Guardian Weekend: Letters
I was inspired by Matthew Fort to forgo my shopping and instead root through cupboard and fridge for "hidden treasures" (Recipes, August 5). Imagine my dismay on finding myself clean out of chard, pecorino and duck eggs. Some swine must have also polished off the left-over rabbit stew together with the gooseberry and elderflower purée. Damn. Does Matthew Fort have any creative uses for sardines, Ryvita and frozen peas?Nigel Longhurst

I have a few ideas as to what he can do with them (as I'm sure you do also). Unfortunately this is a family site!
