As many of you will testify, living alone frequently means buying food you know you will probably throw away. The world of food shopping is not geared up for single people.
I now have to rely on supermarket deliveries which is even worse as there is very little in "single person size".
The two things I struggle to store successfully are parmesan and garlic. I've tried double wrapping in foil and film, foil only, wrapping and putting in zip lock bags. I've kept in the door of the fridge, in the main fridge and for the garlic in the salad crisper.
The garlic isn't the end of the world as it hardly breaks the bank to buy a new bulb, and I accept no shop is going to sell half a garlic bulb! Even though I do hate the waste. But Italian hard cheeses are expensive and I have to shave or cut off mouldy bits every time I use them. Or sometimes they are just past redemption.
I keep hovering over the jars of garlic cloves but I'm not convinced.
Any foolproof tips?
