The other person's post was about Kitchen Bouquet (not
worstershire)which is a liquid smoke product. Not one we have handy at
all.

I don't stock lemons because we use them only rarely but Don noted we
had a lemon squeeze plastic thingie (used it on the snapper he just
made us).

Keep in mind there is not really anything like a 'well stocked pantry'
that matches all cooking styles. For you, those may be basics but to a
person who cooks differently, not so much so.

You use a gravy stock same name as the liquid smoke? Interesting! I
use Minors mostly but for some things it's Kum Lee.
