What’s in your shopping basket, Larry Emdur?

What are 10 items you always have in your shopping basket every week?
Bread, milk, eggs, shaved turkey, smoked salmon, cans of tuna, olives, pasta, BBQ chook and a fajita kit.

Do you have any favourite indulgent snacks or treats?
Milky Bars… But I have to buy them and eat them before I get home so my wife Sylvie doesn’t find out! Sssshhhh!

FEATURES: What’s in your shopping basket, Sammy and Bella?

What are your favourite ingredients or food items that you are cooking with at the moment?
We are in a huge fajita phase right now. So chicken, beef or prawns, three different capsicum and the fajita kit.

Do you have any favourite fruit?
Apples! Because they keep the doctor away and they last longer in my briefcase than bananas!

What about favourite vegetables?
Carrots. We do lots of stir-fries and regularly hit the dips so we get through a stack of them.

Is there a favourite recipe or meal that you regularly make?
Sylvie does a fantastic DIY pasta. She makes and serves the pasta and special sauce, then puts dishes with olives, cheese, salamis, artichokes and other meats in the middle of the table and everyone just builds their own gourmet pasta. We stole it from TV chef Geoff Janzs years ago and now claim it as our own!

What food item is always in your fridge/pantry?
There’s always a BBQ chook in the fridge. I’ll come home from work and rip off a breast for lunch and our son Jye will come home from a surf or training and devour the rest!

Do you like shopping for groceries?
No! I hate it… Inevitably the checkout person always asks me to put the items in order from least expensive to most expensive.
