Pantry

A pantry is a room in a domestic house used for food storage. The derivation of the word is from the Old French term 'paneterie', see Folk etymology.

A pantry may contain a thrawl, which is a term used in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, and is a stone slab or shelf used to keep food cool in the days before refrigeration was domestically available.
