You need to prepare for the possibility of you eating your dog.
When the SHTF in (approx) Nov / Dec, that will be an option for very many people.

As an alternative to spag bol, try Nigellas lamb ragu
I substitute standard brown onion for spring.

Pappardelle With Lamb Ragu
‘Ragout’ is French, ‘ragù’ Italian, and this meat sauce is certainly inspired by the Sicilian combination of sweet lamb, dried wild mint and crushed chilli flakes, though I’ve added an Anglo note with a little redcurrant jelly. Pappardelle, those egg-rich, wide ribbons, are my favourite here...

Always a bonus when going out for a meal.
Fray Bentos meat pies used to be good.
Getting the tin open was a job in itself.
I broke 2 tin openers trying to get the lid off, i finally got it off using one of them old type stab tin openers.
The pie inside was rubbish, nothing like they used to be.

Will probably have to eat it raw, cooking with a frying pan over a candle will take ages.
The small amounts and infrequency of use, means I find it best to buy it in packets, frozen. Then I just take as much or as little as I need for a meal. I have begun to buy fresh meat for some meals - local high street butcher is very expensive, whereas the butcher in a local town is much cheaper and does special deals, so I buy there and freeze at home.
Steak and kidney was the one I sought out, I especially like kidney.
The meat content of Fray Bentos pies has been greatly reduced. I bought some during lockdown and they are awful now. There are lots of online reviews saying so. The brand name was sold on and is now owned by Baxters in UK since 2011 who cheapened the product.
I happened to have some of the old empty tins in the shed, useful for degreasing oily parts, looked underneath at the ingredients list and meat content used to be something like double what it is now.
The brand name is owned by some other company in Australia and they still make proper tinned pies to the original recipe.

Yep, I used to keep a few on the shelf, as standbys. Back then they could be had for a pound, in the pound shops. Now I see them priced at £2 and the meat filling is almost none existent - not worth the effort of opening the tins any more. I always assumed Baxters was one of the better brands?
This is the UK not China
3% in the Heinz one.
The snake and pygmy tinned pie now contains
"Beef (11%), Pork Kidney (10%)"
Whereas the Stake and Grave contains
"Beef (15%),"
And that's after they improved a bit from the rubbish sold in lockdown. I think it was 10% meat.
I think the brand name has now lost its reputation.

All this is ****e. Might taste nice and be cheap, but ****e. It's all ultra processed food. Make your own.
