oh yeah, it's great with pasta and a brown gravy type sauce. or rinse it, shred it and use it for rolled tacos....

it's in the same section of the market as other canned meats.

Hard to list the top 6

#18 Postby Persepone » Fri Jan 21, 2005 9:03 pm

flour (+yeast and baking powder and baking soda and salt)
coffee (tea also)
canned soups (and also some dried soup mixes)
oil (olive and canola)
powdered milk and powdered eggs
peanut butter + crackers in tins

but the following are also omnipresent in my pantry
oatmeal (25 lb bags)
rice (10 kg. bags)
beans of various sorts--dried and canned
spices and condiments of various types
raisins, currants, prunes, dried apricots and dates
tuna fish and mayonnaise
canned tomatoes
popcorn and a pan to pop it in (no electricity required)
powdered cocoa and baking chocolate
nori sheets and also the Japanese "rice sprinkles--nori + various flavors: tuna, egg, other fish flavors, to sprinkle into rice for lunch, snack, etc. Don't know what these are called, but they taste great!
Instant potatoes

And yes! I have tahini! Did not expect to see that on someone else's list... Go Alicia!

Actually, the pantry has lots more than that in it... Homemade jams and jellies, some home-canned tomatoes, string beans, pickled watermelon rind, other odd stuff... I buy stuff when it goes on sale and then eat out of the pantry--it saves a pile of money in the long run and I don't have to go to the store as often.

Not the "pantry" but I always have garlic, onions, etc. and actually keep a pot with green onions growing in it--even if I buy them in the store, I plant them as they keep longer in a pot than in the bottom of the refrigerator. Also have done this with fresh ginger... Various other things growing in the windows (e.g., parsley). Dig up just before frost and bring some in for the winter...
