What accumulates in your kitchen cupboards?

[Booldawg]

For some strange reason I seem to have about 3 packets of dessicated coconut, all open and containing various amounts. Also have a few packets of lasagne strips of varying quantities.

Egg noodles - I have about 4 opened packets on the go just now

[craft1948]

Jars of beetroot...........

[Booldawg]

haha Karen - yes, egg noodles are another one!

[ChuckFickens]

Pasta, I think I have about 4 or 5 bags in the cupboard.

Those little tubes of chocolate that you sprinkle on instant cappuccinos - just counted them - 15 of them.

[craft1948]

lardy I used to have loads of them.......then I switched to the instant Irish coffees....

[cazzz1975]

breakfast cereal, I could open a b&b I have so much..

[mccfluff]

mustards, pickles, sauces. marinades., dressings i have far to many

[B00]

Again with the pasta, I have 4 half bags in my cupboard.

[lardhelmet]

Sounds like a good idea craft!

[bobjugs12]

I don't have a kitchen, but in my food cupboard there are dozens of Pot Noodles

[ChuckFickens]

I've just been down and looked, I have 7 bags of pasta and 2 of rice!

[craft1948]

I found a cauliflower in my pan drawer yesterday?

[tara20]

All kinds of exotic spices and sauces which seemed a good idea at the time and then were rarely (or never) used

[Booldawg]

LOL tara, thats what started this thread. I was looking for some garam masala and cornflour but to no avail. Nearly put coffee whitener in my curry by mistake.

[askyourgran]

I have two jars of dried Parsley, and three jars of Italian herbs, two bags of fusilli pasta.

[chokkie]

I have a huge collection of tinned stuff in my cupboards. And a large collection of herbs and spices that really ought to be chucked.

[boxtops]

ancient fruit......

[tara20]

My late mother-in-law used to put leftover coffee from breakfast into the mushroom sauce, because it gave it a nice colour! It was years before we saw her do it - mind you, it tasted great.

[boxtops]

I read in today's papers that most people these days only use three of the herbs and spices in their spice racks because they don't know what to do with the others - one of them was bay leaves, I can't remember what the others were, anybody see it? The rest go all grey in their pots then they get thrown away. I know that feeling...!
