GURDJIEFF'S PANTRY

Mention of his PARIS PANTRY can be found in many works on G and also in works by his disciples that are frequently cited, but very little attention has been paid or payed to the actual contents of this closet/pantry save for a few passing references to spices,etc. that some claim came from Tibet,etc. The photo(s) that show it are not exactly clear in the books and need to be amplified or 'blown-up' to see what is exactly on them. Right now I do not have the time or means to exactly do this sort of 'investigation' which many will,undoubtedly,consider a complete waste of time and energy to show WHAT? To my bent of mind and to my 'peculiar inclination(s)',however, I think this area has been much neglected because one can often tell a good deal about people from what is upon their shelves(another term for what they might contain,if you get my drift). In this case, I am not looking for 'skeletons' but spices and other 'ingredients', unusual 'foods' and herbs,etc. that might well be seen in this pantry that G assembled and used for other things besides mere 'cooking'!
