I am about to embark on my first holiday house swap! Apparently one of the huge advantages is that there is a well stocked store cupboard unlike holiday lets. So what do you guys consider essential basics in your store cupboards just so i can make sure i have everything covered!

Thanks

Thinking about what I always seem to have in my cupboards...

Rice, Pasta & Noodles
Pasta sauces (I'm lazy!)
Tinned tomatoes & sweetcorn
Plain flour
Sugar
Loads of herbs and spices
Cereal
Tinned pineapple
Garlic
Bovirl
Veg, beef and chicken stock cubes

I think that's what I'd class as the basics anyway.

Salt, pepper, oregano, stock cubes
Flour, cornflour
Gravy powder
Tomato puree (in the fridge though)
Mustard powder
Lea & Perrons sauce
Oil for frying, oil for dressings

Teabags, coffee, sugar, Coffemate
Rice, spaghetti, other pasta, couscous
Passata
Tins of beans etc

Tea
Coffee
Sugar
Salt
Pepper
Oil
Vinegar
Soy sauce
Ketchup
Stock cubes or powder
Small selection dried herbs/spices
UHT milk (good as a standby)
Tinned toms/passata
Tinned tuna
Beans
Pasta
Rice
Noodles
Flour
Cereal
Onions and potatoes
If being really thoughtful then enough for one meal in freezer - e.g. sausages, oven chips + peas, or frozen lasagne, + vanilla ice cream.
Oh, and a bottle of wine!
