Hey Veeky Forums inviting my chef brother to my house for a week and would really love to show off my pantry to him. What should I stock my pantry with?

I'm sorry, what? Does he hail from famine-struck 1840s Ireland? What do you mean by show off your pantry?

put all your dry goods like pasta in big jars
he'll be absolutely awestruck

Buy a shitton of sweets as you always do fatty

-funfetti cake mix, the most luxe cake mix
-canned fruit and canned shellfish
-those ritz bitz sandwiches with the shelf-stable cheese in the middle
-for staples like flour/sugar/etc,you can make them super impressive by storing them in luxury handbags. you can just rent the handbags and send them back when your brother leaves.
-budweiser chelada
-Wolf Brand Chili, the only chili named after a kind of dog
-a wide variety of Little Debbie products

well you see i've lived 29 years and I know bait when i see it

Showing your pantry to someone is weird unless they're hungry.

he's staying for a week and going to cook so i want him to feel comfy

...

Right, all night every night.

Make sure you've got plenty of 'cha on hand

Whole spices and a mortar and pestle
>Only bitches use pre-ground spices

Yeah, there's bound be more chillis named after dogs.

bumping ignoring the op what should a pantry actually have ?

Expensive olive oil
Whole dry sausages hanging
Braid of onions
Ajvar
Dates
Hipster pasta
Marcipan
Nuts
Dark chocolate
Pancheta
Brie
Figs
Pig fat
Yeast
Wheel of cheese
Bottle of homemade strawberry balsamic vinegar

nothing but condiments, soda and cereal
fill the whole thing

why do you feel the need to lie to your brother?

...

then get some wooden bowls and put citrus fruits in them, and distribute them around the house

Capers, yeah.
That's sure to impress

This is a really bizarre thread
