not without fruit juice, so deal w/ it.
Incredible in this situation, tasty on their own, contain water, milk which is great in lots of dishes, produce oil that can be used for cooking, the shells can be used for bowls etc.
Herb and Spice: Torn between Rosemary and Lemongrass. Chillies.
Reason: Love the taste of Rosemary and its great for cooking, especially with potatoes. Lemongrass is amazing in combo with the prawns and coconut milk. Chillies because bland food is just terrible, need to add that heat. Also chillies are really good for you.
Additional things Id need: Knife + Machete - Cooking and opening coconuts. An infinite supply of tin foil - Anything that can be done with a pan and more can be done with tin foil and know how.

Nice thread. I guess one could read up on which would be wisest to pick, but it's more fun going off the top of my head.
Fish : Blue Marlin.
Reason : Craved it ever since I first got it in Thailand. I imagine it is as healthy as most other fish.
Vegetable : If I can chose the cabbage family, I go with that. If not, lettuce.
Reason : The cabbage family is huge and has a lot of variaty. Love broccoli which belongs to this as well. If not lettuce gives variety.
Fruit : Olives (banana if olives belong to the category vegetable)
Reason : Very rich, and that would be needed on this diet. (banana also rich and is well rounded in terms of vitamins)
Shellfish : Lobster
Reason : Need some luxury if I'm going to stay for a long time
Starch: Potatoes
Reason: I can make everything from potatoes. If prepared right they are delicious and can even work raw
Nut: Any really. Pengan I guess
Reason: Don't know too much about nuts, but I guess you can make oil from all of them.
Herb and Spice: Spice: Chili, Herb: cannabis (if allowed) otherwise, basil (anyone, but preferable sweet basil)
Reason: love spicy food and often cook thai - sweet basil and chili are both cornerstones of thai cuisine. The cannabis for obvious reasons - you need something to pass the time being alone on an island

Fish : Salmon
Reason : Best tasting fish in the world, can eat with almost anything
Vegetable : Lettuce
Reason : Goes well with anything
Fruit : Oranges
Reason : Orange juice - Lots of vitamins. Is good in salads
Shellfish : Shrimp
Reason : Nutricious and delicious
Starch: Potato
Reason: You can use potatoes for so much, also goes well with salmon. Can be destilled into vodka.
Nut: Macadamien nuts
Reason: They are very tasty, also high contents of proteins and oil that can be used for salats etc.
Herb and Spice: Oregano
Reason: Oregano has always been my go-to herb in cooking, tastes great and goes well with alot!
I would like to have some kind of milk products with me as well..

How ironic. You bother point it out without actually contributing to the thread in any way. He is more right in saying how he sees the trend in TL is than you saying he is wrong without even reacting to the OP and adding to the thread.
Anyways,
Fish : Pink Salmon or Blue fin
Reason : Salmon is the best fish there is, and pink salmon the best variety. Pink Salmon or Blue Fin are great off the grill and excellent with vodka
Vegetable : Cabbage
Reason : I love the nice crunchy sound they make especially cooked as stew
Fruit : Apple
Reason : Make Ciders
Shellfish : San Francisco Lobster
Reason : If im going to die alon in an island, Im gonna die with style

I was going to say the same thing, I guess Russians are good at point out hypocrisy because it is one of our strongest characteristics as a people.
Oh shit...

I don't even know. I would just choose things that wouldn't work well together, I still don't know how to cook 
|
Fish : Salmon
Reason : Good for your health with lots of omega 3. Can be eaten raw or grilled over fire.
Vegetable : Cabbage
Reason : No particular reason. They are all the same to me so I picked something simple.
Fruit : Grape
Reason : A lot of fruits can be turned into juice, grape included. However you can also brew wine with it. I am going to need a lot of alcohol if I get stuck on the island permanently.
Shellfish : Lobster
Reason : hmmm..... shrimp and crab takes too much effort to eat, and scallops are too "small".
Starch: Rice
Reason: I am asian. Can make into sushi or even brewed into saki.
Nut: Soy bean
Reason: Can be made into tofu, soy drink, soy sauce.
Herb and Spice: ginger and wasabi?
Reason: ummm.... I have salt and pepper, and I can make soy sauce. I guess wasabi is good for sushi, and ginger can be added to like everything. I can even make ginger tea when I get sick.
Side note: milk is especially useful, but is not an option. You can drink it, make cheese, yogurt, icecream, etc.

