Alton was running the same quiz on his Facebook page today (his answer: chickpeas, sardines and kosher salt.)

11

salt
olive oil
canned tomatoes

Picking three is semi-random, there are a lot of other things I never run out of because there’s a stash in the larder or they’re growing in the yard:

canned chicken broth
canned chickpeas
canned kidney beans
canned anchovies
pepper flakes
coriander seed
cumin
nutmeg
nam pla
Meyer lemons
rosemary
thyme

just three?

My pantry always has enough to create a meal at the drop of a hat (even when I was single and my fridge was mostly some Chinese takeout and a dried-up bottle of ketchup – there was still milk and eggs and pasta)

ETA: my husband quit giving me grief about my well-stocked pantry when I pulled off a sit-down dinner for 8 in the middle of a blizzard – we had a big house, so several of his colleagues needed a warm place to sleep, as getting home was not an option, even on the train…roasted chicken and vegetables, wine, and even dessert, before dragging out quilt and air mattresses.
