I have to buy salt.....

Xavi6

Just went to make dinner there and there's no feckin salt! Never before in my 23 and a half years on this planet has there been a shortage of salt in the kitchen. It's always just been there.

Things like jacks roll and milk always run out but never salt.

Did you have anything growing up that was always 'just there' when you wanted it?

Yore ma was always there when I wanted it.

no

funk-you

It's like socks. There's always socks around the place somewhere. I'm at the stage that i just ask people to get them for me at xmas and birthdays. Never bought a pair.

Maybe that's why we never had any milk; you were getting it all from her tits.

brown sauce never ever bought any but its always there

dr.bollocko

Similarly worcestershire sauce. Nobody ever runs out.
And yet the soy sauce is always empty.

Never, ever ran out of cornflakes because my dad being such a mammy's boy and having his morning routine so ingrained would flip out.

Caught drinking at fourteen? No biggy.
Ate the last of the cornflakes? Unleash the fury.

Either you're a thief or Polish with friends in Aldi.

I never actually wanted or needed it, it but I think the same bottle of whiskey has been there for as long as I remember. Only time it's used is when my Mam makes Christmas cake. So if anyone wants whiskey, come to mine.

Milk is very nearly always there, because our family goes through so much of it (at least 2 and a half cartons every day) , so my Mam always buys a lot of it together.

Xavi6, you should take sachets of salt from restaurants. Then you'll never be short of it. If you take enough, you'll never even have to buy salt again.

There was always cardboard containers of Birds custard and packets of jelly at the back of the press along with bags of bread soda and castor sugar. I wonder if anyone else called cupboards 'presses'? We also called the kitchen the 'scullery'. This is like an 'all things retro' thread.

Fresh Breeze

We have endless supplies of cheese & bread in our house.

My family is quite fond of cheese and toast.

Ketchup sauces/milk always run out.

After your workout or exercise just wring out your sweaty clothes and gather up the sweat and wait for the liquid to evaporate. Then collect the remaining deposits and save it up into a salt sellar as you will get salt.

I don't think I've ever used the word "cupboard". They're most definitely presses, as far as I'm concerned.

That's just weird, though!

...and we called 'runners''gutties'.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Something with a "H-Williams" tag. There was ALWAYS soemthing with a H-Williams tag.

Why is there never any soy sauce? Why god, why? Life is so unfair.
