To think ketchup lives in the cupboard??

[puds11]

Not the bloody fridge! Just had to hunt it down in the kitchen for my turkey dinosaurs and it’s in the fridge!

YABU: should be in the fridge
YANBU: someone in your house needs talking to

Tomato sauce - stuff that goes on pasta

Ketchup - made of tomatoes and goes on chips

Red sauce - some kind of fake ketchup/cheap bottled sauce that is not proper ketchup

Heinz is no longer proper ketchup due to the changed flavour and ingredients a few years back, so has been relegated to red sauce or in our case, the bin, along with the shite you get from MacD's, I think it is flavoured with spices and celery.

We have always kept ours in the cupboard - ketchup should be room temperature, not icy cold! Just wrong.

Mine lives upside down resting on the side of our knife block (it is slanted).

Fridge!

Mine in cupboard along with all my other pickles and condiments. Have never had food poisoning from any of them. I even keep homemade jams in the cupboard once opened.

Eggs on the kitchen side

No no no no no. It goes in the bloody fridge. God when my sister and I used to go to my Nana's, her cupboard ketchup made us feel sick. Always gets those dry minging bits

Sauce caddy; do I need one?

Less additives mean it needs to live in fridge.

Fridge but my husband says out as he can't taste things when they are cold...

Fridge once opened

Ketchup and brown sauce in the cupboard, mayonnaise in the fridge!

Always kept it in the cupboard and my mum did as well. Never had or have heard of anyone getting food poisoning from ketchup. Having said that a bottle doesn't last long in my house so not like it's sat for ages. Can't believe most people keep it in the fridge! What about brown sauce then?!

Fridge. I must be honest though OP, I'd rather not have it cold. So you're just a teeny bit unreasonable, but not much

Fridge once opened.
Peanut butter in the cupboard though.

Fridge

All these labels that say fridge are rubbish, Cupboard is fine, these are preserves, not fresh food, I have never had ketchup or may go off, or pickles and other preserves. They are full of chemicals anyway, just covering their backs

Mayo that's not been in fridge can definitely give you food poisoning as it contains egg!

Cupboard if unopened then fridge!

On the table with the salt and pepper

It used to be okay in the cupboard but nowadays has less salt and other stuff in it so needs to be in the fridge once opened.

Cupboard and I’ve got a stomach of steel. And a pantry with a cold slab so it’s just as good as a fridge anyway.

Fridge, because that is what the bottle says and I'm a stickler for rules!

Cupboard and we’ve never seen mould or been ill. My Nan and DM kept it in the cupboard too (so at least 40+ years of being fine - maybe we’ve just been lucky).

Cupboard for us but then I have no worries about it going off anyway as DS has it with nearly every meal!

Fridge

I'm American. Fridge all the way.
Though my FIL kept his salad cream in the cupboard.
He did live to 90 though.
