As per my comment to Quin above - I'm very freaked out that no one British here has a larder. Less posh than a pantry, I think, and quite common in 1920s/30s houses and earlier. Tends to have a stone/cement/tiled floor or otherwise be naturally chillier than the kitchen.

Am I really the only LJ person who thinks this is a normal word? Ack! I am a freak!
