Some of the answers may be a bit difficult. I know that I used to have a pantry, but I pulled it out in the kitchen reno so all I have are cabinets. So while a thing in the kitchen that holds food may be a pantry it also may not be. The defining line for me is that cabinets are casework/millwork. Pantries are generally larger and more closet-like. Hutches or china cabinets (holding dishes) tend to be pieces of furniture (as are wardrobes) whereas a closet tends to be a small room for storage.
