What condiments do you keep in stock? (Or sauces or pastes or a rose by any other name) For what cuisines and/or dishes?

Nope, apartment-sized kitchen and regular size fridge.

Depends on what you store where and how, I guess.

Tall vinegars and fish sauce are under the sink. The rest are between pantry cupboard and fridge.

If I don’t see it, I won’t use it.

Also depends on what kind of interest one has in cooking, and what range of cuisines one explores at home. You really can’t get the right results in many cuisines without specific items, so if you choose to cook them, your pantry has to grow.

And of course this does not include spices. Spice organization has been discussed more specifically.
