Haha I am JUST this morning sorting through pantry stuff in anticipation of selling my house. Timely! I am actually going down much further than you since I'm moving x-country. But am finding so many delicious items I cant bear to throw out that I've organized a party for folks to take whatever they want.

gave away several types of chili crisp! Here’s where I admit that I feel neutral towards it

Also gave away a lot of good olive oil, I truly have been sent so much and it would go bad before I could use it all

I love lists like these! Non-negotiables in my pantry: too many great olive oils, tub of al arz tahini, can of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes, coconut oil, cans of coconut milk.

So many good things on your list! May I mention Prima Taste instant laksa, Big Spoon nut butters (I’m a pushover for the ginger almond), cellophane noodles in the pink netting for tired night dinners, and did you know they also put condensed milk in little squeeze packets like ketchup or soy sauce? I keep a few in my bag in case I’m stuck in a hotel room with only that foul stuff they call ‘coffee whitener’.

Oooh instant laksa is a clutch move and the condensed milk tip is so clever

I am in the process of moving and staring at my open pantry at this very moment, asking myself how expired REALLY is 6 month old organic flour if it has never been opened?

All of my olive oils purchased abroad, tinned fish, all of my Bob’s flours, The Fullest saffron sachets, tomato paste, and at least one Sauz pasta sauce.
