A lot of sauces and pickles there that should be refrigerated.

You don’t keep ketchup in the fridge?

When it’s opened. That’s a reserve ketchup, I expect. Never touch the stuff personally but the other three like it enough to lay in stocks.

I’m quite surprised this one didn’t take off. People are usually happy to humour DLR’s whims, presumably out of fear.
Maybe most people here are beyond cupboards: they have just-in-time food delivery that synchronises with their cooking schedules, or they feel no need to hide their comestibles away behind old-fashioned doors, displaying them proudly on spotlit shelves, or they have walk-in larders, or they are breatharians who scorn food. No wonder that Urban’s dwindling band of cupboard owners won’t risk ridicule by posting here.

I hummus, therefore I am ...
I did a big shop today ..
The 6 kilos of tahini are problematic enough, but trips to the deli bring the additional hazard of dates and other sweet things so I try to make them infrequent.
That's an old photo of the fridge but it is as usual stuffed with cruciferous greens and mushrooms...
When I escape this place I'm going to miss the Indian Deli, the Polish shop and the Chinese supermarket...

Where there is none, let me bring forth hummustahini and chickpeas
I currently have boxes somewhere in a removal company's storage unit on an industrial estate.
Before that I had open shelves, old wooden crates and plastic fisheries boxes in odd places, and stuff hanging from hooks around the walls and ceiling.

Just out of curiosity, what do you do with all that Tahini? I make loads of houmous but a 500g jar seems to last me forever...

You clearly don’t read gentlegreen ‘s dietary posts. He only eats tahini.

Oh. No I don't read the entire boards. Last I saw it was some sort of permanent stew type affair.
I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek... Either that, or he must have a very sticky palate.
For those updating their spreadsheets, the yellow tin has red lentils in
A further gobbet of information, I have four bottles of malt vinegar as when I’m on holiday I usually go to a chippy and they never put on enough vinegar for my tastes so I have to buy another bottle.

Yeah, I’m overstating. But rather than chips with everything, it does seem to be tahini with everything!

I would also like to add the cupboard caddy thing was a great buy from Sainsbury’s (originally as I didn’t have any drawers in my last house so nowhere to store cutlery) but now it’s really handy for useful stuff I want at hand like salt, pepper and oil which also doesn’t fit in a cupboard, and reduces worktop mess.
The other one is for frequently used herb and spice jars, means I can grab them all at once and also prevents them falling over in the cupboard.

I swear at the deli they must think I'm running some sort of catering operation !
I don't actually make hummus with it, but pour it on my dinner, and more recently, salad - in the days when I could eat bread, a special treat was warm granary dunked in it...
It was one of the things I discovered in the early 80s when I went veggie - though until I started shopping at the deli a mile from my home around 2012 it was expensive health-food coop stuff I had to endure H&B in town to get... I'm not sure when I started getting through a 900g jar a week.
I was quite alarmed when I did the maths last year, but though tahini provides a third of my daily calories, my diet has ended up at approx 60:25:15 - so roughly "Mediterranean" ...
I'm hopeful that if I get to the part of France where I want to live, I will still be able to get it relatively cheaply - though it would mean a £20 ferry ride to the nearest city (or a drive or long bus ride) as the local "Bio-Coop" (The French are very anti-vegan, but obsessed with "organic" and every kind of woo ) is likely to be very expensive as well as deeply cringey ...

That's actually quite impressive!
seeformiles taking a look at this and reconsidering calling his cupboards a right mess.
Spices, condiments and trays if tins are stored in different cupboards. Note the portable lights on top of the switch to inspect the back of the shelves.
