Wife: “this is like middle of winter root cellar fried rice like we have no food”
Me: is that a thing? Googles...

They're fairly common in older houses particularly in rural areas. Rarely used of course now with refrigerators, stores, and no gardens

what's extra amazing is when it's in a rich country they call it a root cellar & when it's in a poor country the rich countries' anthropologists call it an "underground storage pit"
