Food bank chat. I think it’s better to give meal type things than spices/ herbs, but you could add them as an extra. Chickpeas and coconut milk are either staples or baffling- I think they are both good donation items as they are central to various Middle Eastern/ Thai/ vegan dishes. None of my kids friends would eat hummus or Thai curry when we lived in the UK though, I think it’s unfair to expect stressed and hungry people to suddenly start rinsing beans to make disappointing burgers etc, nobody should be cook shamed. My mum was a terrible cook growing up (1980s stew/ microwave magic) she wouldn’t know what to do with chickpeas or coconut milk if she visited a food bank, but could crack on indefinitely with pasta, packet sauces and the odd tin of tuna.
