Definitely bacon/procuitto/pancetta!!!! & Passata! I also always have a frozen jar of my pizza sauce which is basically aldi stir through sauce with a heaped tablespoon of minced garlic stirred through.
Leftover frozen wine!!!
And some cheese of some description.
You'll also always find sour cream, normal cream and blocks of unsalted & salted butter LOL!
Oh and I always have a few tins of condensed milk in the cupboard.
Truffle oil is delectable! The one I have is truffle infused olive oil. I used to purchase the good quality truffle oil concentrate but it can be a bit exxy and I kept putting in more than I should, whereas with the olive oil you can be more liberal and not panic. It has a really nice mushroom flavour (truffles are from the mushroom family) and adds another depth to a dish without the need for "additives" iykwim? Great in soup, pasta sauce (red or white), mashed potato, scrambled eggs and of course risotto (which isn't complete without it IMO).
condensed milk
nestle caramel top'n'fill
nestle choc'n'top (same as the top'n'fill only chocolate)
cartons of longlife cream
packets of scotch finger biscuits (the biscuits, cream and top'n'fill/choc'n'top make a dead easy dessert if you get caught out)
cream of mushroom soup (great beef strog base)
dry soup mixes (french onion/spring vegetable/chicken noodle - not much you can't make with those)
tin tomatoes
curry powder
potatoes
pasta
rice
assortment of stocks (beef/chicken/vegetable)
ketcap mannis (sweet soy sauce)
oyster sauce
The freezer is always stocked with beef/lamb/chicken too.
OMG girls, can I come and live at your houses??? At the moment I have NOTHING in my fridge/freezer/cupboards...I just made my own version of savoury mince and mash. I didn't have onions, only green onions and substituted pasta sauce with chopped tinned tomatoes and some herbs. I have no more potatoes and have used the last of the tinned tomatoes and tomato paste, no bread, only 1 litre of milk... we're getting desperate, but I won't go shopping till after chrissy though. We will have to go and stay at mums just so I have food to eat, LOL! Lucky it's chrissy and we have an excuse, hehe!

: baby brain affecting spelling...
I think (and I have heard others say different things) they have a texture of a walnut, but taste kind of like a parmesan infused mushroom. They can be quite strong but the flavour is amazing. Some people don't like actual truffles, but I love them! I just wish they weren't so expensive!
