Show me your stockpiles

[SpunBodgeSquarepants]

Not because I'm keeping a list of who has food for when the shit hits the fan... Just because I'm a nosy bitch.

Here's mine - I started adding to it a few weeks ago. It's only me and almost 5yo DS I really have to worry about so I feel its almost there.

Oh Goddess!! It’s bad enough when we get infiltrated by goady fuckers, but now we have a horde of anchovy lovers! 🤢

Behave or i’ll Track you all down when things go tits up and tell everyone where your stash is! walks off feeling slightly nauseous 🤢

Puttanesca sauce is nice with tuna...fresh ideally but could use tinned in a storecupboard scenario.

Lovely on pizza with black olives, marinated artichokes and prosciutto.

@IDoN0tCare Try to be brave

Will no one think of the capers ?

Try to be brave

reaches out for a reassuring hug off AutumnCrow. Smells anchovies. Recoils in horror!. Nope. Can’t do it. The very thought of them. 🤢

Now capers! Yum yum.

Anchovies and capers, eh? Puts my very working class stockpile of beans and tinned tuna to shame! I have got a couple of packs of halloumi (BBE some time in 2020.)

You can have all of the capers and anchovies. I wouldn't forward purchase panic buy any of those!

Just send any spares to me! I can swap for rhubarb.

I can swap for frozen tomatoes and tomato soup and tomato sauce and tomato everything really 🍅

Capers are pricey, aren't they? And I only ever use a few at a time because DP and DC don't like them. I suppose I could freeze them in sad little bags for one, with the black olives they also don't like. Absolute philistines.*

*which is an ironic label as the real Philistines from the Levant probably ate a lot of olives and capers - and probably anchovies / garum 😀

I'm growing nasturtiums to turn the buds into caper type things.

not buds, seeds. Doh.

That might be where I went wrong last time I tried it.

I just googled this, Kitten. Thank you for the idea!

A baked bean (of which I have goodly number of tins) is a thing of joy with capers and butter. Capers and olives were first on my list when I thought things from Spain/Greece/Italy might be disrupted. Innocent early stash days. Now surrounded by cif and loo roll and other more prosaic things. Where did it all go wrong !!

I just buy the jars of capers from Lidl. I use them instead of fish when I’m making a fish and potato cake, with breadcrumbs. Actually, I haven’t made that particular dish for years. Now where did I leave that recipe?

Capers instead of fish ?! Wow now that has blown my mind!

Baked beans and capers? I think you’d better get in extra loo rolls.

Capers instead of fish ?! Wow now that has blown my mind!

Okay okay. whispers I’m vegan. I make tuna ones for my wee girl.

Ha ha. I have been wanting to make a loo roll joke (ie why £hundreds of rolls when there is an air of ‘rations’ re food - haven’t dared.
Honest try the sweetnof beans with the sharpnof caper is delicious !

I’ve been veggie my whole adult life and that caper/fish thing rang a bell - I’m going to try them in potato cake. Sounds really good. Thanks.

You’re welcome. 😁 I was making them for my husband years ago and suddenly thought, ‘capers have a briney taste and so do fish!’💡 It’s not too bad. I find the cakes, fish or capers, don’t cook as nicely if they’re frozen, unfortunately.

Cheerful reading, thanks Cloudtree. Basically we are as doomed as we thought and have been saying all along. Yippee.

Particularly doomed if in Northern Ireland..

Tell me about it! Sigh. 😔 Ifvthey guck it up we’ll have a renewal of the troubles on top of it. I swear that I’ve made an effort not to fall out with the very few Brexit friends that I have, but if NI gets fucked over because of this vote I don’t think I could let them over my door again.
