What are your store cupboard basics?

[blaisealex]

What are the essentials that you have in your store cupboard?

So, if you need to rustle up a variety of meals from scratch you know you can because you have all the essentials.

I mean things like Rice, Pasta, Spices & Herbs, Chopped Tomatoes, Flour, etc.

I'm trying to put together a list of what I need to make sure I always have in. I'm use to living on freezer foods so not sure what I would need to have to be able to cook most things from scratch. Not including fresh stuff like meat and veg obviously.

Thanks!

In my dry and tinned cupboards:
Pasta, rice, cereal, kidney beans, baked beans, coconut milk, jars of Lloyd grossman tomato and chilli and tomato and basil pasta sauce, chutney, jam, pickles, chopped tomatoes., tuna.
Spices: loads but the ones I use a lot: salt, pepper , turmeric, hot paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, curry powder, saffron, cinnamon.
I usually have some baked potatoes and frozen veg in the freezer in case I run out of fresh.
The rest is fresh stuff, but I figure zombie apocalypse we could survive a month (as long as utilities still work)!
