Depends on what order of you use it in and your hygiene I suppose.

More important when you wash it ?

I'd avoid those sauces like the plague anyway with all the extra added salts and sugars in the ingredients. Everything is readily available to make a good homemade sauce, but your point stands in that it proves its not made in Italy depsite its name.

People sadly are stupid and assume everything comes from somewhere else purely based on 1 brand or an originating source back in the day.. Was out yesterday in Coningsby and heard people banging on about toilet rolls and they had been stockpiling as they thought the government don't know when the next batch would be imported, imagine their surprise when I informed them the factory that makes, packages them and ships them to the supermarkets in Lincoln are based on the A17 just past Cranwell which is about 16 miles away and is readily shipping daily ?.

Best bit about this is that years ago my freezer was full of chicken, beef, veg etc but the wife decided not needed so she used it up.

However this showed her to have a little extra aside incase the idiots clear the shelves and we can't provide meals for the family

Believe it was voiced over by Richard Dimbleby - his "gravitas" lent the joke an air of authority. (I don't actually remember the original as it was 6 months before I made my worldly appearance).

I watched it live, no recorders back then . There was a guy called Jonathon Rough presented similar programmes, all in black and white

I quite like spag or linguine with just olive oil, a touch of heated through garlic and chilli flakes. Garnished with parmy and chopped parsley. It's almost plain, and very store cupboard focused...

That was my favourite pack down meal when I was racing. Italian chef used to have it set up with pizza bread ... delicious! (Carb heavy I suppose but who cares!)

 

[pendodave]

Maybe we need a store cupboard recipe thread??

On weds the local supermarket was pretty much fully stocked, after last night, it was empty shelves again, missing in action :

Soap, pasta, tins of soup, bog rolls, tissues, paracetamol (every single brand, even the expensive ones), Ibuprofen, peanut butter.
The beer stocks were down too
