Topic Takeover - what food do you stock?

We generally have fairly full food cupboards, because we do a big supermarket shop once every 3-4 weeks, then stock up on fresh food at the market every week.

We usually have the following store cupboard food:
Pasta, rice
Tinned tomatoes
Baked beans (though I'm the only one who likes them!)
Crisps
Biscuits
Sugar, flour, icing sugar, corn flour
Marmite
Jam
Dried stuffing
Cereals
Pasta sauce
Balti curry sauce

I'm wondering what else we could get? Most of our meals are mainly fresh meat and veg with pasta or rice. But if there's an Event which stops us getting fresh food we're going to get pretty bored of our food! (don't have a huge freezer either)

I've bought a couple of tins of peas and ravioli (which makes DH Hmm cos we don't eat them generally). The only tinned fruit I like is prunes and they don't sell them here Sad

Tinned fish - mackerel mainly, in various sauces.
Soup, beans, noodles, pasta, and lots of herbs/spices/seasonings/sachets of soup powder to make the boring bland stuff more interesting.
Lots of nuts/seeds/trail mix type things and dried fruit.
Sachets of coffee and various kinds of hot chocolate.
I have a Kelly Kettle with the pot stand and hobo stove thingy too, so can cook and boil water with a minimum of fuel, and it all packs into its own bag and is very portable.
I also have an open hearth with a heavy duty grill mesh in the garden too, and can cook anything out there that I could cook in the oven.

Some tinned stuff.
In the freezer I have lots off bread, croissants, cooked meals like chilli, bolognaise, cottage pie.
Need to stock up on water.
Our alternative cooking method is a BBQ which might not be very practical.

I alos have quite a lot of stuff I could use for bartering like sanitary towels, liquid soaps, medical supplies, candles, matches.

Looks like an ordinary cupboard content to me, except there are somewhat more tinned stuff. Cleared out my cupboards at home and in the back of the cupboard I found some stuff that expired in 2013, three years ago, and I had simply forgotten about it. Ew! The problem with tinned food is that you actually have to eat it at some point.
