In the fridge or not in the fridge?

Fridge kills all flavour in tomatoes almost instantly

Has the word "fridge" lost all meaning to anyone else now they have read it so many times?! 😂

I keep open jam in the fridge because when I tried keeping it on a shelf to save fridge space, it went mouldy. Maybe I was taking too long to eat it though as it was just me at that point

The thought of a cold grape straight from the fridge sets my teeth on edge!
Also don’t put eggs in, but aside from those two, I’d put all the others in.

Curious about the butter in winter, does it just stay on the counter top or something instead of the fridge?

same - but tomatoes do not go in the fridge either.

That made me laugh 😂 yes I put 1 egg in my bread mix! It's an American recipe so it is probably sweeter than standard but it's definitely not brioche. It's incredibly popular and always works - so I don't mess with the recipe 😁.

Everything in fridge except eggs

If you don’t like things cold you can get them out for a bit before you eat/use them but they last longer in the fridge.

Eggs definitely not in the fridge - if you’re baking you need them to be room temperature. The fact fridges have holders doesn’t mean they need to go in there in the UK

Butter only goes in the fridge here if it’s hot
Condiments - jams etc yes in the fridge. Partly for space reasons and partly because modern jams seem to go mouldy quite quickly now

Onions - no. Live with the potatoes

Grapes - no. Live with the other fruit

Pass the smelling salts: you put eggs in your bread?
Real bread is made with flour, yeast (or sourdough starter), water and salt (and half a teaspoon of sugar if you need to feed the yeast). Nothing else!
Adding eggs to the mix makes brioche.

All in the fridge. Jars when open.

The onions would be in the pantry, along with unopened easy garlic and tomato paste - to be shifted over to the fridge with everything else on your list once they'd been opened.

Sometimes I side eye the eggs and think that they should be stored at room temperature but there's just more space in the fridge.

No fridge for onions and tomato puree.

Everything else goes in fridge.

Condiments and jarred stuff (pickles etc) on fridge once open.

Butter always in fridge. I don't like butter dishes 😒

Don't drink anymore and only ever used to drink red wine but for guests it would go in the fridge night before or as long as possible before guests arrive.

I keep all of those in the fridge.

I remember family members born before WW1 didn't see a tomato until they were adults - and they didn't eat them then, because they were rumoured to be poisonous (same family as deadly nightshade, I believe?) !

Onions and tomatoes have no business being in the fridge. For butter, it depends whether I want it at room temperature for sandwiches (in which case it lives in a butter dish on the work surface) or kept cold for making pastry.

All in the fridge. I find it's easier to prep when everything is in the same place.

Temperatures make a big difference. I used to leave a lot more things out of the fridge in the UK Northwest than in the American South.

Also in an Anglo-American relationship and we also disagree about several of these! Tomatoes, grapes, berries, eggs especially. I think their houses are cooler than ours.

Eggs - cupboard

Ketchup and HP - cupboard until opened, then fridge

Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans - as above cupboard until opened, then fridge

Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - grapes, apples, berries in the fridge, bananas and oranges in the fruit bowl. Grapes could be the fruit bowl we just don't.

Onions - dark cupboard. Ours are in a hessian drawstring onion bag. Not to be stored with potatoes

*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - cupboard

Opened jam and marmalade - fridge

Tomatoes - fridge, though may remove an hour or before wanting for a salad

Butter in winter - always in a butter dish on the side, summer or winter

Pickles and capers in jars - cupboard until opened, then fridge

Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - cupboard until opened, then fridge

Jam doesn't mould quickly, it's the butter in the jam from the knife. If you use a jam spoon it will last much longer and just in the cupboard.
