    If you're really a hippo, and I've no solid reason to disbelieve you, you should know that you are a herbivore. Have you got access to a garden or anything? Your diet consists mainly of grass and some water plants. You could also try and find some leaves, bark or other similar type vegetation. Hope you get sorted soon.

    I always keep a good supply of eggs around. Omelette in 3 minutes or if you've also got potatoes, onion and a little time make a Spanish omelette for a filling meal.

    Pasta. There's always some sort of pasta in my cupboard. Might be nothing to go on it, but it's still food. Actually, there's always food for my toddler so I have stolen his rusks on occasion.

    What do I eat? The head of the first person who talks to me. Or looks at me.
    The missus often carries emergency rations in her bag for the diva in her life :D.

    Sometimes I'll tear the carpet up and make sandwiches out of the lino.



    As for when there's nothing in the house to eat.....

    I get told continually that there's "nothing to eat" in my house but there is always LOADS of food around if you're hungry. In particular, as long as you have bread and/or eggs in the house there are lots of meals you can make to keep you going. Specifically boiled/fried/scrambled eggs, omelette, sandwiches, (beans on) toast etc. Also, any good housekeeper will have a supply of tinned goods (tuna, beans, spagetti etc.) which last forever and are always available in an emergency. Likewise, the freezer is invaluable when supplies are low - keep a supply of potato waffles, fish fingers, chicken nuggets etc. Also, as long as you have milk in the house you will always have cereals to keep you going - nothing wrong with a bowl of cornflakes at 10pm!
