The derivation of the word is from the same source as the Old French term paneterie; that is from pain, the French form of the Latin panis for bread.
A few other points to consider when starting an emergency food pantry are: 1  To store emergency foods that will not require refrigeration, and should require little electricity or fuel to prepare. 2  The food should have a long shelf life. 3  It should provide ample nutrition and contain little salt.