The limitation of no meat and dairy is what I really think is fun about this question. People start to think to I choose what I like or do I choose things that go well or are healthy. I still really like the choices I`m seeing and have lol`ed at some good joke posts.

I'd starve to death. Most of my meals involve dairy in some form or another.
Actually, I could live off just french fries. Let's do this.
Fish : None.
Reason : I pretty much don't eat seafood, so I don't care.
Vegetable : Tomato
Reason : I have no fucking idea how to make ketchup, but if I'm living my entire life here, I'm going to try it and it's gonna require tomatoes.
Fruit : Orange
Reason : Irrelevant to the french fry industry, but still delicious anyway.
Shellfish : None
Reason : Seafood.
Starch: Potato
Reason: French fries, damnit!
Nut: Peanut
Reason: Oil, of course. Possibly peanut butter, too.
Herb and Spice: Salt
Reason: Yeah, the island already has salt, but my island's having more salt.
Alternatively, something to flavor my ketchup. But I have no idea what would work good.
Yeah, I'd probably starve.
Dunno why, but this made me laugh like crazy haha. Thanks for the chuckles sir.

Fish : Salmon
Reason : I know how to cook Salmon pretty well in a variety of ways, and the texture is something that I really like. It's by far my favorite meat and fish (that I can afford), and it feels hearty enough to eat to fill you up, but not so hearty that you feel slothish if you eat a bunch (like steak makes you feel)
Vegetable : Spinach
Reason : Good to cook with, can be made with a lot of stuff
Fruit : Tomato (scientifically it is a fruit)
Reason : Tomatoes are really versatile, and you can do so much with them. Aside from ketchup and tomato sauce, you can eat them like an apple, slice them for interesting dishes, and they're all around pretty good.
+ Show Spoiler +If I can't use a Tomato as my fruit, then I would pick Oranges.
Shellfish : Crayfish
Reason : A world filled with abundant Crayfish is a world I want to live in. Boil em up!
Starch: Rice
Reason: No matter how much I eat it, I don't ever get really sick of rice. It's nice, plain, and basic, and can be eaten with pretty much everything and taste good.
Nut: Pecan
Reason: PECANS ARE THE BEST NUTS IN THE WORLD WHY DO I EVEN NEED TO PROVIDE A REASON?
Herb and Spice: Pepper
Reason: Salt from water + Pepper = Good Island
|
I dont really get this thread
Fish : Tuna
Reason : versatile
Vegetable : Corn
Reason : again versatile
Fruit : blueberries
Reason : I like them a lot
Shellfish : shrimp
Reason : versatile
Starch: Potato
Reason: potatoes are good =) and versatile
Nut: peanut
Reason: good taste simple
Herb and Spice: garlic
Reason: Given that we get salt and pepper else salt

Good luck catching those tunas. Tuna fish are freaking monsters. I think I would chose Tuna anyways because it is the best though.
Edit: Here is my list
Fish : Tuna
Reason : Huge badass tasty fish.
Vegetable : Spinach
Reason : It's good with lots of things, tasty, has some iron in it and easy to harvest.
Fruit : Blueberries
Reason : Easy to pick and delicious fresh
Shellfish : Prawns of some kind
Reason : They are dead easy to catch, just leave a dish like net at the bottom of some shallow water with some bait in it and raise it slowly.
Starch: Potatoes
Reason: Rice was a close second but I don't want to be hulling rice every day, gotta relaxe yo.
Nut: Peanuts
Reason: I don't know many nuts
Herb and Spice: A green one
Reason: Seriously when I put my spices into the little jar thingies from the bags I forgot to label them in advance so I don't know what spices are what at all.
|
Fish : Salmon
Reason : I like shashimi, i also enjoy various other methods of cooking this type of fish; baking frying etc etc
Vegetable : Carrots
Reason : Vitamin A and C are essential to surviving; plus I can snack on them raw or cook them to my desired taste.
Fruit : Tough call here; however id probably go with Oranges
Reason : I enjoy oranges a lot, and i need citrus.
Shellfish : Lobster
Reason : Cause they are delicious obviously
Starch: Rice
Reason: Im asian; and if i dont have rice i get angry.
Nut: Peanuts
Reason: Snacking food and high in protein, maybe i can make peanut butter out of them too
