What are the 10 foods you must have in your refrigerator and/or your kitchen cabinet?

My fridge is broken. A man from the manufacturer came and confirmed that it doesn't work properly. As such, I am unable to keep any food that requires refrigeration in it. So I will list the foods I must not store in my fridge while I am waiting for it to be replaced.

1. Obviously, fresh milk is the first candidate. Experience has taught me that it leaves a nasty smell when it grows up and becomes cheese.
2. Secondly, cheese. I like really strong, mature cheeses. These are particularly painful when the fridge doesn't work.
3. Fresh fish and meats are another no-no, too. No-one like a whiff on ammonia with their breakfast.
4. Leftovers. If it's been cooked and served but not finished it's going to go bad. Put it in the trash and the city will burn it and turn it into electricity.

That's about it, really. Other things, like sodas, beers, wines and so on don't go bad in a warm fridge. They just stay at room temperature. Warm Diet Coke isn't the best but it's not quite as bad a cheese with legs.
