Fridge contents.

[Bewlay Bros]

Do you put any of the following in your fridge?

1) Eggs
2) Veg (if it is going to be eaten soon)
3) Various pickles (i.e onions, wallys, beetroot etc)
4) Ketchup, mayo, Branstons etc
5) Tinned fish (tuna, pilchards etc)
6) Chocolate (in the winter)
7) Tinned corned beef, spam etc
8) Tetra pack fruit juice, long life milk (if for stoarage only)

The reason I ask is none of these are chilled in Waitrose, yet many seem to put them in the fridge. Also Ketchup, for example, states refridgerate once opened. I say this is not necessary.

Nothing wrong with fridge content trivia, when facts and a general dicussion may ensue.

See I do keep eggs in fridge but they dont in supermarkets so I dont know why I do. Anything tinned I put in cupboards, veg goes in bottom of fridge in a huge tray. Chocolate always fridge, I have a condiments cupboard so everything goes in there apart from mayo, I like that chilled, Juice in fridge and dont get long life milk. Pickles in fridge.

[wolf63]

Yes to all.

Chocolate sometimes makes a short stop in the fridge on its way to my mouth. Cold chocolate is extra yummy.

Pickles etc - nicer cold when with cold food.

Wardy, I use four things on your list and only one is kept in the fridge - the fruit juice. The vegetables, ketchup and chocolates are always stored in the pantry.

Chocolate out the fridge gives me tooth ache and makes it too hard. Eggs yes, veg and sauce no.

[obNOXious]

The only thing on that list I keep in the fridge is fruit juice because I like it cold.
I like soft chocolate and eggs break their yolks more eaily if theyre fridged and I can never do a fried egg without it breaking anyway so I'm not going to make a rod for my own back:)

[banjobabe]

Hey Bew,

1) No never it's not necessary
2) salad and sometimes carrots
3) pickled onions and beetroot
4) Mayo - not ketchup ever!
5) Tuna when it is out of tin
6) Chocolate all the time
7) No
8) No - don't like my juice too cold

I do like to keep my marmalade in the fridge tho!

[Skreecheeboy]

Yes to all except tuna, corned beef and spam and tetra packs that aren't being used. The ketchup seperates if it's not in the fridge though if you shake it as I always do it doesn't really matter but I like cool ketchup, especially on an omlette if the omlette is hotter than the fires of hell.

[cazzz1975]

I keep jars in the cupboard unless they have been opened,
ketchup should be in the fridge anyway once opened, as there is a mould issue.

I keep potatoes out, tins in the cupboard unless they have been opened, tetra pack juice cupboard unless opened!

[Bewlay Bros]

Unrulie one, a wally is a London term for Gherkin (though I am not a c0ckney, like Uncle Raymondo)

[4GS]

2) Yes, if to be consumed that day
3) yes
4) Won't allow that rubbish in the house, chav food in my opinion

5) No
6) It doesn't last long enough to get anywhere near the fridge in the 4GS house
7) As per answer 4
8) Fruit juice, yes. long life milk? what on earth is that all about?

[unrulyjulie]

oh right thanks BB. i will have to ask ray about that one then! never heard of it. I only eat gerkins in a maccy D's!

[wolf63]

I found one of my cats in the fridge once - not sure what category he fits in to.

[unrulyjulie]

john, how can ketchup and mayo be chav food? ya lost me on that one!
Tinned meat i can see where you're coming from, only a little bit though lol but not sauces! I'd be lost without me tommyfarter sauce!

[Bewlay Bros]

Tinned Spam is on most of the top restaurants in London nowadays. Great food.

Tinned corned beef is much better in hashes than fresh deli slices.

As a general snob of most things in life, I honestly fail to see chavity in Ketchup or Mayo etc.

I always have long life milk in case fresh stuff runs out. As I drink up to 5 pints a day, one has to have supplies. Actually long life is sometimes very nice. The half fat semi UHT is often very creamy.

I refuse to have ketchup, hp, mayo or any other artificial (sp) sauce that comes out of a bottle in the house, I prefer to make my own. Probably shouldn't have called it chav food, apologies everyone.
