denlin Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 A pantry is where you store food and a larder is a Russian car made out of discarded tin cans from your pantry:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 As far as I am aware a pantry is a walk in cupboard and a larder is a type of cool box. I think you're spot on, lived in Leicester for a while and we had both house around the 30s?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Having a second think could larder come from the days before fridg'when the pigs lard had to be kept in a cool dark place for the harsh winter realy same as a root cell ?often dug into somewere cool and dark to keep your spuds in ,also think pantry was walk in for dry goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 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? On is for dry goods and the other is cold and for fresh goods. Is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
