3. Pulses, Lentils etc
4. Herbs/Spices
5. Onions
6. Sunflower Oil
7. Porridge Oats
8. Tinned tomatoes/Ratatouille
9. Pasta
10. for the freezer - a Whole Chicken that has been jointed
I did have dried/long-life milk in there BUT decided to drink black coffee - so replaced the milk with eggs. I've covered breakfast, lunch and dinner

Tea
Dried milk
Flour
Cooking oil
Sugar
Rice
Eggs
Tinned tomatoes
Tinned Corned beef
Cheese (fridge item)
I’m assuming I’m allowed fresh veg and potatoes as well as these 10
Tea is my all day drinkI'm thinking I could use flour, oil, sugar, eggs, milk, sugar in varying combinations to make some sort of bread, scones, biscuits, pancakes. Rice becomes egg fried, savoury rice or rice pudding. Corned beef and tomatoes would feature in potato and veg based meals, and I just love cheese!
An interesting exercise... don't throw the string away. You always need string!
