To say that people who put their tomato sauce/ketchup in the fridge are plain wrong.

[Salmotrutta]

They just are.

There is no need.

Similarly, the deluded people who put eggs in the fridge are wrong.

Eggs are best left at room temperature.

Fact.

And don't get me started on butter...

Thank you lyingwitch and moln

I will try aldi.

I am on heinz but at the mo but my secret love is the burger van stuff. My mouth starts watering when I pass one and its all I can do to stop squirting it in my mouth.

Now I have to go process this news about Heinz threatening to stop salad cream. Are they insane!? They can keep their mayo though that's nasty.

salmon you are an excellent thread starter.

Salmo not salmon!

We're currently using Lidl TK. DD assures me it's very nice. And a fraction of the cost of Heinz.

I store all opened condiments in the fridge. If I don't then they go mouldy!

You are all BU for buying ketchup.

When I need ketchup I ring for my Spanish Chef who comes and presses sunripened plum tomatoes between his tanned, muscly thighs then adds gold leaf, unicorn horn shavings and pizazz. So there.

Show off!

YANBU I worked as a food safety officer for 10 years and my ketchup, jam etc is in the cupboard.
The clue is in the name, they're known as PRESERVES

You know I was joking right?

Unicorns are an endangered species.

Doesn't stop some people FastWindow. How do we know you aren't joking about joking hmmm? You might be trying to cover up your blatant contribution to the unicorn decline?

Bet you use dragon parts in your skincare don't you? Huh? Huh?

...I thought I hadn't seen many unicorns around lately....

I now have that unicorn song from 'Despicable Me' going around in my head... "Unicorns I love them, Uni-Uni-Unicorns... If they were real I'd have one but they are so I will...".

Moln... Was that for me? :(

I can take it...

I keep anything like ketchup, chutney or jam in the fridge because I find It goes mouldy a lot quicker in the cupboards for some reason.

lyingwitch unless I have missed something I don't think moln was commenting to you. Am I right moln?

I am glad I don't know the unicorn song or I would have it too.

Eggs and ketchup go in fridge.

Butter is left out and covered.

Never goes off or horrible because we eat it quickly.

Don't Google the unicorn song (Irish version) that really WILL get stuck. For days years

moln i would indeed use dragon parts. If there were any left. Have you a secret supplier? And if you did, would you keep them in the fridge?

SummerHouse... I was having a little dig - at myself

I'm still singing the unicorn song (in my head, thankfully)

Oh I gotcha. I am resisting googling the song as tempted as I am.

... Sorry to have mentioned the song again.... You have no chance of shedding it as your audio screensaver.

It's hardwired into my head now and I must have been humming it as little fingers (not mine!) have put Despicable Me on and the unicorn song will be on in a bit. I do like that film, but I was watching 'Lewis'.

I urge you not to google the unicorn song... for your own sanity.

That makes me want to Google it even more.

But I am resisting.

Ketchup lives in the fridge. It's where it's happy.

I've heaps of dragon, it may or may not be in the fridge.

I keep my tomato sauce in the cupboard and live in a hot part of AUstralia where I rarely use the air con. I have always put eggs bought from the fridge in the fridge and from the shelves in the pantry. I was told once it has something to do with the cold changing the membrane
