In your larder you should have.......In your larder you should have........pick two items only, to add to the list then we can hopefully come up with something definitive after a few weeks. So, to start. Cornflour & Nutmeg |
||||||||
| judith |
Olive oil & salt | ||||||||
| Bernie66 |
pulses and salt | ||||||||
| sean |
Pepper and salt | ||||||||
| judith |
We've probably got enough salt now! | ||||||||
| Northern_Lad |
We're all going to die of salt poisening at this rate!
Strong, dark chocolate. Flour. |
||||||||
| sean |
Home made jam. Since everyone else is saying salt.
Or sugar if we're sticking with ingredients. Are we allowed things you keep in the fridge? |
||||||||
| Bugs |
honey and ginger | ||||||||
| Behemoth |
Tin of anchovies
Tomato puree of passata |
||||||||
| Will |
Arborio rice
Dried porcini |
||||||||
| Nanny |
chocolate
do you need anything else? 
oh alright then flour |
||||||||
| mark |
flour & lots of bottles of wine!
(well that's mine anyway ) oh the "lots of bottles of wine" also applies to the dining room and the garage!!!!!! mark |
||||||||
| bernie-woman |
Chocolate never makes it to the larder in my house  - my two would be golden syrup and dried yeast
|
||||||||
| Mrs Fiddlesticks |
wholegrain mustard ( homemade of course)
balsamic vinegar ( I like this one called Gillys Dressing http://www.localtastes.co.uk/grocery-dressings-c-308_312.html ) |
||||||||
| twoscoops |
Redcurrant jelly and parmesan. | ||||||||
| Jb |
flour and yeast | ||||||||
| Aled |
chip butty and gravy 
well I was going to say olive oil and salt, but that's alreday gone! |
||||||||
| bagpuss |
paprika and whole cumin | ||||||||
| RoryD |
anchovies and shelves | ||||||||
| Will |
Recipe suggestions for shelves? | ||||||||
| Northern_Lad |
I thought you'd have said salt + pepper. |
||||||||
| whitelegg1 |
peanut butter & chocolate spread
|
||||||||
| Nanny |
i'd second that |
||||||||
| Jonnyboy |
I said larder, not bedroom |
||||||||
| bernie-woman |
You'd have to make sure you bought smooth not crunchy 
|
||||||||
| RoryD |
Too obvious. I'm trying to generate an air of mystery and jeu ne sais quoi (sp) 
|
||||||||
| RoryD |
Too many to mention. Most forms of Shelvish. Oysters with Chilli and Lime, Moules Mariniere, Clam Chowder etc |
||||||||
| Nanny |
depends on where you want to put it surely... 
|
||||||||
| Treacodactyl |
Soy sauce & dried seaweed. | ||||||||
| ele |
sultanas and cinnamon | ||||||||
| Cathryn |
Brown rice and pasta (one fills them quickly, the other cooks quickly) | ||||||||
| jema |
White wine vinigar
nutmeg |
||||||||
| 2steps |
flour and caster sugar | ||||||||
| nettie |
Raspberry vinegar and assorted dried wild mushrooms | ||||||||
| Caplan |
Surely the follow on is to get everyone to put forward a recipe with just their two larder faves and maybe one other ingredient? Stick to the rule and see if anything interesting happens? We've seen some interesting combinations so far! (I'll ignore the peanut butter & chocolate spread combi - i don't think anything from that should be be quoted as an ingredient!  )
|
||||||||
| nettie |
I dunno how I could do that with mine, Caplan, but peanut butter + chocolate spread + bread = Star Bar Sandwich! | ||||||||
| ele |
must admit I don't really know what raspberry vinegar is, let alone what to use it in 
|
||||||||
| bagpuss |
paprika and cumin, rubbed onto lamb steaks! lovely | ||||||||
| hermil |
garlic and brown sugar | ||||||||
| nettie |
Lovely on salads instead of balsamic, and anywhere where you would use wine vinegar but would like a taste of fruit - just soak some raspberries in white wine vinegar for about 3 weeks, strain, warm it up and dissolve a little sugar in
|
||||||||
| trigfa |
currants and strong flour (for making leaven) | ||||||||
| wellington womble |
butter and garlic | ||||||||
| Pilsbury |
Mustard powder and ketchup.
A lot of people underestimate the value of a good dollop of ketchup in a chilli, bolognaise, stew, bbq sauce or even a bacon sarnie.
|
||||||||
| Viking_Chick |
I would have tinned tomatoes (HATE fresh) and cheese. | ||||||||
| sally_in_wales |
rice and oil | ||||||||
| marigold |
tinned sardines and cocoa powder | ||||||||
| Nanny |
you never heard of Reece's peanut butter cups
it's an american classic ! wonderful stuff |
||||||||
| hils |
tinned tomato (kwik save own cheap ones,no nasty nobbly end bits in these compared to sainsburys etc)
jars of green pesto. (basil never is around long enough for me to make my own) Would have said salt instead of pesto... |
||||||||
| sally_in_wales |
In ones larder you should have a bottle of devastatingly good wine and access to a man that can cook. When I'm sober I'll tell you about the living room floor picnic he took me on when my book came out (no, we didnt eat the living room floor, [nor that neither for those with naughty minds], but it was the most slap up food fest Ive ever eaten off a cloth on the carpet) | ||||||||
| Mad Dad |
Pickled beetroot and jams that you have grown and made yourself... | ||||||||
| wellington womble |
I thought that was just me!
I used to regularly serve carpet picnics as romanitc meals when I was a student, and we wanted to eat alone (I had no table in my room) It was before I discovered what good quality ingridients could do for your cooking, though, so I would probably think they were horrid now! |
||||||||
| Erikht |
Vodka and parma ham. | ||||||||
| Jb |
Phone number for off license
Phone number for pizza parlour
|
||||||||
| Bugs |
Burn the heretic
An aside - I can't help feeling that people's chosen ingredients are somewhat revealing...a natural follow-on might be a "who would you most like to go to dinner with based on their two choices" - I think I'd have to pick Sally on those grounds! Carpet picnics involving good wine should not be underrated
