Yep.
But before I start,
Mickidon do you know you can store miso in the freezer? Stays soft, it’s just like taking it out of the fridge. Lasts almost indefinitely this way. I keep at least three kinds, but it’s always been a pantry staple for us.
Since lockdown -
Butter - occasionally I found premium French kinds on sale and I’d stick these in the freezer too.
Cabbages - so many cabbages. Opened a fermenting thread mostly because of cabbage. Sauerkraut rocks! It’s like indoor gardening.
Frozen lotus roots (AKA renkon), conveniently pre-sliced. A great lo-carb alternative to potatoes and carrots for casseroles/stews.
Frozen whole leaf spinach. Usually had it before, now I feel anxiety if there isn’t any in the freezer. Brexit heightens the simmering fear of a vegetable shortage.
Olive oil - again, am nervous about Brexit cutting us off from a regular supply.
I bought 80kg (4 x 20kg sacks) of EU grown Japanese rice at the end of last year. Did I mention Brexit and the related anxiety?
Coffee (not the instant kind). I finally learned to make decent coffee last year, first with a V60 then an Aeropress.
My husband hyperventilates when there aren’t any onions or garlic in the house, but that’s always been the case.
