    To all those who put "stock cubes" on their list, take a look at the ingredients list. The contents are not that different from tuckey twizzlers.

    I threw all mine out at the weekend. They have been their for years and I don't use them any more.

    Are you talking about all brands of stock cubes/powder? I thought the Kallo ones were good and I have Swiss Bouillon veg stock because Delia recommended it!

    I've got the Kallo organic ones too Tiff as they're supposed to be healthier (gave up on oxo's a long while back due to the salt etc) but I do make my own chicken stock when I can and have considered trying a veggie one too from peelings, old veg etc. It's more convenience than anything to keep a few cubes in the cupboard ;)

    Baked Beans & Chopped tomatoes are alwasy in my cupboard ready to chuck into any on the hoof dish I may cobble together. Onions, cheese, and mushrooms are also good standbys.

    You're KIDDING me? I can't imagine making a pot of coffee and not drinking all of it. Are you sure we live on the same planet? :D

    I couldn't fit in everything I have in my storecupboard, the bits I listed earlier are the ones I couldn't live without though.


    Living near to an asian supermarket is just too tempting :(
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
