Suppose that World War II Was fought with food? Which nation would have the upper hand?

America definitely has a production advantage, but Germany has all those pastries. England could frighten enemies off just by threatening to throw their food. :p Japan would be at a disadvantage at first, but after a couple days, whoa what a stink! As for Russia and Italy, um... *shrug*

Any ideas?

IT would be one sided fighting.

Everybody would throw food at the Russians and they would keep it.

Italy would just bomb nations with meatbals and shoot spaghetti....war over Italy wins.

Italy would have a pretty effective weapon in Pasta, but it's range is limited. I'd put my money on the British if they could put together an army of drunken Scotsmen throwing Haggis.

1) Churchill would of eaten all the pies

2) no one would play with the Germans because Hitler keeps throwing Vegetables

3) Brussels would become a wasteland

4) Stalin gets toffee stuck in his moustache-?-Stalin becomes a nice guy and announces he is a cross dresser

5) Japan throws puppies

6) 1930’s teachers would go on an all out spanking spree leading to the world becoming a much sorer place

I can't really speak for other countries, but i imagine the main weaponry would have been something like the following...

USA - Squash, zucchini, ears of corn, pumpkins, potatoes, carrots (great natural spearheads), pineapples, fried chicken

Germany - frankfurters, bratwurst, knockwurst, sauerkraut

Italy - spaghetti sauce, pasta

Great Britain - Beef Wellington, chips (fries), biscuits (cookies)

French Resistance -- butter, croutons

Russia -- potatoes, beets, Stroganoff

Japan - Fish, rice, miso sauce

hehe

Yes, and Auschwitz can be a giant pie-making factory, sticking cold pies into the ovens.

"What's that I smell?"
"The smell of cherry pie!"

the engagements would have stopped in France where everybody would have enjoyed a incredible feast with tons of wine!

The fight would rage on and on for years until one day...Lunatic Goofballs is born. The country that has him wins.

I'm the Ender Wiggin of food fights. :cool:

I reckon the soviets would have got Mr Smirnoff on their side. As such eveyone else would be inebriated post haste amd the Russians would be the last ones standing, quite literally.

*is still struglling to come to terms with the fact that beer isn't considered proper alcohol in the Ukraine and appears on soft drink menus*

edit: if they had to play by the rules and throw food then they'd probably just inject it into watermelons grown in central asia and then throw vodka soaked melon pieces at everyone.

Heh, I was trying to think of a food that would be like an atomic bomb :p

Russia loses

Heh, I was trying to think of a food that would be like an atomic bomb :p

Once my catapult is fixed, I'll show you what 50 lbs of pudding will do. :)

Bean and cheese burrito! :D

Dried ground Habanero pepper as a chemical weapon. :)

Oy the canoli!

this... is... the... dumbest... thread... ever!

Is that a challenge? :)

Instead of an A Bomb, Japan is attacked with a giant hamburger. All the Japense eat the hamburger, have a heart attack and die.

Is that a challenge? :)

uh oh...now look what you've gone and done. LG is going to pull the entire forum into a thread of pure insanity now.

Well then! Why hasn't he been challenged sooner?

More importantly, did Italy really have such a program...? Perhaps this is what spawned the flying spagetti monster...

Ein volk, ein sauerkraut!

Bratwurst uber alles!

*slaps everybody with a Dutch herring* :D

Germany and Japan would be flattened. The Russians would unleash enough Vodka to kill off ten percent of Germany and totally inebriate the rest, and the British would finish them off with haggis.

The Pacific would be the Spice Wars, with the Japanese deploying wasabi by the truckload, and the Americans countering with some really hot salsa. The war would end when the Americans unleashed The Man.

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising would have happened during Passover (Happy Pesach to all Jews reading this) and they would have used some unholy combination of matzah ball soup and horseradish to crush the Germans.

Heh, I was trying to think of a food that would be like an atomic bomb :p

Chili of course. Need extra heat to make it REAL effective. ;)

If the Germans had ever invaded Britain, they'd have been pelted with a weapon more devastating and fearful than mustard gas.

Lava bread.

It's made in Wales. Out of seaweed.

There's a reason you've never heard about it.

There is a cover-up that makes Waco look like a broadway show. That's how bad Britain finds this stuff... imagine what the rest of the world would think.

*Starts catapulting vegimite over walls*

Surrender or else!

I'd really hate to be the person who's on the receiving end of fruitcake....

*cringes*

The poor people were already starving from the Great Depression...But I got to say..the bigger countries get the advantage, especially Russia since it is winter most of the time so nothing will rot nor stink..AND THEY GET FREE FOOD!

If WW II was fought with food, I'd have a memorial build for all the pasta and cheeses that sacrificed themselves for the war. :(

not to mention the food is hard as rock when it bounces off their enemies' faces.

The Germans were trying to develop the world's first processed luncheon meat, but couldn't find enough heavy grease.

The Americans came up with... Spam.
