To think a fully equipped kitchen for 6 people must include...

[PenguinsAreAce]

...amongst other essentials the following items:
Wooden spoon or plastic/silicon equivalent
Whisk
Spatula
Scales
Large bowl big enough to make salad/ cake mix / whatever for six people
More than one tea towel (for 7 days)

Bonus points if you can guess what has inspired this.

I wouldn't say a bowl, whisk, or scales were essential.
I can't remember the last time I used scales.
A large bowl and whisk, probably xmas time.

Just used a large bowl for salad in our holiday let. Use scales on a daily basis at home. And a whisk is essential for whipped cream!

Glad I listened to you all. Got a brilliant table football set off EBay for £10!!

Here you go, penguinsAreAce - and I'm about to make use of them

(No manual for the washing machine, though, and I can't get it to spin our rain-soaked clothes without running a full wash )
