Semi-skimmed milk
Flora Buttery
Lurpak butter
Sparkling mineral water
Filtered tap water (in a Brita jug)
Tomatoes
Cold meat or other sandwich fillings
Cheese - always Cheddar and/or Red Leicester and sometimes Blue Stilton

Other ordinary things like mushrooms and sausages come and go but the above are all stalwarts.
