I grew up in a household that was never without a jar of Branston Pickle and for all of my 49 years of marriage we have also always had a jar of this delicious pickle in the kitchen. (Although my husband can't stand it!) What food items have you always got in your cupboard or fridge?
Marmalade not for me, my husband, I prefer Marmite and peanut butter for the gc. Eggs Bananas Coffee pods Milk Cheeses of some sort, but always cheddar Tea Bags Jacksons brown bread Mango chutney Basmati rice Pasta Heinz beans Scots Porridge Oats
and demerara sugar, ordinary plain and self raising flour and gluten free plain and self raising, sunflower oil, olive oil and chilli oil, black peppercorns
I can’t live without: Marmite and Babybel for breakfast with toast and fresh tomatoes. Worcestershire sauce, must be Lea & Perrins Geetas Mango Chutney Tinned tomatoes, tinned sardines Beetroot Dill pickled cucumber slices
Apart from the everyday staples such as tea, sugar, milk, bread, and butter etc my other 'essentials' would be: Biscuits - Malted Milk and Bourbons Chunky cut Marmalade Free range Eggs Gravy granules (all flavours) Lee & Perrins Worcester Sauce Marzipan (I eat it like sweets!) Chocolate
After nearly 60 years I think I got married young just so I could eat spoons full of condensed milk .... When I first got married I actually bought a tin of condensed milk and ate it ... All myself ... but somehow it wasn't that delicious as when I'd sneaked a spoon from mums pantry ...
I always have a full tin of condensed milk in my cupboards until way past its sell by dates .... Then I get another !!!
okimherenow, have you tried the little tubes of condensed milk? That is if you can still get them. I bought one once, and sucked it down straight away. ? My must have is Golden Syrup.
