Usage examples (35)
  • It's similar to the English word larder, where perishable food and drink were stored before we all had refrigerators.
  • The word "larder" is a nice one, because it means both a place where food is stored, and a supply of food, especially for a household.
  • Our larder is not too much encumbered with provision.
  • And I don't know anyone who would say they have a "larder"-probably because what would have been in a larder, is in a fridge now.
