In the fridge or not in the fridge?

But...but...tomatoes taste of NOTHING if you put them in the fridge!

I wouldn't put eggs, butter (gets to too hard) or the tube of garlic in the fridge. The rest I would

You don't have to keep eggs in the fridge but like most things they will last longer if you do.

Eggs - not needed but easier to store there
Ketchup and HP - No
Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans - Yes
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - No
Onions - no but easier to store there
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - unheard of
Opened jam and marmalade - No
Tomatoes - Yes
Butter in winter - Yes when wrapped, otherwise in butter dish out on worktop (this is my all year round paradigm)
Pickles and capers in jars - yes - taste nicer cold and crunchy
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - yes

None of it in the fridge

Once opened, all in the fridge except eggs and tomatoes. Tbh the eggs is only because my fridge is tiny, if I had room, they'd be refrigerated as well. Tomatoes taste miles better at room temperature however!

I keep everything in the fridge as I don't have much cupboard space. As a child eggs, ketchup, onions would live out. Pretty much everything else in fridge still.

Eggs- yes
Ketchup - yes
HP- no
Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans- yes
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit- don’t need to be, but I like them chilled
Onions- no, although if they’re cold they don’t make you cry as much
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon- no
Opened jam and marmalade- yes
Tomatoes- yes
Butter in winter- yes
Pickles and capers in jars- once opened, yes
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes- once opened, yes

These go in our fridge:

Grapes
Onions
Opened jam and marmalade
Tomatoes

Eggs - no, u less hard boiled
Ketchup and HP - yes once opened
Mayo - not fresh made PseudoHellmans - yes, once opened
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - yes
Onions - no
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - there's always one in the fridge
Opened jam and marmalade - yes (my parents don't though)
Tomatoes - fresh, yes
Butter in winter - yes
Pickles and capers in jars - no
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - yes

English for reference.

Agree with all

tomatoes must never be in the fridge. If they are they become a piece of tasteless red fruit

None of it in the fridge!

I live very happily without a fridge or freezer. It's a relatively modern innovation. I haven't died yet.

Eggs - Out
Ketchup and HP - Out
Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans - In once opened
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit- Grapes in, no other fruit though
Onions - Out when whole, in when cut
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - Out
Opened jam and marmalade - In
Tomatoes - In
Butter in winter - In
Pickles and capers in jars - In once opened
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - In once opened

Assuming it’s all opened I keep it all apart from eggs in fridge.
I like grapes crispy from the fridge.

Only grapes white wine and tomatoes.

Fanny Craddock said she'd sooner put a baby in the fridge than an egg! I agree

NOT FRIDGE
Eggs - fridge makes fresh eggs less fresh, keeps them in a sort of indefinite state of half-freshness, weird imho
Ketchup and HP - unless you particularly want it cold
Onions - won't caramelise as well if they've been in fridge
Butter in winter - current on the go pack out, back-up in fridge
Pickles and capers in jars - why would these go in the fridge?
Opened jam and marmalade - unless very slow jam-eater (3+ months)

FRIDGE
Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - personal preference but I like cold grapes
Tomatoes - OK but bring to room temp before eating
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - why not be ready though?
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - force of habit
PLUS Face masks

Eggs, onions, tomatoes, and butter out of the fridge. Everything else in the fridge.

I am assuming the jars are open.

White wine should always be in the fridge, ideally a dedicated wine fridge!!

I only put cherry tomatoes in the fridge. Larger ones stay out to protect the texture.

All in the fridge except the wine (assuming the jams and condiments are open).

I’m aware eggs and butter don’t need to be in the fridge, but it’s the easiest place to keep them.

Eggs - counter
Ketchup and HP - pantry
Mayo - not fresh made. PseudoHellmans - fridge
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - fridge
Onions - freezer
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - fridge and rack (back up needed)
Opened jam and marmalade - pantry
Tomatoes - fridge
Butter in winter- pantry all year round
Pickles and capers in jars - fridge once opened
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - fridge once opened

pantry is not as cold as fridge, but not as warm as kitchen. HTH 🤪

Apparently you take the flavour out of tomatoes by putting them in the fridge! Onions I always kept out, there’s mixed things on the eggs as they’re not refrigerated in the supermarket but have heard many say you’re keeping food poisoning causing microorganisms at bay by keeping them in the fridge

Amendment to my original list: Mayo should probably be in the fridge.

Not onions
Not tomatoes
Yes to everything else

Eggs - not in the fridge
Ketchup and HP - fridge after opening
Mayo - not fresh made. - fridge after opening
Grapes and other casual pick-one-up fruit - one pack always out on the side, additional packs for future snacking in the fridge
Onions - not in the fridge
*White wine you don't plan to drink soon - in the fridge only for the 24 hours before drinking and once open
Opened jam and marmalade - only in the fridge if it gets over 30⁰
Tomatoes - see grapes, ones for immediate eating out to ripen, spares in the fridge
Butter in winter - see jam
Pickles and capers in jars - fridge
Easy garlic and tomato puree in tubes - fridge
