I used to make my own cottage cheese from raw milk: leave unpasturized raw milk for 24 hours on the counter or longer, depending how hot or cold in the tempetature, if you want, put a slice of bread in it (to speed things up), and let the air bacteria and natural enzymes presented in raw milk do the rest. You will have perfect, yougurt like, dairy product, rich and thick. Heat a bit on a water bath and strain, and you have the best tasting cottage cheese and a bunch of whey, which can be used in absense of salt to make fermented vegetables . I am sure you are aware that raw milk protein is the easiest to digest protein, and milk and cottage cheese are used by body builders to build lean muscles.

Hmm....roasted squirrel, venison and turkey, fish (perch, bass, trout, salmon, pike, catfish, bluegill, splake), rabbit. Then in the summer months, we get wild blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, asparagus. In my general area, there are apple, pear and peach trees (although I have no doubt the orchards would be pretty heavily hit) as well as wild black walnut, beechnut, acorn and hickory nut trees (less people are aware of those), so eating in the fall would be pretty good but the eating of fruits and veggies would be quite seasonal. Better dust off my pemmican recipe for those leaner months.
Facts are, people can survive and do well a lot longer on a steady supply of protein and fat than they can on a steady supply of fruits and veggies so I suspect that eventually, you'll be looking for some critters of your own to eat.

Well, then I will try to get the same critters you mentioned: wild turkey, game birds, deers, wild geese and ducks, and I am not mentioning fish and seafood(salmon, tuna, cod, halibut, shrimp, shell fish, etc), that are in abondance in Northern California. But let's hope this never happens. Nuts and seeds come with their own fat and supply enough protein to survive.
Let's just hope that this will never happened in real life. We drifted away from the ...case of rice.
