Which staple would you be lost without

I'm sure I could be without any ONE of the "staples" in my cupboard to be honest - no olive oil, use butter or peanut/sunflower/rape/walnut/sesame oil as appropriate.
No tea, drink herbal teas/coffee/hot chocolate or whatever.
No tinned tomatoes - go back to fresh.
No bread - I'd have flour
No flour, buy bread or make oatcakes?

I think the problem would be to lose a lot of my "staples" all at once.

My OH wants me to add aubergines, he has a long love affair with this vegetable and I must have cooked it every which way in my time.

Cheese,
Onions,
Pasta,

Water.
Bread
Eggs.
Flour
Olive oil.
Potatoes.
Milk.

Eggs
Cheese
Mince
Tinned tomatoes

Milk is what I watch most closely and must never run out of. Then bread then butter for DH sandwiches for work.
For me, coffee. Always looking for a better flavour....

*Oooh a good extra virgin olive oil. Prices have gone up a lot this past year or so but I really have to have this to hand. I can literally drink it off the spoon and love to dip bread in it*

I wasn't thinking of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, just the ordinary type for cooking. But both, given the option.

I agree, it has gone up enormously, but it is non-negotiable in my life.

1st cold pressing organic olive oil.
🤣

Bread

I love the way posters have sneaked in other staples. So I will add pasta and lentils - we are vegetarian so lentils and beans are essential, oh yes and all kinds of beans 🫣

We have to have a food and a liquid! 🙂

Coffee, good coffee. I buy from a company called "Rise" so you get different ones each time a box arrives.

M&S coffee granules to be precise

Lidl’s range of Colombian and Ecuadorian coffee granules are good if you like a nice robust coffee.👍

I'm with MissAdventure, mine would also be bread. Cheese would be a close second but woman cannot live by cheese alone.

tea and cheese

Coffee, I think, no, tea. Or coffee. Oh dear.

Cheese, eggs, milk.

Good quality tinned tomatoes

Potatoes

Chocolate

Gin

Not necessarily in that order.

Coffee definitely! I'm drinking it right now as I type.

Tea bags

Coffee and bread I think. Nice bread, not that white sliced stuff.

Eggs. I grew up on eggs as we had so many chickens.
And tea bags. I do love a cup.of tea.
