coyleys Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Whats the difference between a pantry and a larder? is one an older saying than the other? or one bigger than the other?, when i was young we used to say both, and ours was just a walk in cupboard with a cold shelf, is there a difference?

redrobbo Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 When I was a kid, and we lived in a post-war council house, we had a walk-in pantry. Larders were what folk who lived in posh houses had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prioryx Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Is'nt a Pantry were pans and tinned goods were stored and a Larder where fresh or food that could be stored was kept. Just a guess at defining the words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 5"x5" squares of the Green 'Un. (except when we had company, then it was ten bob notes), and we'd choose the pieces with the opposition's players on to use.
