I think I only have about three of those things; American cheese isn’t a thing here’ we don’t refrigerate eggs, or bread, or most fruit; butter I have, and Land O Lakes has no brand presence here so I could check that one.
I find that a surprisingly high amount (38%) or horseradish.
My wife prefers oat milk to almond milk. And we went shopping today, and bought more liverwurst to go with the single slice that was there yesterday.
My wine comes in a Box!
Well, mine too, but I’m saying if it did come in a bottle!
I have seven on that list, but if you’d asked me a few weeks ago, before the big storm that led to the five-day power outage, I’d have had several more. It was my excuse to throw out a bunch of stuff.
What’s the reasoning behind this eclectic list?
Random nosyness.
mmm
Why the hell do people keep pnut butter in the fridge? Or Bread?
I answer yes to tomato juice but it is really V8
We use both butter (Ralphs brand) and some spread which is 60% butter and 40 % canola oil, that spreads soft.
3 or 4 kinds of that.
Our only source of fresh bread is Whole Foods, which is a good half hour away. So yeah, when we go, I grab a loaf- and eat it, usually all that day. Mind you, if we have a local bakery that had fresh bread, we’d get it sooner. I do not count the Ralphs “fresh bread”.
My peanut butter, Smuckers Natural has no preservatives. The oil would go bad!
Or would it?
Should I start a thread asking?
Smackers.com says no, you do not need to store Smuckers natural peanut butter in the fridge.
If it did need to be refrigerated after opening, the company would say so on the jar.
I use Adams Natural Chunky peanut butter. Ingredient list is peanuts and salt. They recommend refrigerating after opening and stirring. Refrigeration keeps it from separating again.
How do the contents know if they’re standing upright?
@Mean_Mr.Mustard was standing in front of his open fridge and wondering whose fridge’s contents matched his fridge’s contents. His fridge’s doppelganger, you could say. Also, he wished he had bought Land O’Lakes butter instead of that less expensive house brand. Same with that inferior house brand ketchup and cream cheese he couldn’t pass up when it was on sale. Having drank a can of beer and a partial bottle of wine, he forgot to include “Mustards other than French’s” on his list.
I don’t know. It’s clever for an inanimate object? Seriously, ime it does go flat more quickly. The other thread seems to say science. I don’t know that’s why I asked them.
I googled when I read the poll (since I don’t refrigerate it either), and apparently the issue isn’t so much it “going bad” as the oil separating out if it sits there long enough. Refrigeration slows that.
Or just using up the whole jar fast enough it doesn’t have the time to separate, like me.
I don’t keep bread in the fridge. But i have some in the freezer. Mostly, i buy a load of bread and eat it in a day or three, and leave it on the counter. If i haven’t been to the supermarket recently, i don’t have fresh bread. (Unless we made some.) But i also keep a loaf of sliced sandwich bread in the freezer. It’s plenty good for a quick pb&j sandwich, which is a quick and easy lunch when i don’t have any leftovers and don’t want to cook anything.
I don’t keep peanut butter in the fridge, either.
Here it is, with mayo on white bread, just to complete the picture.
Tastes better, IMHO.
In general, yes - my wife and I decide every day what we want to eat for dinner, and one of us pops down to one of the nearby grocery stores and picks up the ingredients. But stuff like fresh bread and milk we have delivered to our door every morning.
I like living in the city.
Eek. That looks like something my school used to serve up (minus the bread and mayo) with round lettuce and a hard tomato and call it a salad.
I didn’t get caught by any of the “Food product except X” questions: I neither had them nor had just the excluded brand. I did get caught by the opposite: just shredded 3-type Cheddar cheese, not American.
I also have bread, bananas, and peanut butter outside the fridge.
