Everything but the hummus

Zarinea · 12/02/2021 21:13

All of them.

But the eggs went off a week ago and I haven't got round to chucking; the cucumber is in strips in the freezer (teething baby); and we don't drink so we've got an ancient selection of wine given to us at various points.

All. Although we only have 1 egg left (but our chickens are still laying).
I don’t consider cucumber, hummus or crisps to be a staple food.

AnnaSW1 · 12/02/2021 21:15

Just no hummous. We get it maybe once a month cos it often doesn't get eaten.

Crazycatlady202020 · 12/02/2021 21:15

All of them except the hummus

bruffin · 12/02/2021 21:15

All but the houmous, ds is allergic

AnnaSW1 · 12/02/2021 21:16

Cucumbers are the staple food for my toddlers. They eat it with every meal

Taswama · 12/02/2021 21:16

All except hummus. But we have all the ingredients to make it ourselves.

Bloodybridget · 12/02/2021 21:16

No cucumber or hummus.

APurpleSquirrel · 12/02/2021 21:17

All of them.

NoWordForFluffy · 12/02/2021 21:17

All but the hummus. The wine is left from Christmas though, we wouldn't normally have it in the house.

CaptainPovey · 12/02/2021 21:18

Hummus is a staple?

Chick peas maybe (many uses), but the actual muck that is hummus

GintyMcGinty · 12/02/2021 21:22

I do have a tin of chick peas though

dudsville · 12/02/2021 21:22

Everything but the hummus!

HaggisTheGreat · 12/02/2021 21:23

Hummus is not a staple for us, though do buy it from time to time. The rest generally are staples but currently don’t have any bread or crisps in.

skylarkdescending · 12/02/2021 21:24

All including the hummus as it's DC favourite food.
Wine supply is dwindling though as shopping day is Saturday.

Unmute · 12/02/2021 21:27

No cucumber, cheese, eggs or crisps. We don't buy any of those regularly but always have everything else on the list

Pascha · 12/02/2021 21:27

No cucumber, Hummus or crisps. None of them are on the staple list here. Everything else though.

Pascha · 12/02/2021 21:29

But the apples are a bit soft so no ones eating them, and the wine is probably a bit vinegary by now as it was opened on Sunday.
