Nice post. Being old enough, I remember that even small houses had pantries. More a necessity than a luxury. Likewise, even the smallest hall of residence bedroom had a “pop up pantry” – typically constructed from two Sainsbury’s bags, hung from a window hook. Here in Cambridge MA, we chill our evening drinks in the pile of snow outside the back door. Life lesson? – there’s more to life than a Smeg!
