Ingredients you wouldn't be without.

Ingredient I wouldn't be without? Has to be onion. As either Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall or Nigel Slater said, "if you haven't got an onion in the house, stop reading this and go and buy one".

Nah, that's not an ingredient, that's a staple...

Strangely, though Marmite seems to polarise people, I neither love it or hate it.

Same here.

Not ingredients but things I like to have at all times are peanut butter, eggs and instant ovaltine, along with a loaf of sliced white in the freezer.

Juniper berries are good for home-made game or beef stock.

I totally agree on the Smoked Paprika, and any paprika fan needs to make a Chicken Paprikas it's fantastic.

I'll go out on a limb by adding Preserved Lemons and Olives, I love a good hearty Moroccan Tagine (Stew)

I hope that didn't come across as Me suggesting you added to Preserved Lemons and Olives to the Paprikas that would be oh so wrong...

No sir, I've never made paprikas but I understood the lemons and olives were for the tagine.
I was rather excited because I'd made some preserved lemons about 6 months ago and I forgot all about them.

Paprikas is a fave in this house, especially as it's a one pot dish so 1 knife and a large pan to wash up
Chicken, Onions, garlic, Red Peppers, 3 heaped tsp Paprika (1 each of hot, sweet, smoked) Tin of toms, chicken stock, creme fraich and parsely to finish, fry combine cook in the obvious order and you can't go wrong.
