Oils, vinegars and wine
bar of soap

Having gone completely OTT with the number of oils and vinegars I use I've now restricted my kitchen cupboards to the following

Oils
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - for salad dressings etc.
Pure Olive Oil - for cooking.
Rapeseed Oil.
Groundnut oil - mainly for thai cooking
Palm oil
Coconut oil - some recipes call for coconut oil and it does have other uses; hair and skin etc.
Sesame oil.- a must have

I've dumped a number of other exotic oils. They reached their use by date and I'd rarely used them.

Vinegars
Good old malt vinegar - white and brown.
Balsamic -a must have
Wine vinegars - red and white
Rice vinegar
Cider vinegar

Wine
I also have a ready supply of Rice wine available when needed.

Hmm.. I sense a lack of true Brits!

Does no one else keep that essential vinegar? Pickled onion!

I tend to just stick to 4 :

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling and dipping (Sainsbury's Taste The Difference)
"Standard" olive oil for cooking (usually the own brand of whichever supermarket I've shopped at)
Balsamic vinegar (usually own brand)
Malt vinegar (mostly Sarson's because it is easy to pour. Can't stand the stuff myself, but my husband likes it).

Wine... oh lots - usually a Malbec, a Sauvignon Blanc, and a sparkling of some description. Not usually Prosecco as I find it too sweet.
