I suggest a week on seafood...if it can be found in the ocean, it can be eaten: basically fish, molluscs, kelp, caviars (meaning generically fish eggs in this context, so tobiko would be fine too), etc. But...no spices, or oils that aren''t from the sea. The only seasoning from terrestrial sources you can use is salt...because theres tons of it in the ocean anyway...and boiling seawater would net the same result. Also, no smoked seafood for obvious reasons. I have personally done this once just for fun after finding out a local shop had a bunch of dried kelp on clearance.

Said this is the Day 1 Vid, but in Australia we have Weet-Bix, they look identical to those and name is def a play on the name, looks like ASDA went to Australia (or NZ or South Africa) and saw/tried them and decided to rip the orf and changed he name. Edit: Okay I looked up Weetabix and they are the UK equivalent of Weet-Bix and so ASDA has ripped orf the Weet-Bix, which are Rectangular (literally same as what you had in vid) where as the Weetabix are ovular, so the rip-orf is closer in resemblance to original than the UK Variant of the official product.
