gardening is a lot of fun and canning is something we always did as a family. plus you can get flavor combinations that they would never sell in stores because its not economical on an industrial scale.
my personal pantry is only about a quarter of the size of pic, which is my parents. but they have a 22 acre hobby farm and I have a traditional victory garden set up.

The carbon steel knife in the middle was my great grandfather's, he used it in the packing houses when he came to America after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire. We don't use it for kitchen work, but still use it for butchering, thing will cut through a hogs throat or deer flank like butter.

This is the farm house, my city house pantry isn't as big on account of not having several acres of gardens.

This is correct in a real pantry you jam it in as tight as possible, behold

Beyond all the ass hurt on both sides in this thread, is it so hard to believe that some of us just enjoy the act of cooking and prepping food? I just had a blast making ice cream for dessert tonight for a dinner I'm making for my parents who are stopping by the house. They in turn moved out of their nice house in the city 10 years ago to a 30 acre plot of farmland with a "house" that was 2 double wide trailers bolted together and no air conditioning. They've honestly never been happier, and for that matter healthier living quietly raising chickens and Guinea hogs for food, and growing and canning vegetables while still driving 45 minutes a day back into the city for work. Pictured is their pantry.
