    Pasta - spaghetti/lasagne sheets/etc
    Rice - long grain/brown
    Herbs
    Flour (and other stuff to make bread/pizza dough...)
    Tinned Tomatoes
    Oats

    ooooooooo what a thought-provoking challenge - only 10 items in total!

    1. Coffee
    2. Eggs
    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 :D. I've covered breakfast, lunch and dinner :D.

    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 drink :D I'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! :D
