Desert Island Ingredient

[Rhona]

As I use tomato puree for the fifth time this morning (brilliant under cheese on toast!), I just idly wondered whether it would be my 'desert island' take-along. I remember reading about an explorer who always travelled with a bottle of Tabasco as it was lightweight, masked vile flavours and excited bland ones. I thought it was a great idea!

So... what would you take?

[SarzWix]

Oh my, that's a tough one... Tomato puree is a good choice, but, would I be able to take it if it meant leaving chocolate behind??!! Or garlic? That's good if you get ill too...

Probably cheese, either parmesan or a nice strong cheddar. It's amazing how many meals can be perked up with cheese.

[SlugLobber]

Yep, some strong cheddar (but only on a short trip, unless I wanted the Orient Express all to myself, ha ha!).

Tin of beans for emergencies? Would I be ousted from the Vine for saying that?

Blue Stilton not easy to get anywhere other than GB.

Would I be allowed Felicity Kendall (mint cake?)

I think cheese - a good all rounder like Cheddar or Mozzarella.

Knorr chicken stock powder, in a bottomless tub!

One of me own chutneys. They perk up EVERYTHING (except my old man who doesn't like chutney - so mine lasts longer!)
