Hah, yeah… we’ve done so much moving over the last few years we have started to
be ruthless throwing things out when we move, but a few old items have
nevertheless slipped through the net!
I used to have a big stash of Asian ingredients BD (before Dohn) when I was on
a Neil Perry and Fuschia Dunlop spree. I did get rid of a lot of bottles and
jars over the years that I didn’t think I’d use again any time soon (and have
bought replacements for most haha). Getting the exact ingredient called for in
the recipes was often a challenge though. Still is... I have everything on that
list except red vinegar, though not the same brands. And a few others as well,
though I am quite sure not as many as Susan haha!

The same for me. I had complaints about the room they took in the fridge. I’m
remembering a bottle of Hoisin sauce that kept being moved aside and was over
10 years old before it finally got thrown out. Other stuff on the top shelf
was just ignored. When I moved all of that got cleaned out. A friend came to
help separate the outdated stuff. Most of the good stuff was donated to a
food bank.

Yes, I saw this as well. I have most of those ingredients but was interested
in the brands. My problem is that I often buy different sauces and pastes,
then forget about them. Then when I remember, they are often years out of
date...

Just saw this… I’m sure we all have our favourites, but where we don't it’s
good to have recommendations to fall back on.
